Mullato Vader counts himself as an ally just like Wedge Unique. The theoretical max bonus is +120 speed if opponent is using all Rebel/Jedi with Ezra, Kanan and Old Ben.
Maybe... maybe not...
When @CG_Kozispoon went thru explanation above notice that DV was left out of the calculation..

Hiya, Nabbed a couple of questions in this thread for our design team to answer. I'll update with more when needed.
Q: If a character is both Empire and Sith or both Jedi and Rebel, does Vader's unique trigger twice for them? Basically, would he get 16 speed for Palpatine, Old Ben, Ezra and Kanan or just 8?
- Answer: He would get the former speed bonus mentioned. Although in that example, with those combination of units, his speed bonus is actually +32 speed at level 1 of his unique ability (+4 Speed for each instance of Empire, Sith, Jedi and Rebel).
Palpatine is Empire and Sith (4 + 4 = 8 )
Old Ben, Ezra, and Kanan are Rebel and Jedi (++)=24.
Q: Zader's previous abilities stay the same I assume? The dots still cannot be cleansed?
- Answer: The end result of his leader ability "Inspiring Through Fear" remains the same, just the progression upgrade offense numbers were tweaked to be whole numbers instead of decimal numbers.
- His special, "Force Crush", can no longer be countered. This is available at the base level of the ability.
- - His basic ability was boosted to deal more damage, even though the upgrade progression remains the same.
- His special, "Culling Blade", received a 5% damage increase in upgrade 6. It replaced the -1 cooldown, which was converted to the base level of the ability (used to previously unlock at a 4 turn cooldown, and now unlocks at a 3 turn cooldown).
Q: Will either of these upgrades come with a stat increase?? The power on Vader basic was always a little low.
- Answer: Yes, Vader's basic ability got a big damage boost as well as minor one for "Culling Blade"
Q:Vader rework- Will this Zeta slow down Zader’s ship or allow his ship to go faster?
- Answer: His ship will gain 2 speed when completely maxed out. The new unique should only speed up his ship, not slow it down.
Q: Does Vader's immunity to turn meter reduction mean that if dazed he will still get turn meter from bonus effects?
- No. Daze prevents Turn Meter Gain. Vader is immune to Turn Meter Removal. They hit different things, so Vader can still be affected by Daze
