UNIT NAME: Marauder

ALIGNMENT: Light

CATEGORIES: Support, Galactic Republic, Clone Trooper

Key Attributes:

• Marauder is a ship of Valor which spreads Valor to it’s fellow allies 
• Valor will have Target Locked enemies perform an emergency hyperspace jump to safety 
• Plan 99 provides the Marauder a 2nd chance for victory 
• With the Reworked Endurance Capital Ship, Valor becomes very prominent on Clone Trooper allies…which inturn synergises really well with the Marauder 

Inspiration:

• The Bad Batch’s transport, Marauder, took center stage in the second season of the show, so we felt that bringing it to the game and helping lift Endurance fleets was a perfect fit.
  
• We looked to the show for inspiration for the abilities and names. Tech Turn and Have We Ever Followed Orders? are taken directly from the show.
• Plan 99 is our light homage to the (spoiler) loss of Tech at the end of Season 2, losing some buffs the first time the ship would be defeated, and increasing the cooldown of Tech Turn.

Strategy Tips:

• With the Reworked Endurance Capital Ship, the use of Clone ships as a starting fleet is highly recommended
• Give Marauder as much time as possible to do what it does best
• Valor should not be overlooked
  

Endurance Rework:

In adding a new Galactic Republic ship we wanted to take the time to improve the Endurance to be more competitive in today’s meta, especially after the well received update that Mace Windu got. (Thank you Rambam for asking about an Endurance update mere seconds after learning about the Mace Windu one).

Endurance will take Marauder as part of her fleet very well, as well as be a home for some orphaned ships like Lando’s Millennium Falcon and Ebon Hawk.
