==RZ-2 A-Wing==
[[File:RZ-2.jpg|thumb|200px]]

Successor to the Rebellion's stunt flyer. The RZ-2 only appeared briefly in ''The Last Jedi'' before Kylo Ren blew up the hangar they were in. This thing seems by and far to be FFG's favorite ship for 2nd Edition, as it has received new pilots in three different expansions.
The big change from the RZ-1 is the turret. It can point forward or backward, and it can only be rotated as a red linked action. In the [[fluff]], the RZ-1 cannons are also supposed to rotate, but FFG probably wanted just wanted them to have a mechanical contrast. Who the hell knows? If you're good at zipping the RZ-1 into flanking positions, you will appreciate the versatility the RZ-2's turret offers. It is worth mentioning that because it counts as a turret, you cannot use Outmaneuver's effect, no matter how much it feels like you should. Statwise, it's almost identical to the RZ-1. The only other differences are the blue Bank 3s and tech upgrade slot. Its "Refined Gyrostabilizers" wholly has the effects of the RZ-1's "Vectored Thrusters," just with stuff for the turret added on.
*Prime candidate for Ferrosphere Paint. Or Primed Thrusters.
*It's not a bad idea to have some stress management on-hand, like Jaycris Tubbs.

===Pilots===
*'''Blue Squadron Recruit:''' Initiative 1 generic with a talent slot.
*'''Merl Cobben:''' (''HoH'') A-Wing pilot who allegedly survived the Battle of Crait despite not actually appearing in ''The Last Jedi''. When a Range 0-2 friendly is attacking a ship that has Merl bullseyed, the defender rolls one less defense die. His Initiative 1 means that he works best as a blocker. If you want him able to reposition into bullseyes, Primed Thrusters is a good investment along with a higher initiative Coordinator.
*'''Green Squadron Expert:''' Initiative 3 generic with a talent slot. This is where it gets awesome.
*'''Ronith Blario:''' (''H&A'') A rookie pilot who appeared in TLJ, and therefore died. When attacking or defending, if the enemy ship is in another friendly's turret arc, Ronith can spend that friendly's focus token to convert one eye result. It's kind of like a weirder ''Networked Calculations''.
*'''Zari Bangel:''' Minor character in ''Bloodline'' who was interested in Joph Seastriker's work with Leia and ended up being among the very first to join the Resistance. She can perform an action even if she bumps another ship.
*'''Greer Sonnel:''' A race pilot from Pamarthe ([[Sacris|Space Scotland]]). Had to abandon racing after being diagnosed with Bloodburn and became Leia's personal assistant leading up to the founding of the Resistance. She can rotate her turret (without getting stressed) after fully executing a maneuver. This frees her up to do another action and possibly boost. Greer loves Starbird Slash.
*'''Suralinda Javos:''' Blue paparazzi lady from the ''Poe Dameron'' comic series. Spied against the Resistance before signing on as a janitor and eventually a pilot. When she partially executes a maneuver, she can Strain to rotate 90° or 180°. An amusing choice for a Wing Leader in Epic.
*'''Wrobie Tyce:''' (''HoH'') The only member of Cobalt Squadron to survive to the end of ''Rise of Skywalker'', also married to Larma D'acy. When she defends at Range 1, she inflicts a Deplete token if the attacker modified their attack dice. Reasonably [[Choppy]]. She definitely appreciates having an ally with M9-G8 fucking with enemy attack dices to increase their pressure to modify.
*'''L'ulo L'ampar:''' A Duros pilot who flew with Green Squadron in The Battle of Endor. Close friend of Shara Bey and honorary uncle of Poe Dameron. When stressed, he gets +1 attack and -1 agility. Mostly awesome, as the ship is maneuverable and responsive enough to be able to avoid firing arcs, but if things go [[not as planned]], low agility is a death sentence for such a fragile ship. As the 'Luminous Mentor' the squad leader talent is a natural upgrade to give him a red coordinate to stress him and help another ship.
*'''Tallissan Lintra:''' The insanely cute pilot who died too soon in TLJ. Being an escort pilot, she can grant an extra defense die to an ally if the attacker is in her bullseye. Cheaper than the potent L'ulo L'ampar, but definitely safer. Daredevil and Pattern Analyzer can help her get into position.
*'''Zizi Tlo:''' (''H&A'') TLJ casualty. No other information is available. She has a single recurring charge that can be spent after attacking or defending to gain a focus or evade token. Simple, but awesome, and a bit pricier than other Init 5s.
*'''Seftin Vanik:''' (''HoH'') A former circus stunt flyer who died at Exegol. When he performs a Boost action, he can transfer an evade token to a Range 1 friendly ship. Seftin definitely benefits from having a lower initiative coordinate if you want to fire his ability off with any frequency.
