Roark + Ion 24
Rebel Operative + Ion 21
Bandit 12
Bandit 12
Knave R3-A2+FCS 32

Roark boosts the Knave to stress Phantoms before they can recloak, or to ion it.
Bandits and Knave finish off ioned targets.
Knave blocks and stresses people out.

Thoughts?
Variations are Moldy Crow on Roark and swapping the Bandits for a Blue Squadron, or dropping the stress droid for R2-D2 on the Knave.

HWKs aren't really attack platforms. They can post a turret, but you’d need a Recon Specialist to fire a Blaster turret and have a Focus token to make up damage for the poor agility. Ions are easier, but if you have too many, then you are looking at a quick game, especially if you are facing a swarm.
