So, the Havoc has made it into the Armada game "Rouges and Villains" expansion.
Do you think it will make it's way to X-Wing? Will it be Scum or Rebels?

Yes, I'm sure it will be introduced to X-Wing at some point and probably on the Rebellion side.

Wasn't the Havoc a prequel era ship though?

I'd love it to be for Scum. Nym wasn't necessarily allied to the Rebels, and he's the only notable Scurrg pilot.

I'm not exactly clear on the history of the ship. Wookieepedia has it being of Naboo design pre-Clone Wars. Being of that era hasn't stopped any of the Rebel or Scum large base ships, though.
What we have so far:
Imperials: Firespray, Shuttle and Decimator
Rebels: YT-1300, YT-2400, Ghost
Scum: Firespray, Aggressor, YV-666, Jumpmaster 5000
I think that I would be really cool as a Rebel/Scum crossover ship but Scum already have a ship lead there.

Nym is the pilot of the Havoc which was an individual ship. It's a Scurrg H-6 Prototype Bomber, which was made by Nubian. Nym is noted as being a Rebel sympathizer, but not working for them. He was more of a pirate, which would put him solidly within the boundaries of Scum.
I wouldn't consider it a "Prequel ship" in the same vein that a Naboo Fighter or Droid Fighter would be. It was never on-screen at all, but it so happened to come out of a Prequel-era video game. A lot of people, even fans, probably wouldn't even recognize it let alone have a bad taste in their mouths over its link to the Prequels.

I would like to see that ship, brings back memories of Star Wars Starfighter!
I feel like it would be pretty similar to the Firespray in stats, it'd be cool to have the havoc title card replace crew with Salvaged Astromechs to fit the fluff (or maybe rebel astromechs due to being rebel sympathizer)...

Or possibly add an Astromech? Without trawling through my cards, I can't think of a ship that has both off the top of my head.

Dengar's Ship will have an astromech slot, but I'm not sure about crew.
Edit: Just checked... Dengar will have both Crew and a Salvaged Astromech.
I still like that title though... the ability to use a rebel astromech in conjunction with a Salvaged astromech would be a building challenge.
It seems like it would be about the same size as a k-wing... longer but not as wide. It would be a great bomber for the Scum and Villiany faction.

Im actually surprised it hasnt been rolled out yet. I thought it would be part of Wave 8, but then they showed us the Ghost instead.

I honestly can't see the Havoc being released in X-Wing, mainly because it would mean that sooner or later they would have to add in other prequel ships. Like how can they add in the Havoc, but not the other ships from Starfighter/Jedi Starfighter? Unless of course Nym makes a small appearance in the new films

The Havoc starfighter is a Prequel-era ship, not a Prequel ship. There is a huge and important difference between the two.

Yep, with the Z-95 and technically the Y-Wing also falling into the "Prequel-era" category. Although they were obviously around before the Prequels.

It probably will...but I had to wonder about its inclusion in Armada.
You have the Large Ships of X-Wing represented by the YT1300 and 2400, along with the HWK. The H6 should round that out to 4 ship types.
The Imps get the 4 Bounty Hunter ships.

I would expect to see the Decimator in Armada at some point. It made sense not to include it in this release though because it wouldn't have fit the theme.
