Now unfortunately we don't have Clone War units truly in X-Wing (yet), man I'd love a couple Jedi Interceptors. But we do have units from the era that have survived into the vague "X-Wing" time period. These units are durable, have decent dials, and solid firepower with good options.

In the current meta, durability, multiple arcs, token and action economy, and red dice inflation rule.  Stress helps and the Y-Wing does a little of that while possessing a turret that is a legit threat to small agile ships (hi Fenn) and can still put damage on the big ships.  As far as clearing their own stress, the ARCs are good at it with 2's being all green and with PTL they are pretty solid arc dodgers themselves.  I've gunned down Scum of every variety with with list and taken on Kanen/Biggs builds just fine (its not a dominating match, but I feel like I'm not intimidated or worried about them and the Y-Wing's autoblaster provides a very nice Biggs counter either by being able to ignore him due to range bands or putting kill shots into him.

Rear arcs are a big help when facing more agile foes... Shara will drop enemy agility by 1 and can often add a crit while its not that tough to get 5 red dice out of Norra's front arc.  Lando is probably the crew member most people would want to sway out, and if you do, consider another tail gunner, but I have yet to roll double blanks with him and he's produced so many useful evades that I just can't swap him out.  Engine upgrade also gives the ARC some really nice speed and helps pull enemy's into whichever arc sets up your next move best.

I really think in the current meta, if looking to avoid the typical net-list choices, this list or some variation of it could go far.  Give it a go and let me know how it works!  Feel free to ask any questions too.
