Minor Rebel Hero Request - Pash Cracken's A-Wings
Developers,

This is by NO MEANS a complaint on the mod; I absolutely love it! I understand your answer to the FAQ #2 about why certain things might not be added, which is why this is just a casual inquiry. Looking at the time period in Star Wars history that this mod covers, I noticed that the events around Pash Cracken and his fighter group of A-Wings would match up perfectly! If you're concerned that their role is already filled by Rogue Squadron, then I understand (I just have a personal obsession with the A-Wing).

For information and relevance, Pash Cracken early on led a full wing of TIE fighter pilots in a defection to the Rebels. They were issued the A-Wing and became one of the first flight groups to be assigned the new fighter. Their exploits included killing the Victory-Class Star Destroyer Exsanguinator without casualties and supporting Rogue Squadron during the crucial battle over Thyferra in the brief Bacta War. Their existence is noted through the X-Wing book series as being operational both during the GCW and well into the New Republic.

As far as capabilities are concerned, I am a terrible judge of over-powered or irrelevant unit creation... but they feel like a fun potential addition that could be manufactured after unlocking that tier of starfighter production, but only from a particular planet or after a specific mission, maybe? Obviously, giving them the ability to murder capital ships like Rogue Squadron can do, if played right, would be too much, but maybe there's a niche to be found somewhere in fighter-interceptor superiority?

Anyways, y'all have done an AMAZING job with this mod, and I thank you for it (regardless of the end result of this discussion thread, haha).
