The piece seems really aggressively costed. Is that so that Kyle Katarn can be played more effectively?

Mandalorian Technician
Mando 53/60
Cost: 15
HP: 30 Def: 15 Atk: +4 Dam: 20
SA: Speed 4, Blast Cannon, Power Coupling
Communications Supplies (replaces turn. 1 adjacent ally gains Relay Orders).
Frequency Amplification (Allied commander effect's ranges are increased by 2)
A little teaser - Another Mando coming out in set 5 will work really nice with this guy. Almost like they were made to go together. This new unique mando is rock solid and aggressively costed. Great addition. It's fun looking forward to seeing the Mandos compete! Alright - had to give just that much. No more hints on that one.

By the way, there is a New Years spoiler on Gamers. And yes, this one is official.

'View Active Topics' link is your friend. She's really interesting. I wonder if she will bring huges to the competitive level... or if its just going to result in mass b2 squads.

The B3 has long been one of my favorite pieces that I feel like is not quite as good as it could have been. I'm really excited to try this! The "accurate" missiles+Shields is going to be a blast

It does open up the Seps nicely in options. It is one of my favorite pieces in the sets, because there are a ton of fun options. You can set up some nasty B3 assaults with her. The Advanced Spider Droids get down right evil, even if the opponent is packing Ion Gun. And with all the Missiles 30 and 40 they have, watch the Republic opponent be very careful about their Doombot placements.

Quite happy that we finally get to see her as a figure! I have a custom already made for her and am excited to use her. Glad to see a new living sep, though shes clearly made to just be played with more droids. This gives me hope we may see some decimators. Though I would have chosen them as large not huge. But than again I have no idea. Please give me some decimators...

Does anyone know how Jan Ors will help Kyle? A synergy? I always found it disappointing he did not have at least force 1. But that is what light tutor is for. Anyone, Jan Ors?

Yes. ;) Check out the bothan transmission. There is one that is quite close. As for the Rebel Kyle, he doesn't benefit as much as the first Kyle.

Well, for those playing along:
Jan Ors is #29 in the set at a cost of 18. She really boosts up the sub-par Kylte Katarn from Universe with a whopping 3 SA boost from Camaraderie. I'll let the makers spoil the details.

Nicely done with Jan Ors. A good boost for the existing usable kyles, and brings the old one up to snuff. This is exactly how the v-sets should work. Help out everything, but if its possible to redeem a piece, then that should be the goal. You can really tell how much better the v-set team is getting at making pieces that really fix multiple problems when look at this Jan Ors and the new lando

The Bothan solution was a nice group effort by markedman247 (pegged the name early, leading to me guessing flavor text), adamb0nd, GeneralGrievous, saber1 and Voren_Chalco. Here she is: 29. Jan Ors R Cost 18 HP: 60 Def: 17 Atk: +6 Dam: 10 Special Abilities Unique. Pilot; Double Attack Affinity [May be in a New Republic squad] Camaraderie [An ally whose name contains Kyle Katarn gains Double Attack, Distraction, and Opportunist] Distraction [Suppresses adjacent enemy commander effects] Opportunist [+4 Attack and +10 Damage against an enemy who has activated this round] Relay Orders [Each allied commander can count distance from this character as well as from itself for the purpose of commander effects] Stealth [If this character has cover, she does not count as the nearest enemy for an attacker farther than 6 squares when choosing targets] "What would you do without me, Kyle?" A little something for all the Kyles, with more effective boosts for the shooters, especially the original Kyle, who I look forward to trying with her, R2PO GH and Anakin GH. (or perhaps another unspoiled V5 piece)

His was the triple cameraderi on Jan ors and the pilot cameraderi on Lando. Credit where credit is due.

Indeed, well done Sithborg. (sorry, I should've left the spoiler to you)
