So I've been experimenting with Cad Bane in OR squads and need some options. So far as a start I have:
Cad Bane
Bastila JM
Lobot
Ugo
R7 astro
Points = 125
That leaves me 75 left. I'm thinking maybe JBMs, but their attack is kinda low. Jedi Seer is another possibility.
I need something to fend off melee so Cad doesn't get murdered too quickly by a strong melee piece(Mace, Corran, ect.)
Any thoughts?

Thon, Kavar, and Vodo are all Old Rep pieces with a decent bit of longevity.
Although she might not be exactly what you're looking for, the Jedi Exile would give Cad Bane Extra Attack, which could be pretty nice.
If you want to indulge in pieces from the new set, consider adding the new Bao-Dur, and having him shield-up Cad. Sure, Shields 1 isn't a game-changer, but combined with Evade, it will probably give Cad a nice little boost. If you eventually take the Bao-Dur approach, consider droids to round things out. Since the squad isn't using any commander effects currently, there's no real penalty to using droids.

If the new Bao-Dur is legal for play then yeah I given him a look for 21 points. Another thought would be Figgy D'an to run cover for Cad. Do like the Seer and the JBM as viable filler options.

Do like the Seer and the JBM as viable filler options. Technically, the new Bao-Dur doesn't exist. Although, there might be an avenue. I need to look at the options.

Ricky played a solid OR squad last year at Gencon:
Cad
Dash
Exile
Bastilla
Houjix (to bg for the fragile pieces and the door control)
Ugnaughts
With both Cad and Dash shooting 6x (at 30dmg per hit), it had plenty of dmg output, and the Houjix gave it good survivability, in addition to the CE-neutering provided by Bastilla. I'd probably drop Dash and work in Atton Jaq Rand now, but it seems like a pretty good OR Cad option, IMHO.
The frustrating thing about OR (and the thing that keeps them from being used more often) is that they have either 1) mid-costed pieces with low-attack values that make those pieces marginally effective, or else 2) high-costed pieces (Kavar, Thon) which are often worth their points but are hard to build around because their cost is so high. They need more pieces like Jaq and Carth (mid-cost pieces with decent attack values).

I think you mean Ruben (slightaddict) Cad in OR is cool. I keep trying to work him into a good NBSV squad to no avail.
