Why a Rebel Subjugator-class ship becomes a liability

Crew limitations and the scale of the expected Imperial response undermine the proposed Rebel capital ship.

Question

Would a Subjugator-class ship serve well in Rebel hands?

Short answer

The panel doubts the Rebels could man it, even with droids, and expects the Empire to send major assets against it.

Notes

The immediate objection is that the Rebels could barely man a Subjugator-class vessel, even with its extensive use of droids. Possession of such a large asset would also bring a large Imperial response. Those concerns are enough for the participants to reject it as an easy addition to the Rebel fleet. The short reply does not develop a separate repair, basing, or supply plan.
