This Starter Deck is comprised of the Maverick and Shi factions.
Incursion Starter Deck: Suppression (Maverick/Shi) - US Letter
Thoughts:
Starting play with ♦Seyal/Light Side will set you up with an initial Activation Phase of at least 4 Energy (2 from the Sector, 1 standard, and at least 1 from your opponent's Location), as well as a Shi Support Icon.
This deck plays a solid game of both Sector and Site control. ♦Irama-Vishal can be a real thorn in the side for locations without a Shi Support Icon. With a Tactics of 3, you are primed to quickly hit 4 at the location for Battle Destiny and Attrition - and with Defense 7 you can choose to Damage it and absorb high Casualties. Anant Aeronaut is positioned to turn any of your ships into real problems at Sectors, with Piloting 3 you will reach a Tactics of 4 on any of your ships they pilot.
There are some good card advantage options available. Take every opportunity to leverage Assailing Vatarma when you can. Sultry Opportunist gives you the chance for an Control Phase card draw. Traginium Heist can help stall an opponent's plans as well.
I think I would do an early swap out of Ceres/Belt Hideaway for ♦Seyal/Dark Side, leveraging the ability of Sudeva Quarrel.
