Is this pod bad? I’m trying to find synergies and it just seems like this one is weak in droid decks and in sith decks.

It's kind of "eh" to me. 

 

I think Aphra is kind of a dud herself. My issue with her is that she wants to be in both decks with a refresh affiliation (due to her text and her not being Elite) AND a 2-resource affiliation (because she's a 4-cost unit with a 2/1 resource).

 

I think the objective, chud and fate card are nice. But I've never truly tried to play with pod. Droid decks are tricky.

For me you don't play this set for Aphra, this is a support set and she becomes a bonus if you get her in the game, especially late game to use her effect before she gets locked down.

 

Only 2 cards in the the set are sith traited and she can be played with scum resources so really its only one.

 

Try making a scum deck and sneak this one in at the end. 

 

The objective if you have it out will more likely trigger, you have the influence resource out so that you can reclaim big cards late game.

 

But don't play her first turn shes not going to do you anything but cause frustration, but later on shes a pain to deal with.

 

Edit - Another option is to play her with 8t88, using the split faction card, you can chain react the affiliation reaction and 8t88 is a good 3 pip card to retrieve using her event. Then build from there.

I threw it into Navy, used it with Dark Troopers, Hoth Vader and Rav. It was a fun deck, Dark Trooper Project makes Aphra elite if committed. Pinging objectives when the Droids leave play for her ability is sneaky getting 2 pings with Rav and the Viper droids us even better.
