That character gets to add 2 to power of any starship he pilots. Are you running out of different pilots and is the cumulative rule bugging you ? Use [[Baniss Keeg]] to 'train' your characters and make hordes of different pilots, all capable of adding their pilot power bonus. Why, even a lowly [[Stormtrooper]] could become a power in his own right. And remember, pilots also enhance the power of combat vehicles. With 2 variants of basic AT-ATs and two named ones plus a named AT-ST ([[Blizzard 1]], 2 and [[Blizzard Scout 1]]), the Empire could use a lot of pilots (even if only to counter [[Snowspeeder]] threat). With Cloud City cloud sectors have become dominant. Basically, this card offsets the power reduction from clouds.

Basically, you could make any 'add 2 to power' character an 'add 3 to power' character, like [[Darth Vader]] or [[Danz Borin]]. Why not take this a step further and deploy [[Baniss Keeg]] on [[Danz Borin]]. He would then 'Add 4 to power of any starship' he pilots. Think of [[Darth Vader]] 'trained' by [[Baniss Keeg]] on [[Vader's Custom TIE]]. [[Darth Vader{{!}}Vader]] would then get: "On [[Vader's Custom TIE]], adds 5 to power and....." can your Light Side opponent say: "OUCH !" ?
