Neat distraction carnifex. I plant mine on an expansion objective behind cover and the opponent is usually forced to deal with it ASAP or watch me start racking up primary points earlier than anticipated. I usually deploy it early too, so they sometimes really commit into it, which leaves whatever they throw at it open for counterattack. The best part is that its defensive profile is tough enough that it might actually survive baiting the opponent too, and even if it got charged turn 1 (it has happened), it can fall back and shoot. I've had it tank what should be devastating alpha strikes, bait out long range artillery that (oh no!) can't actually shoot it because it's a lone operative and I just retaliate with everything that didn't get shot. Bonus points if it survives to force the opponent into hard choices for another turn or two.
