ABILITIES Some of the text on condition, damage, ship, and upgrade cards describe abilities. These abilities consist of a timing and an effect. * Unless a card ability uses the word “may” or has the “action:” or “attack:” headers, the ability is mandatory and must be resolved.

Ability Queue The Ability Queue is used to resolve the timing of multiple abilities that trigger during the same timing window. Abilities are resolved from the front of the queue to the back of the queue. These abilities are added to the back of the ability queue using the following rules:

Actions Ships can perform actions, which thematically represent things a pilot can do, such as repositioning slightly or flying defensively.

AGILITY A ship’s agility is the green number on its ship card. This value indicates the number of defense dice the ship rolls while it defends. * During an attack, a ship with an agility value of “0” can still roll additional defense dice granted by game effects such as the range bonus, the attack being obstructed by an obstacle, or other card abilities.

allied

ALLIED Some ships/devices controlled by the same player are allied to each other instead of being friendly. Allied ships are use by their player much like friendly ships, but do not interact with effects that affect “friendly ships.” * Ships cannot perform attacks against allied ships, unless specified otherwise.

arc

ARC An arc is an area formed between the lines created by extending hash marks or arc lines printed on a ship token to range 3. A ship is in an arc if any part of its base is inside that area. * Arcs are measured beyond the base of ships. The portion of any object that lies beneath a ship is not in any of those ship’s arcs.

card_interpretation

CARD INTERPRETATION c Use of “You” Many pilot and ship abilities use the word “you” to refer to the ship card’s corresponding ship. Upgrade, damage, and condition cards that use the word “you” refer to the ship to which the card has been dealt or equipped. Card effects that use “you” always refer to the ship or remote, not the player.

errata_and_conflicts

If there is a conflict when resolving a game effect between different translations and/or printings of cards, the most recent English printing takes precedent. The most recent card text can be found in the Errata.

golden_rules

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2026-05-08T11:49:48+00:00

If a rule in this guide contradicts the Rulebook, the rule in this guide takes precedence. If the ability of a card conflicts with the rules in this guide, the card ability takes precedence. If a card ability uses the word “cannot,” that effect is absolute and cannot be overridden by other effects.
