Card text
Before deploying fleets, you may set aside 1 other friendly ship with a command value of 3 or less. At the start of any round, you may deploy that ship at distance 1-2 of you. That ship cannot be deployed overlapping squadrons and cannot be the first ship to activate that round.

Timing
This Upgrade Card’s effect triggers at the start of a game round, before command dials are set in the Command Phase.
Deployment Interactions
If the ship with this Upgrade Card equipped is destroyed after resolving this Upgrade Card’s effect to deploy a ship, the ship that was deployed by this Upgrade Card’s effect still cannot be the first ship to activate that round.
Ships deployed with this Upgrade Card’s effect can be deployed overlapping anything except other ships and squadrons.
This Upgrade Card must be on a ship in the play area in order to trigger his card effect. For example, if this Upgrade Card’s ship was set aside by Hyperspace Assault or into Profundity, that ship must be deployed before being able to use this Upgrade Card.
Objective Interactions
Objectives which target ships in the play area cannot target a ship set aside by this Upgrade Card. Objectives which target ships not yet in the play area can target a ship set aside by this Upgrade Card. For this reason, a ship set aside by this Upgrade Card can be chosen for Intel Sweep and will receive a token for Blockade Run; it cannot be assigned as an objective ship for Most Wanted.
Upgrade Card Interactions
You cannot set aside this Upgrade Card’s ship into Profundity, and then set aside Profundity with this Upgrade Card, for two reasons. First, this Upgrade Card is no longer in effect after being set aside. Second, there would be no way you could ever deploy Profundity if you then also set it aside with this Upgrade Card’s effect.
When a ship set aside by this Upgrade Card is equipped with Aspiration or Local Fire Control, those effects would trigger during deployment, since those effects resolve when the ship deploys.
Proximity Mines and this Upgrade Card share the same timing window, so proximity mine tokens can be placed before choosing a ship to be set aside by this Upgrade Card (subject to first and second player considerations).
