Assault Proton Torpedoes

When spending a Redirect defense token, the defender declares which adjacent hull zone(s) is being chosen to suffer damage in the “spend defense token” step. This occurs before the attacker chooses and resolves a critical effect in the “Resolve Attack Effects” step. Once chosen, the defender cannot select a different hull zone. This can be important for the effect of this Upgrade Card; faceup damage cards such as Shield Failure or Projector Misaligned that may reduce or remove all shields from the chosen hull zone(s).

If a ship with Fire Control Team equipped resolves both this Upgrade Card critical effect and the standard critical effect, only the damage card dealt by resolving this Upgrade Card is dealt face up.

If a ship equipped with Fire Control Team resolves the critical effects of both this Upgrade Card and XX-9 Turbolaser, the damage card dealt by this Upgrade Card would be the “first” faceup damage card dealt. If any damage is then also dealt to the defending ship’s hull, it would suffer its “second” faceup damage card as XX-9 Turbolasers applies its effect. Only two faceup damage cards would be dealt faceup in total.
