When a ship equipped with Auxiliary Shield Team resolves the Repair command, the maximum shield values in the left and right hull zones as listed on the ship card, are increased by “1”.

But only if you move or recover shields to those zones. If you do, the shields in left and right zones cannot exceed a maximum of “4”.

The left and right hullzone listed shield values are only increased by a maximum of 1. Example from 1 -> 2. Or 3 -> 4.
They are never increased by more than 1. Example from 2 -> 3, 3 ->4.
Shields that are already at “4” cannot increased further.

Note that only the ship equipped with Auxiliary Shield Team can increase the maximum shield values as it says “When you recover or move shields”. “You” meaning “that ship”, thus another ship could not move shields to increase the maximum with a card like Projection Experts. Projection Experts can still move shields to restore shields up to the value listed on that ships ship card.

If a card such as Darth Vader (Boarding Team) was to discard Auxiliary Shield Team, any shields that exceed a hull zones maximum shield value are immediately lost.

Redundant Shields do not resolve a repair command, and thus, do not trigger this card.
