Garel’s Honor

When a ship equipped with Garel’s Honor overlaps an enemy ship, the enemy ship suffers a faceup damage card.

Damage Control Officer does not prevent Garel’s Honor from resolving.

Lira Wessex would be able to turn the faceup damage card facedown if a repair token is spent.

The Hardened Bulkheads ability does not override the card ability of Garel’s Honor as it deals 1 faceup damage card when it overlaps a ship. (But not when it is overlapped)

In regards to the timing of Garel’s Honor, Lira Wessex, and Hardened Bulkheads: The timing does not allow for Lira Wessex to turn a faceup damage card from Garel’s Honor, to a facedown damage card to then not be dealt by Hardened Bulkheads.
This is because Lira Wessex can only resolve her ability “when” a faceup damage card is dealt. A dealt damage card has passed the timing window of Hardened Bulkheads of “deal 1 less”

In a rare case of “what if”: If General Dodonna is equipped to a Hammerhead that is also equipped with Garel’s Honor, and his ship rams an enemy ship but would be destroyed in doing so, would General Dodonna resolve his ability before his ship is destroyed? Yes, because the damage card is dealt first, and resolved, then any destroyed ships are removed after all maneuvers have been executed.
