Timing

This Upgrade Card’s effect triggers when a friendly ship or unique squadron is dealt damage equal to or higher than its hull value, which would result in it being destroyed.

Clarifications

Ships and squadrons affected by this Upgrade Card are destroyed at the end of the Status Phase regardless of the number of damage cards or hull points they have at that time. These ships or squadrons are removed before resolving any “end of round” or “end of game” effects.

Ships and squadrons affected by this effect are treated as not destroyed until the end of the Status Phase for all purposes (attacking, defending, resolving card abilities, etc). These ships and squadrons can suffer additional damage from resolving effects such as Ruthless Strategists.

This Upgrade Card’s effect affects the ship he is equipped to. If this effect prevents the last ship in this Upgrade Card’s fleet from being destroyed, the game ends at the end of the game round.

A ship or unique squadron may continue to be attacked and/or suffer damage while in the play area. Damage cards are still drawn on a ship that has been destroyed yet still in the play area under the effect of this Upgrade Card.

Once a ship or unique squadron is destroyed and under the effect of this Upgrade Card, it must be removed from the play area at the end of the Status Phase, even if it had recovered lost hull.

Objective Interactions

A ship under this Upgrade Card’s effect may still be used by the opponent to score points from objectives such as Precision Strike and Superior Positions.

A ship or squadron under this Upgrade Card’s effect is removed from the play area at the end of the Status Phase, meaning that it cannot score on objectives that take place “end of round” or “end of game”.

This Upgrade Card’s effect may be used on an armed or unarmed station that the player controls as “stations are treated as ships when resolving effects”. This ruling is primarily for Station Assault and Corellian Conflict objectives.

Play Area Interactions

If a ship or squadron would be destroyed by leaving the play area, it is destroyed immediately (regardless of this Upgrade Card’s effect).

If the ship that this Upgrade Card is equipped to leaves the play area, a ship or squadron already affected by this effect remains in the play area
until the end of the Status Phase.

Squadron Interactions

Biggs Darklighter cannot move damage to a friendly unique squadron that is destroyed yet still in play due to this Upgrade Card’s effect.

Campaign Interactions

In the Corellian Conflict campaign, if a ship is under the effect of this Upgrade Card and it departs the area via hyperspace retreat, then the ship is NOT considered destroyed (although its points are scored as if it had been). That ship is also not scarred, as it was never removed from the play area.
