Card text
During the Squadron Phase, when it is your fleet’s turn to activate squadrons, you may instead exhaust this card. If you do, you may choose up to 2 unactivated non-unique squadrons with AI at close-long range. Activate each squadron as if by a command. Squadrons activated this way are treated as having a printed speed of “2”.

Timing
This Upgrade Card may be exhausted and resolved in the Squadron Phase, when it is your turn to activate squadrons.
Clarifications
Squadrons cannot move and attack when they are chosen for the purpose of this Upgrade Card effect. The phrasing “as if activated by a squadron command” is a trigger for the Al keyword and not to the ability of a squadron to both move and attack.
This Upgrade Card’s ability provides an alternative way to activate squadrons during the Squadron Phase, instead of the usual 2 Squadron activations when it is a player’s turn to activate squadrons in this phase.
As the equipped ship owner can choose any number of squadrons up to your squadron value when you resolve this Upgrade Card effect, they can choose to exhaust this Upgrade Card’s effect to activate O squadrons on their turn, essentially passing on their turn’s activations.
Multiple copies of this Upgrade Card can each resolve their effect during your fleet’s turn to activate squadrons. Each effect must be resolved separately.
Upgrade Card Interactions
This Upgrade Card does not interact with the Flight Controllers, San Hill, or the Relay keyword in any way.
