Ion Storm

The standard obstacles are modified, during setup remove the station obstacle. The second player places all obstacles beyond distance 5 of both players edges in the setup area.

The special rule:
When a ship ends its (or any) movement beyond distance 1 or 2 (1 if first player, 2 if second player.) of an obstacle, if it does not have an objective token. It is assigned 1 objective token. In order to remove this objective token, that ship must resolve a repair command.

Each ship has the following critical effect available to choose during the “Resolve Damage” step, if the attack pool contains at least 1 die with the critical icon showing.

While a ship is attacking a ship, if the defending ship has an objective token assigned to it, the attacker gains 1 victory token worth 15 points. Then the attacker chooses and discards 1 command token from the defender. If there are no command tokens that can be chosen and discarded, then the defending hull zone loses 1 shield instead.

The damage suffered by this card ability only affects the shield values of a ship, it does not cause any damage to a ships hull. When suffering the shield damage, that shield damage is suffered before the damage total is calculated. Meaning the shield damage cannot be blocked by card effects such as Major Derlin or Seventh Fleet Star Destroyer.

A defending ship that spends a contain defense token and also has Damage Control Officer equipped (and not discarded) will prevent any critical effects from resolving.

A defending ship that has Commander Gherant equipped (and not discarded),
the attacker cannot resolve any critical effects.

A players ship equipped with Jyn Erso (Boarding Team) could score a victory token from a player’s ship that has an objective token, during the game.
