Friendly squadrons that are at distance 1 of Major Rhymer can attack ships at close range instead of being restricted to distance 1. This includes Major Rhymer himself.
When a friendly squadron attacks in this way, it ignores the dice color restrictions on the range side of the ruler, rolling all dice in its battery armament (the rightmost armament on the squadron card).
