“Matchstick’s” ability does not increase the number of squadrons a ship resolving a command using Triumphant’s ability can activate. The total number of squadrons that may be activated using Triumphant’s ability is 3.

A ship resolving a command using Triumphant’s ability may choose to activate up to 3 squadrons with bomber at distance 1-3 of “Matchstick” if “Matchstick” is at close range of the ship equipped with Triumphant.

While Matchstick is unengaged, if a friendly bomber at Distance 1 of Matchstick activates and moves beyond Distance 1 of Matchstick, that bomber no longer has rogue and cannot perform an attack.
While Matchstick is unengaged, if a friendly bomber beyond Distance 1 of Matchstick activates and ends its movement at Distance 1 of Matchstick, that bomber gains rogue and can then perform an attack.
