Obi-Wan Kenobi

When a ship is attacked, if that ship spent a “Readied” Redirect defense token, in the “Resolve Damage” step, before damage is suffered. Commander Obi-Wan Kenobi can be resolved to reduce the total damage by 1.
This reduction shares the same timing as Brace. Meaning the defender can choose which is resolved first. However there is no apparent benefit in applying Commander Obi-Wan Kenobi until after Brace.

Commander Obi-Wan Kenobi and Expert Shield Tech can both resolve to reduce damage by 2. As Commander Obi-Wan Kenobi only requires that a “Readied” Redirect defense token is spent. Then you can choose which effect to resolve with that spent defense token. Either the standard effect, or the Expert Shield Tech effect.

Commander Obi-Wan Kenobi and Reactive Gunnery can both resolve from the same spent “Readied” Redirect defense token. As Commander Obi-Wan Kenobi only requires that a “Readied” Redirect defense token is spent. Then you can choose to resolve the Salvo effect rather than the Redirect effect.

On Capacitor Failure. Cannot is an absolute, Obi-Wan Kenobi is not able to be used on a hull zone with no remaining shields, as it prevents the spending of a Redirect token.
