Pilot Defection

Setup: Before deploying fleets, the first player must choose 3 additional non-unique squadrons of the opposing faction with a total value up to 40 points and add them to the second players fleet for this battle.

Special Rule: Once per game, at the start of any Squadron Phase, the first player may assign 1 objective token to 1 of the chosen squadrons. This squadron is the defector and is added to the first player’s fleet for the remainder of the game. When the defector is destroyed, the second player gains 1 victory token.

End of Game: If the defector is at distance 1 of one of the first player’s ships and beyond distance 1 of enemy ships or squadrons, the first player gains 1 victory token.
