Prototype Recovery

Setup: Before deploying fleets, the second player must choose 1 additional non-unique squadron with a total value of 8-20 fleet points. This is the prototype, and is set aside. After placing obstacles, the first player places an objective token in the center of the play area.

Special Rule: When a ship at distance 1 of an objective token resolves a [squadron] command, instead of activating squadrons, that ship’s owner may roll 1 blue die. If a [critical] icon is rolled, the prototype is added to the player’s fleet for the remainder of the game. If that ship belongs to the second player, the prototype is added if a [hit] icon is rolled instead. Then the controlling player deploys the prototype at distance 1 of the objective token and discards the token. While the prototype is attacking, each [critical] icon adds 1 to the damage total.

End of Game: If the prototype is in the play area, the controlling player gains 1 victory token.
