Sunder

The reprint text from the Upgrade Card Collection is incorrect. The correct version of this card is the original text found on the original upgrade card, which is the following text.

“Blue or Black : You may discard this card to choose and discard 1 , , , , or upgrade card equipped to the defender.”

Reference

Question: When a card ability allows a player to discard an upgrade (i.e. Sunder, Shriv Suurgav, Darth Vader (Weapons Team/Offensive Retrofit)), can they choose an upgrade that fills more than one upgrade slot (i.e. Boarding Troopers)?

Answer: Yes. Any card may be chosen, as long as it meets the requirements for removals listed in the effect.

Reference

During the “Resolve Damage” step, if a blue or black critical icon is showing in the attack pool, you may choose and discard 1 upgrade card equipped on the targeted ship. But cannot choose a Commander, Officer, Weapons Team, Support Team, Experimental Retrofit, Fleet Command, Fleet Support, Title, or Superweapon upgrade card.

If Rapid Launch Bays is discarded by Sunder then any squadrons currently set aside that have not been placed are considered destroyed.

Even if Sunder was to discard Early Warning System, the chaff token remains and continues to obstruct all attacks until the end of the status phase when it is removed.

If Flag Bridge is discarded by Sunder , The Fleet Command card granted by the title card ability remains. It also removes the restriction of not being able to discard command tokens for the equipped Fleet Command (Meaning the Fleet Command can resolve as usual).

Sunder cannot be resolved if the ship it is equipped too has the faceup damage card Targeter Disruption.

A defending ship that spends a contain defense token and also has Damage Control Officer equipped (and not discarded) will prevent any critical effects from resolving.

A defending ship that has Commander Gherant equipped (and not discarded), the attacker cannot resolve any critical effects.
