Modification.
When you reveal a command, you may exhaust this card to choose 1 of your hull zones and mark it with a focus token. While attacking a ship from that hull zone, add 1 die of any color from an adjacent hull zone’s armament to your attack pool. While attacking from adjacent hull zones, remove 1 die from your attack pool. When you ready this card, remove that focus token.

Timing
This Upgrade Card resolves in several stages. The first part takes place when you reveal a command; at this time you mark a hull zone with a Focus token. The second part takes place while attacking, depending on the hull zone conducting the attack. A die is added during the “Resolve Attack Effects” step, while a die is removed after gathering the attack pool but before rolling.
Clarifications
If you do not reveal a command dial, you cannot exhaust this Upgrade Card nor place a Focus token.
When this ship is attacking another ship from a hull zone marked with a Focus token, during the “Resolve Attack Effects” step, you can add 1 die of a color that is present in an adjacent hull zone’s battery armament to your attack pool.
For example, a black die could be chosen to be added to an attack, regardless of range, if that die is in an adjacent hull zone’s battery armament.
When this ship is attacking another ship or squadron from a hull zone adjacent to the hull zone with a Focus token, after you gather dice but before rolling your initial attack pool, remove 1 die. This includes any attacks made by card effects such as Ordnance Pods or Quad Laser Turrets if you choose to use the effect from a hull zone adjacent to one with the Focus token. Because this die is removed before the attack pool is rolled, an attack consisting of a single die will be cancelled.
Salvo attacks from a hull zone adjacent to a hull zone with a Focus token must have a die removed as well, as they originate from the defending hull zone.
Upgrade Card Interactions
Dice added by an upgrade card that increases battery armament in a hull zone are eligible to be added to an adjacent hull zone via a Focus token.
