Nexus Ops
Does a dragon's plasma breath count as a battle, and can the hit hex defend against it?
The rulebook says special attacks at the end of movement do not start a battle, and its example has the owner pick the casualty.

No. Breath is an end-of-movement special attack, not a battle, so no unit can defend against it and it earns no Battle Victory card. The owner of the hit hex chooses which of its units are lost.
