How does threat work in the Status Phase, and can it exceed 20?

Each Status Phase the Imperial player adds the mission's Threat Level from the campaign log (a fixed per-round income, separate from the threat counter) plus any mission-specific gains, which stack. The counter starts each mission at 0, and he may then spend threat on optional deployment and reinforcement. Threat cannot go below 0 or above 20, and an ability costing more threat than he has cannot be used.
