Reference Cards
Ion Token
Reference card.
This card explains the rules for an ion token and serves as a reference to remind players of its effect.
Some card abilities, such as the "Ion Cannon Turret" Upgrade card, can cause a ship to receive an ion token. A ship with an ion token assigned to it follows special rules during these phases:
- Planning Phase: The owner does not assign a maneuver dial to this ship.
- Activation Phase: The owner moves the ship as if it were assigned a white (↑1) maneuver. After executing this maneuver, remove all ion tokens from the ship. It may perform actions as normal.
- Combat Phase: The ship may attack as normal.
Modifications and Titles
Reference card.
This card explains the rules for Modification and Title cards. These Upgrade cards can be identified by their card backs.
Modifications and titles are special upgrades that do not appear in any ship's upgrade bar. Any ship may equip a modification or title unless the card is restricted to a specific type of ship. Each ship is limited to one modification and one title.
