Command

Rule

A ship can resolve the effect of a command by spending a command dial and/or command token with the matching icon at the appropriate time. The effect of the command is based on which component was spent.

Types of Command

Navigate Command

Squadron Command

Repair Command

Concentrate Fire Command

Special Rules

A ship cannot resolve the same command more than once per round.
A ship can spend both a command dial and a command token to combine their effects. Doing so counts as a single resolution of the command. For example, a ship can increase its speed twice by spending a command dial and a command token.
A player can resolve numerous commands in the same round, such as by spending a command token and a command token during the “Reveal Command Dial” step of activation, and then spending a command dial during the “Determine Course” step of movement.
A ship can resolve a command and choose not to produce its effect. It still counts as resolving that command, such as for the purpose of triggering upgrade cards.*
