Discarded

Rule

Upgrade cards, damage cards, command dials, command tokens, and defense tokens can be discarded as part of the cost of an effect.

1. Defense Tokens

• When an exhausted defense token is spent, it is discarded. The player returns it to the supply.

2. Upgrade Cards

• If a ship’s upgrade card is discarded, it is flipped facedown but remains equipped for the purposes of scoring. Discarded upgrade cards count toward a player’s score when they are equipped to a destroyed enemy ship.
• When a card is discarded, its effect is no longer active in the game.

3. Command Dials

• After a ship finishes its activation, if it did not spend its command dial, that dial is discarded. It is placed faceup on the ship’s ship card and remains there until it is assigned as a new command during the next Command Phase.
• Some upgrade cards (Skilled First Officer; Support Officer) allow to discard 1 or more command dials. All discarded dials are assigned as new commands during the next Command Phase.

4. Command Tokens

• When a ship is assigned a command token, if it has more command tokens than its command value, it must immediately discard one of its command tokens.
• When a ship is assigned a command token, if it already has a copy of that command token, it must immediately discard that command token.
• The player returns a dicarded command token to the supply.

5. Raid Tokens

• When a ship with a raid token reveals command dial, it may discard that dial to discard all of its raid tokens, or it may discard a command token to discard matching raid token.

6. Damage Cards

• When a ship spends three engineering points it may choose and discard one of the ship’s faceup or facedown damage cards. The player returns it to the discarded pile.

7. Destroyed Units

• When a ship or a squadron is destroyed, remove it from the play area and place it next to the matching ship card or squadron card. Discard all damage cards to the discard pile and return all tokens and dials to the supply.
