Advanced Gunnery | Assault | After deploying fleets, each player chooses 1 of his ships to be an objective ship, starting with the first player. |
The first player's objective ship may perform each of its attacks from the same hull zone. It cannot target the same hull zone or squadron more than once each round with that hull zone.
The second player's objective ship may perform each of its attacks from the same hull zone, and it may do so against the same target. |
The fleet point cost of a destroyed objective ship is doubled. Do not double the cost of its upgrade cards. | -- | |
|
Blockade Run | Assault | The 3' edges of the play area become the player edges. Each player's deployment zone is within 2 range ruler lengths of his edge. The second player places all obstacles. Obstacles must be placed beyond 2 range ruler lengths of both player edges, and beyond distance 1 of other obstacles. |
The second player assigns 1 objective token to each of his ships.
When a ship with an objective token is destroyed, the first player gains 1 victory token. |
The second player gains 1 victory token for each ship with an objective token within the first player's deployment zone. | 20 | |
|
Close-Range Intel Scan | Assault | Place obstacles, adding the 2 dust fields, as normal. |

Ion Storm | Assault | The second player places all obstacles, excluding the station beyond distance 5 of player edges. |
When a ship without an objective token ends its movement beyond distance 1 of any obstacles, assign 1 objective token to that ship. If that ship belongs to the second player, it must be beyond distance 1-2 of any obstacles. When a ship resolves a  command, it may discard its objective token.
Each ship has the following critical effect:
 : If the defender has an objective token, the attacking ship's owner gains 1 victory token. Then choose and discard 1 command token from the defender. If the defender does not have any command tokens, the defending hull zone loses 1 shield instead. |

Rift Assault | Assault | Place obstacles as normal, excluding the station and adding the gravity rift. |
While a ship is attacking, if the defender is beyond distance 1 of any obstacles and the defender does not have an objective token, the attacker can spend 1 die to assign an objective token to the defender. Then, the attacker's owner gains 1 victory token. While a ship with an objective token is defending, during the Resolve Attack Effects step, the attacker can discard that objective token to change 1 die to a face with a  icon or 1 icon and no other icons. If the attacker belongs to the second player, it can change 1 die to a face with any icon. |
Each ship at distance 1-2 of the gravity rift that is at speed-1 or lower suffers 1 facedown damage card. | 10 | |

The first player gains 1 victory token for each unarmed station that is destroyed. | 40 | |
|
Surprise Attack | Assault | The second player places the station at distance 1-5 of the first player's player edge. Then, place the remaining obstacles as normal. While deploying fleets, the first player must deploy their flagship before deploying any other ships, and must deploy their flagship overlapping the station, but it can be beyond their deployment zone. The first player cannot deploy any ship at a speed greater than half of that ship's maximum speed (rounded up). After deploying fleets, the second player places 3 facedown command dials in a stack on this card. | At the start of the Ship Phase during the first, second, and third rounds, the second player reveals the top command dial on this card, and each of the first player's ships gains a raid token matching that dial. | -- | ||

Targeting Beacons | Assault | After placing obstacles, the players alternate placing a total of 4 objective tokens in the setup area, starting with the second player. | While one of the second player's ships is attacking a ship that is at distance 1-2 of an objective token, the attacker may reroll up to 2 attack dice in the attack pool. | -- | ||
|
Abandoned Mining Facility | Defense | The second player places the station in the center of the setup area. Then, starting with the second player, the players alternate placing the remaining obstacles, adding the 2 purrgil and 2 dust field obstacles and excluding the asteroid fields, at distance 2-5 of the station. After deploying fleets, each of the second players' ships gains a Q token. |
Each ship can resolve the
following effect:
Q: You may spend engineering points to gain
victory tokens from 1 obstacle. If you are at
distance 1 of a station, gain 1 token for each 3
points you spend. If you are at distance 1 of a
dust field, gain 1 token for each 2 points you
spend. Then, if that obstacle is a dust field
and you gained more than 1 victory token,
remove that obstacle from the play area. When a ship with the objective token on its ship card is destroyed, the opposing player places the objective token in the play area touching the destroyed ship's base. |

Fighter Ambush | Defense |
Before deploying fleets, the second player sets aside all of his squadrons. After deploying fleets, the second player deploys all of his squadrons. Each of his squadrons can be placed as normal or at distance 1 of an obstacle, but all his squadrons must be beyond distance 5 of the first player's edge. |
After a squadrons performs an attack against a ship, if the defender was dealt at least 1 damage card, the squadron's owner gains 1 victory token. | 15 | ||
|
Fire Lanes | Defense | After placing obstacles, the second player places three objective tokens in the setup area beyond distance 4 of both players edges. Then the first player may move each objective token to within distance 1-2 of its current location. | Each player gains one victory token for each objective token he controls. To determine control of each token, players measure attack range and line of sight from each of their ships hull zones as if performing attacks with battery armaments targetting that objective token. The player with the highest total number of dice in his combined attack pools controls that token. If a players ship or squadron overlaps an objective token, his opponent controls that token; if both players ships or squadrons overlap the same token, neither player controls it. | 15 | ||
|
Fleet Ambush | Defense |
The portion of the setup area that is beyond distance 5 of any edge of the setup area is the AMBUSH ZONE. Players mark the corners of the ambush zone with objective tokens.
Players take turns deploying fleets as normal, but must deploy all ships before deploying any squadrons. The first player must deploy ships within the ambush zone on his odd-numbered deployment turns, starting with his first turn. He cannot deploy ships or squadrons overlapping obstacles in the ambush zone. After setup is complete, he removes all objective tokens from the play area. |

|
Doomed Station | Navigation | The second player places the gravity rift in the center of the setup area. Then, starting with the first player, the players alternate placing the remaining obstacles, excluding the station in the setup area beyond distance 1 of all obstacles and beyond distance 5 of both player's edges. |
Starting with the second player and alternating, each player chooses 1 obstacle that does not have an objective token on it and moves it to (sic) within distance 1-2 of its current location toward the gravity rift (which cannot be chosen). Then that player places an objective token on that obstacle. When an obstacle touches the gravity rift, that obstacle is removed from the play area.
After all obstacles are moved, each player sums the command values of their ships at distance 1 of the station. The player with the highest total gains 1 victory token. Then remove all objectives tokens from the play area. |
