Imperial Arrest Order is a Dark Effect from Endor.
Card Text
Deploy on table. Unique (•) Imperials of ability < 3 are forfeit +2. Nabrun Leids and Elis Helrot are limited to owner's move phase and exterior sites. Once during each of your deploy phases, may deploy one docking bay from Reserve Deck; reshuffle. (Immune to Alter.)
Lore
When an Imperial blockade raises the alert level, all independent ships are scanned and any suspicious characters on planet are detained and interrogated.
Strategy
By Justin Pakes, Jedi Knight[1]
Imperial Arrest Order A great defensive card with some unique multiple functions to make up for that valuable card slot you have spent.
For starters, you have an effect that can be started with using your trusty Twi'ilek Advisor. Secondly, you are putting a crimp in the mains and toys decks most no-brainer offensive weapon - Nabrun Leids. Restricting the sites and the timing of those transport actions means suddenly that Nabrun/Elis is a MOVEMENT card, not a force draining or beat down card. The Death Star never looked so safe! Now that's peace of mind. But if Light Side deploys enough to battle you anyway, add 2 to the forfeit of those Imperials who fall in the unique character midrange.
And that's not all! To make up for the fact that your movement options are a little more limited, you can get a Docking Bay from Reserve once per turn. This can be a handy way to complete Utinni's (using generic Spaceport: Docking Bays) or even just a useful destiny tracking mechanism. It's a card that's hard to do without!
Combo:
= forfeit 7.
= forfeit 7 ! And no battel damage or attrition if you have another Biker Scout there!
Rulings
- Read this as owner's move phase and any exterior sites (not as owner's move phase and owner's exterior sites).[2]
- For Nabrun and Elis, the origin site and the destination site must both be exterior (interior/exterior sites such as Death Star: Docking Bay are allowed).
