Notes
- Decipher Glossary Version 2.0 Errata. Side-by-side faces: Errata.
Rulings
- Whether fired during battle or at another time, the target starship is armor/maneuver and hyperspeed = 0 until it leaves play (or until something makes it 'restored to normal').[1]
- Weapons aboard the starship are only lost as a one-time response to the Cannon firing. Weapons can subsequently be deployed on the starship without becoming lost.
