Card Text
Deploy on table. During the power segment of a battle, may use X Force to reduce a starship's immunity to attrition by X for remainder of turn. Once per turn, may use 2 Force to cancel the game text of a [Maintenance] character or a non-[Theed Palace] senator for remainder of turn.
Lore
Imperial pilots often target astromechs aboard Rebel starfighters in an attempt to prevent hyper-escapes. Scarcity of undamaged astromechs can delay starfighter deployment.
Errata
This is errata version PC-E1 of Astromech Shortage (V); it is the current text. No published image shows this text, so the image here is a CardMaker recreation of it (File:VB1-31-Astromech_Shortage-PC-E1-cardmaker.png, made 9 November 2026). The Players Committee card image (File:VB1-D-astromechshortage-pre.gif) and the release-sheet slip (File:VB1-31-Astromech_Shortage.png) show the original text (see Astromech Shortage (V)).
- Original (Astromech Shortage (V)): text as given in the Virtual Block 1 release sheet (official text as of 7 December 2009), slip 31: “Deploy on table. During the power segment of a battle, may use X Force to reduce a starship's immunity to attrition by X for remainder of turn. Once per turn, may use 2 Force to cancel the game text of a [Maintenance] character or a senator for remainder of turn.”[1] The PC website card list (shown there by 21 July 2012, the earliest archived capture with text, and in every capture to 11 January 2013) shows the same text.[2]
- PC-E1 (this page): The Players Committee Virtual Cards Master List (official text as of 27 April 2013, slip marked E) changed “a senator” to “a non-[Theed Palace] senator”: “Deploy on table. During the power segment of a battle, may use X Force to reduce a starship's immunity to attrition by X for remainder of turn. Once per turn, may use 2 Force to cancel the game text of a [Maintenance] character or a non-[Theed Palace] senator for remainder of turn.”[3]
