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').
• 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.
