Slayn & Korpil Facilities is a Light Effect from Special Edition.
Card Text
Deploy on Roche system. Once during each of your deploy phases, you may deploy a starship weapon from Reserve Deck on your B-wing; reshuffle. Also, retrieve 2 Force whenever your starfighter or vehicle 'hits' an opponent's starship or vehicle. (Immune to Alter.)
Lore
Based in the Roche Asteroid Field. Worked with Admiral Ackbar to develop the B-wing fighter. Verpine owned, and that means quality.
Joke
"…owned, and that means quality" has the ring of an advertising slogan, as if the B-wing's makers were selling cars. Real advertising used the same form: the 1953 Old Spice jingle has "'Old Spice means quality,' said the Captain to the Bosun",[1] and a 1952 Alligator coat advertisement says "It's Alligator, of course, and that means quality."[2] Later ads used it too: a 1976 Buick ad ("Regal is a Buick. And that means quality.")[3] and a 1987 Trane ad ("it's made by Trane. And that means quality.").[4] See Jokes.
