Card Text
Use 2 Force to deploy on your Star Destroyer. At the end of a battle at same system or sector, may target an opponent’s starship present (except Mon Calamari Star Cruiser) using 2 Force. Draw destiny. Target captured if destiny > defense value. Any reference to a “tractor beam” (e.g., on Out Of Commission) applies to any device with that characteristic, such as Death Star Tractor Beam.
Lore
Captures enemy vessels for boarding. When used in conjunction with an ion cannon, tractor beams can ensnare even the most maneuverable starships.
Reviews
- Jeff Hansen, "Tractor Beam", Neglected Card Series, Corellian Engineering Corporation (2000). Hansen explains that the device deploys on any Star Destroyer and, after a battle, can capture an opponent's starship (except a Mon Cal cruiser) when a destiny draw beats the target's defense value; a captured starship with no characters aboard becomes yours to use, which turns a Hidden Base swarm against itself. "Piracy at its finest!" He prefers it to the Death Star Tractor Beam for mobility and versatility.
