Can Observer, as an ally, lose ships outside the encounter to Grudge or Wild Void?

A designer addressed this directly in the forum.

No. As an ally, Observer must protect all of his ships, inside or outside the encounter, by returning them to his colonies (like Zombie). The designer first said this also lets him use Wild Void without losing a ship, but he later questioned that Zombie-style exemption (see the Zombie entry), so treat the Wild Void part as unsettled. The FAQ answer should have said 'must', not 'may'.
