Ship Cards
Each ship card shows, from top to bottom and left to right: hull value, anti-squadron armament, the command, squadron and engineering values, the speed chart, the defense tokens, the anti-ship armament and shield value by hull zone, and the upgrade slots along the foot of the card, followed by the points cost at bottom right.

Notes on the Ship Cards
- Neither ship card prints ability text. The ship's behaviour is set by its speed chart, defense tokens, armament, shield values and the upgrade cards below.
- The two flotillas differ only in their points cost and their armament. GR-75 Medium Transports has no battery dice in any hull zone and one black die of anti-squadron armament; GR-75 Combat Retrofits has one blue die in its front and rear hull zones and one blue die of anti-squadron armament. Hull, command, squadron, engineering, speed chart, defense tokens and shield values are the same on both.
- The scanned card does not print the ship's size as text, and no size icon is legible on the scan. The size is not transcribed.
- The "I" marks in the side boxes are printed on both cards. The scan does not explain them, and no battery dice are shown in those zones, so they are recorded as printed.
Upgrade Cards
Each upgrade card shows its name, a type icon at the bottom left (where legible), the points cost at bottom right, and the card text. Unique (ace) cards are marked with a bullet (•) before the name, as printed.

Toryn Farr

While another friendly ship or squadron at distance 1–3 is attacking, it may reroll 1 blue die.
Bright Hope

The title bar of this card also carries a small rotating-arrow icon at its top right. The card does not print it as text, and it is not the type icon, so it is not transcribed.
