Kannan Jarus from the new Ghost preview removes a stress "After a friendly ship at range 1-2 executes a white maneuver". A couple questions:

Is range checked only after the ship executes its maneuver? For example, a friendly ship starts a white maneuver at range 3 and ends it at range 1. I assume Kannan can be used there. If a friendly ship starts a white maneuver at range 1 and ends it at range 3, he can't trigger?

My other question is about timing. Say a friendly ship (or the ship carrying Kannan) uses Daredevil. It reads "Execute a white (Left Turn 1) or (Right Turn 1) maneuver. Then, receive 1 stress token." My most literal reading would be: The ship executes a white maneuver. Immediately afterwards, Kannan could trigger, but there's no stress yet. Then you move on to the next step of Daredevil, which is to gain stress. So Kannan couldn't remove the stress from Daredevil right after it happens. Does that sound right, or is the timing more flexible than that?

I think if it was based on final position it would read something like "after a ship executes a white maneuver, if it is at range 1-2 remove a stress token from it".

With Daredevil you execute the maneuver. Kannan's ability kicks in because a maneuver was executed but there is no stress yet.

I would interpret that as they have to START at Range 1-2, then they remove the stress AFTER they move regardless of how far away they are.

I love that it doesn't say "other ships", thus it works on his own ship. Nice!

The card clearly states it triggers after a frie dly ship executes a maneuver, so that is when you check range

Does it make the whites operate like greens? Or have you still lost your actions?

Since the Stress is removed before Perform Action you will get to do actions.

It doesn't say after you reveal a white move, so I would think you measure after you have executed the white move..

So, after extensive reading this card, and having two degrees in the English language... This is actually not as clear as it should be.

The word "executes," as opposed to "has executed," strongly implies that the measuring is done pre-move. Of course, the fact that the card states that it triggers "after... ...executes a white maneuver" makes that conclusion a bit muddy.

This is going to need to hit the FAQ almost immediately, there are just so many BETTER ways to word the card and make it 100% clear, without taking up more/much more space.

It could be better worded. But the rule book says this.

When a ship executes a maneuver, it is picked up from its starting position and placed in its final position. The full width of the ship’s base is ignored except in its starting and final positions.

That means until it's been placed at the other end of the template, it hasn't performed a maneuver. So you wouldn't check for range until that point, meaning yes it can move out of range of Kanan's ability.

That however doesn't mean they won't FAQ it some other way.

That's the confusing part. It not clear at all. I'm guessing the intention was measure AFTER move but the wording implies BEFORE. We'll see when the FAQ comes out...

I think "executes" is used to keep it in present tense as opposed to past tense. If it was worded "has executed", it could leave it open for any ship that has made a white maneuver during the entire Activation phase. By using the word "executes", it narrows it down to the active ship.

I think it's actually pretty clear. A ship executes a white maneuver which triggers Kanan. Now check for range, and if it's at Range 1-2, remove a stress token.

There's no implication that I can see that you measure range before the maneuver, because the card says "after".

So it is confirmed that this can work on the ship that Kanan is crewing?

That part is definitely correct, yes; it doesn't say 'another' friendly ship, which would limit it from working on the ship he's riding in. It just says 'a friendly ship' which by FAQ, includes the ship he's on.

So yes, it works on the ship he's on, and is very, very nice in particular for SuperDash.
