Maybe someone has already answered this, but I haven't found it yet. Last night I was flying against my friend and this question popped up. After 20 minutes of searching, we decided to just move on. I was flying Dengar with Punishing One, Dengar and R5-P8. His Tie-Defender attacked me from just outside Dengars primary arc. In that situation, would I still have been able to use R5-P8's ability? I'm still pretty new to X-Wing, so I'm not 100% of all the rules for Dengar and whatnot. Anything helps, thanks!

Yup, you still get to use the bot. Number one rule of X-Wing: just do what the card says. R5-P8 doesn't say it's an attack, it doesn't mention being in arc, nothing; it's just "after defending."

Dengar is in this sentance twice, was he in your list twice? That would be illigal; you can't have two cards with the same unique name in your squad.

Unique being indicated by the dot to the left of the card name.
