Admiral Raddus

"Before deploying fleets, you may set aside 1 other friendly ship. At the start of any round, you may deploy that ship at distance 1 of a friendly ship. That ship cannot be deployed overlapping squadrons and cannot be the first ship to activate that round."

Can I ram another ship after coming out of hyperspace? The only two restrictions on the card are that 1) the ship must be deployed at distance 1 of a friendly ship and 2) cannot overlap squadrons.

I'm guessing you can't, and I don't see how this plays out practically. On the other hand the text doesn't explicitly rule out the possibility of doing so, and it would be awfully cool to punch your opponent's ship in the face with Garel's Honor coming out of hyperspace.

How can you ram if you're not moving?

I get it. You technically can't ram if you execute a maneuver. It's just a bit counter intiutive with the way the card is written in light of what a ship is actually doing in hyperspace. Moving at an incredibly high rate of speed.

Yep, but that's in hyperspace.

Not in real space :D

I mean, even in the (canon) fiction, the movement of entering or exiting Hyperspace is referred to as a " flicker of pseudomotion" , rather than actual motion.

The closest we're going to see to actual being damage being done by hyperspacing is coming up in the next season of Rebels, if the previews are to go by.

Even Devestator completely transits to real space before the GR75 Bug-on-Windshields it.

Easily my favorite moment in that movement. Hands down.
