So how does escalation work with single threat group multi ships? (I don't mean spawning 2x threat level 2, I mean spawning a threat level 6 that contains 2x ships in it)

For example the double Aggressor threat level 6.

Do you have to kill both of them to get the 6 kill credit and spawn a threat level 7? or are they treated sparely and the 6 threat is divided between them.

If it's dividing the threat how do you do so with the VCX builds or the YV-666 builds?

Any ideas?

I thought about it while playing escalation for the first time yesterday and made the call that you couldn't split the ships, because there is no way to know how to split it and what the threat should be. I wonder, however, could you bring them in together when/if you need to bring in a threat level 6 "ship" because they technically are a 6. In other words, my opponent destroys my 5, can I fly in the double IG ship to be my level 6 threat?

Finally, the rules state "player wins when they destroy double the starting threat level". If your opponent flees the battle, does that ship count as you destroying it and you get the points? Fleeing is under the Destroyed section in the rules, so it's implied but not completely clear.

EDIT: Re-read the rulebook (always a good first step ? ) and noticed it said "choose one or two ships" so by that you could fly in the double IG build, but the question still stands do you have to kill them both to get the 6 points or do they split.
