"While you perform an attack, you may choose another friendly ship at range 0-1 of the defender."

Is this "another friendly ship" friendly to you or friendly to the defender?

The wording, "a friendly ship" or "another friendly ship" is used from the standpoint of you. In the case of RUTHLESS, it allows you to do damage to one of your ships in order to change one of your attack dice to a hit on the defender of the attack.

As an example you have two Tie fighters against an X-wing. One of your Ties has bumped the X-wing and you attack with the other. You roll a hit and a blank. You can damage the Tie overlapping the X-wing to change the blank to another hit. Note that this happens in the Attacker modifies attack dice step before defense dice are rolled so the defender (X-wing) can still avoid both hits.

As only a 1-point card that's what I was thinking. Thank you.
