Why does the T-47 Airspeeder have both Armor and Cover 1? Cover 1 seems redundant with Armor in place. Cover 1 would remove a hit, but Armor already removes all of them since only critical hits get through Armor. Has there been some kind of special ruling on Cover 1 for the T-47 Airspeeder and I just missed it?

Thanks!

It’s important when Impact is involved, due to the order of operations.

Cover and dodge removes hits before Impact converts them to crits, so it could potentially save you from a few points of damage.

I'll put you an example to clarify further:
- Vader throws his lightsaber to the T-47, throwing 3 red dice with impact 3.
- He rolled 3 normal hits and the first you must do is apply dodge and cover, so you remove one of those dice because of Cover 1
- The remaining 2 hits are converted to crits because of Impact

So as you can see, the cover 1 already prevented you 1 possible damage

Makes sense now. Thanks!
