What is a token type, in relation to Amilyn Holdo ?

Is a focus the same type as a reinforce ?

Or is every possible token it's own type ?

Before you engage, you may choose another friendly ship at range 1-2. You may transfer to that ship 1 token of a type that ship does not have. That ship may transfer 1 token to you of a type you do not have.

Your third question has the answer. The only tokens you cannot swap are those used as reminders... ie condition or crit tokens.

TLDR: Another token of the same type is identical, ergo a token of a different type is any other token as identified by the token's shape, color, image, and name. Read on for more in depth:

An excellent question, which also applies to Petty Officer Thanisson:

When he was first shown, the community consensus quickly agreed that each token is its own type (Focus is a type, evade is a type, stress is a type, etc.) And moved on to a heated argument about what happens if you tried to give the target another Lock token. FFG eventually answered in the "Official Rulings" thread ( link here ) where they said that an "additional token of the same type" in the case of a lock means another Lock token with the same number. Although the Rules Reference does not define what "token type" means; it does reference different types in the sections for Reinforce, where it says what happens if a ship has more than one of the same type (RR1.0.4 p.15), and Inflict , where it says there are special weapons that specify the number and type of token the target gains (p.12). Using the above admittedly obscure info the answers to the OP questions should be clear.

1. Each token identified in the Rules Reference is a distinct token type.

2. No, also note that Fore Reinforce is a different token from Aft Reinforce (side note: even if you have both Fore and Aft Reinforce you do not get the effect against Flanking enemies on the line between front and back.)

3. Yes, including each different Lock number.
