Choosing figure to apply focus

By seveneves, in Legends of the Alliance

Just starting to play the app and came across the bonus for Imperial Officers: "before this activation the highest cost Imperial figure (that is not focused) becomes focused"

How do you decide which figure to focus if you have more than one to choose from?

Thanks

Choose whichever situation you think would be best for Imperials/worst for Rebels.

Legends of the Alliance Rulebook, pg 14:

THE IMPERIAL RULE

When resolving activation instructions, players frequently have
multiple options that satisfy the instructions. When this happens,
players should follow the Imperial rule, which means always
choosing the option that is most punishing for the players.

Ah yes the Imperial Rule. I thought there may have been some kind of mechanism that I was missing. Thanks for the reply.
