In our campaign, one player on a team wants to drop a unique squadron in the Add or Remove Forces step so that another player on that team can choose that same unique person as an officer card from a reward in a future battle (after playing a campaign objective at an officer location or picking a base reward). Is the unique card locked to that player for that campaign, or is this allowed?

The only relevant rules I can find are:

• Page 12 a team can't have more than 1 copy of a card with a unique name
• Page 18 retiring a fleet drops unique upgrades/squadrons and can't be added by any player

I'm not sure if I'm missing an exact rule on this but I couldn't find one. It "feels" like the unique name is locked to the first player that picks it but I don't see where it clarifies that one way or another. Anybody know what the correct ruling on this would be?

I do not think it is expressly stated in the rules, but we would likely treat it as “lost” for the side if it was sold (similar to retiring the fleet).

Thanks for the comment Aahz, anyone else know if this is allowed or not?
