TIE Attack Squadron and Fate Cards

By dj9091, in Star Wars: The Card Game - Rules Questions

The TIE Attack Squadron text reads "During any engagement in which you have place at least one fate card in your edge stack, this unit gains "unit damage" and targeted strike".

If the Dark Side places a Fate card that cancels the edge battle, does this count to make the TIE Attack Squadron work for the engagement even if in the follow-up edge battle the Dark Side does NOT play anther fate card? Or does the "cancel" card provide the effect that the edge battle never took place and thus would ot count for the TIE Attack Squadron text?

Thanks!

FAQ page 7, First Question:

If I have a TIE Attack Squadron (Core 147) in a battle and
I place a Twist of Fate (Core 0157 or 0171) but no other
Fate cards in my edge stack, does the TIE Attack Squadron
gain the bonus icon and targeted strike keyword?

Yes. The TIE Attack Squadron’s passive ability checks
whether or not you have placed any Fate cards into
any of your edge stacks during an edge battle this
engagement. Even if those Fate cards are canceled (by
an opponent’s Twist of Fate), or if the resolution of the
Edge Battle is canceled (by your own Twist of Fate), a
Fate card has still been placed, and you would still gain
the bonus icon and targeted strike keyword.

Dang...can't believe this was the FIRST question in the FAQ...ah well. Thanks!!
