Anti-Fighter Barrage (2x9)

The Destroyer unit, although not as powerful in combat as its larger cousin, the Cruiser, is a fast, inexpensive, and versatile weapon that can deliver a lethal blow to any enemy fleet that relies too heavily on Fighters. They also serve as good “patrol” units when placed in border systems between opponents, preventing movement through empty territory.

THE DESTROYER ANTI-FIGHTER BARRAGE
Before a Space Battle begins, each Destroyer unit (both attacking and defending) may roll two combat dice. For every result equal to or higher than the Destroyer's combat value (normally a 9), the opponent must immediately destroy one Fighter unit. Fighters destroyed in this way are removed before the Space Battle begins and do not receive return fire. Note that the Destroyer unit’s special barrage is only fired once before the actual Space Battle begins, and not before every Space Battle round.
