Pass Tokens

A player receives one or more pass tokens at the beginning of the game if their opponent has more ships than they do. When it is a player’s turn to activate during the Ship Phase, that player may spend a pass token to pass their turn instead of activating, and it becomes their opponent’s
turn to activate a ship. When a pass token is spent, it is discarded.

Note: These rules replace the pass token rules previously published in the Super Star Destroyer expansion. A huge ship no longer receives an additional pass token as described in those rules.

Before the “Deploy Ships” step of setup, if one player has fewer total ships in their fleet, that player gains a number of pass tokens equal to the difference between their total ships and their opponent’s total ships.
If the first player has fewer ships, that player gains one fewer pass token ^[1].
