Readied

Cards and defense tokens are readied during the Status Phase and begin the game readied. A readied card can be exhausted as part of the cost of an effect.

When an upgrade card is readied, rotate it 90° counterclockwise so that it is upright.
When a defense token is readied, flip it from its exhausted side to its readied side.
When a card or defense token is exhausted, it is no longer readied.
Some upgrade cards that can be exhausted are marked with a recur () icon next to their name and are readied during the Status Phase.
Some upgrade cards are marked with a non-recur () icon next to their name. These cards do not ready during the Status Phase unless the owning player pays the cost to ready that card.
If both players can pay to ready cards during the Status Phase, they take turns readying one card at a time, starting with the first player, until one player has no more cards to ready.
While an upgrade card that is not marked with the recur icon or non-recur icon is exhausted, that card is treated as if it has the recur icon and is readied during the Status Phase.
- This includes upgrade cards printed prior to the introduction of the Galactic Republic and Separatist Alliance factions, which are not marked with either icon ^[1].
