Ion Tokens

Some card abilities, such as the "Ion Cannon Turret" Upgrade card, can cause a ship to receive an ion token. A ship is ionized while it has an ion token assigned to it. A ship with an ion token assigned to it follows special rules during these phases: Since an ionized ship is not assigned a maneuver dial, it is not treated as revealing a maneuver during the Activation phase.
 * Planning Phase: The owner does not assign a maneuver dial to this ship.
 * Activation Phase: The owner moves the ship as if it were assigned a white maneuver, remove all ion tokens from the ship. It may perform actions as normal.
 * Combat Phase: The ship may attack as normal.
