Incoming Message: Attack Authorization

Uncommon card from Alternate Universe (1995)

On several occasions, for purposes of Federation security, Starfleet Command has reluctantly or mistakenly ordered captains to attack certain enemy or rogue ships.

Plays on any Federation ship. If Treachery aboard, "This ship must immediately attack one ship (your choice) at this location," May ignore if V.I.P. aboard.

Rule notes

Official Runlings:

If you use this interrupt to attack your own ship when using a Battle Bridge side deck, you may draw and use a current tactic. The single current tactic applies to both the attacking and defending ships. However, if either of your ships is damaged, damage is applied as usual from your opponent's Battle Bridge side deck (or rotation damage if he has no side deck). See battle - ship.
