During the “Production” step of a tactical action, the active player can resolve the “Production” ability of each of their units that are in the active system to produce units. 
A unit’s “Production” ability, which is presented on a faction sheet or unit upgrade technology card, is always followed by a value. This value is the maximum number of units that this unit can produce 
*If the active player has multiple units in the active system that have the “Production” ability, that player can produce a number of units up to the combined total of their units’ production values in that system
*When producing fighters or infantry, each individual unit counts toward the producing unit’s production limit
*A player can choose to produce one fighter or infantry instead of two, but must still pay the entire cost
*“Production” value from Arborec space docks cannot be used to produce infantry, even if the Arborec player controls other units that have “Production” in the same system
When a player produces ships by using “Production”, that player must place them in the active system. 
When a player produces ground forces, that player must place those units on planets that contain a unit that used its “Production” ability.
If a player uses the “Production” ability of a unit in a space area of a system to produce ground forces, those ground forces may either be placed on a planet the player controls in that system or in the space area of that system
If a player places a ground force in the space area of a system, it cannot exceed that player’s capacity in that system
A player cannot produce a unit on a planet they do not control
If an ability allows a player to produce a unit in a system, they may produce that unit in the space area or on a planet they control in that system
