## FAQ

Q: Does the Yin Brotherhood agent, Brother Milor, keep combat going after the last ship is destroyed?

A: Yes.

Q: Can the Yin Brotherhood commander, Brother Omar, or the Naalu Collective commander, M’aban, allow the player to choose to produce only 1 infantry/fighter and then another with their commander?

A: Yes, both of these commanders allow the player to choose to only build a single fighter/infantry for 1 resource and gain an additional unit of that type each time they do.

A: No. "Start of Combat" abilities occur before the Anti-fighter barrage step.

A: Brother Milor Omega can only be used during the action phase.

Q: What is the interaction between the Yin Brotherhood agent, Brother Milor Omega, and the Nekro Virus and Naalu Collective flagship abilities?
