	===Advantage & Disadvantage===		===Advantage & Disadvantage===
	Advantage & Disadvantage represent factors that strongly affect the conduct of a battle. A field of asteroids, for example, may offer cover against enemy fire or frustrate an assault. Careful analysis of an enemy formation might reveal a major gap in the formation. Characters can both identify, overcome, and neutralize Advantages & Disadvantages.		Advantage & Disadvantage represent factors that strongly affect the conduct of a battle. A field of asteroids, for example, may offer cover against enemy fire or frustrate an assault. A well-aimed volley of missiles might disperse the field. Careful analysis of an enemy formation might reveal a major gap in the formation. However, that gap may actually be the bait for a minefield. Characters can both identify, overcome, and neutralize Advantages & Disadvantages.

	Characters can Identify an Advantage on a successful roll. The difficulty is affected by its scope and permanence. Scope in this case means who and what is affected; an Advantage that covers an entire Fleet is a much bigger deal than one which covers only a single element. Permanence is the length the effect lasts.		Characters can Identify an Advantage on a successful roll. The difficulty is affected by its scope and permanence.

	===Advantage & Disadvantage===		===Advantage & Disadvantage===
	Advantage & Disadvantage represent ~~momentary~~ or ~~longer lasting phenomena~~ that . ~~Applied~~ to the ~~plan~~		Advantage & Disadvantage represent factors that strongly affect the conduct of a battle. A field of asteroids, for example, may offer cover against enemy fire or frustrate an assault. Careful analysis of an enemy formation might reveal a major gap in the formation. Characters can both identify, overcome, and neutralize Advantages & Disadvantages.

			Characters can Identify an Advantage on a successful roll. The difficulty is affected by its scope and permanence. Scope in this case means who and what is affected; an Advantage that covers an entire Fleet is a much bigger deal than one which covers only a single element. Permanence is the length the effect lasts.

			The simplest kind of advantage or disadvantage is a transient one turn single-sided effect that is only relevant to one Element.

			Overcoming a Disadvantage or neutralizing an enemy Advantage works on similar terms.

			===Melee===
			Groups locked in Melee can not be affected by Attack or Support actions. At the end of the Round, the tokens will do flat firepower damage to each other. Groups that enter the Broken state are automatically Overrun. Melees continue until one side has broken or broken contact.

			The Element attempts to close the distance between it and its opposite as quickly as possible. Each success locks a token on either side in a Melee.
