Research evidence

Original researched interpretation; balance requires playtesting. Generic portraits are not canonical likenesses. Ability packages do not automatically grant SPAs or SCAs.

Documented · medium confidence: Espinosa’s Directorate fields heavy forces and receives Taurian support before that alliance collapses. Sources: house-arano-the-aurigan-coalition

Inference · medium confidence: The cards portray an ordinary loyalist command, not an automatic supply or reinforcement entitlement. Original larger-force Armored Pressure interpretation. Exact priority rankings, transitions, initiative sequencing, support spending and regrouping thresholds are authored choices, not published faction rules. Sources: house-arano-the-aurigan-coalition, aces

Inference · high confidence: The local SPA/SCA and any published subcommand abilities are thematic research references only. No abilities, equipment, support, salvage, rewards or political effects are automatically granted. Sources: hotspots-local, aces
