Federation Commander

Is the orion medium raider a legal tournament ship? It was published in the communique but it has rules about the ship codified in the 5th and 6th edition rules.

I think the rule was that only published, laminated ship cards could be used. (Briefing #1 ships were allowed, but they were all formally published as laminated cards in Booster 92.) Communique ships were formally excluded. However, the Orion MR will be published in Reinforcements Attack, so that will definitely make the ship available.

So, it will be available well in time for Origins and the related tournaments. If you have a tournament earlier, you can always ask if the tournament organizer will allow it a little early, as it will be in Reinforcements Attack.

Current plan is to release it on 14 Jan but one tiny glitch in CapLog art may make us delay all seven products from the January release package by one week.
