Initiative: Initiative determines the order of Attack in an Engagement Round and is determined by totaling the number of Initiative Symbols on the Blueprint of each Ship type. Initiative ties between opponents are resolved in favor of the Defender (you choose the order of Attack for your Ships that are tied for Initiative).

Initiative Example (Above): The Red Interceptor's Initiative is 4: 2 for the Ship's Initiative Bonus +2 for the Initiative Symbols on the Fusion Drive. The Blue Dreadnought's Initiative is 3: 0 for the Ship's Initiative Bonus +1 +1 +1 for the three Nuclear Drives.
