   Differences between Own Player and Enemy Player

 Control and Controller
The right to use each card (playing of effects, Sorting out etc.) is known as Control, and the player who has that Control is know as the Controller. The Controller will follow the rules below:
- Cards on Field: The player who's managing the Disposition Area or Squad the card is currently at will be the Controller.
- Cards in Hand/Hangar: Neither player has Control. However the player managing the respective Hand/Hangar has the right to play the cards.
- Cards in Nation, Lost Card Pile and Junkyard: Neither player has Control. Cards will move automatically according to rules.

 Original Owner
This refers to the player who put the card in the Deck. When referring to the "Original Owner's Nation" etc, this is referring to the Nation thats being managed by the card's Original Owner.

 Differences between Own Player and Enemy Player
- Player: you refer to yourself as "Own Player", the other player as "Enemy Player"
- Turn, Phase, Step: "Your Turn" is referring to the turn where you attack, and "enemy's Turn" is the Turn where you Defend. Likewise for Phases and Steps.
- Locations(field): "Own/Enemy Nation/Disposition Area etc." is referring to the Player managing that respective location. Only your Hand will be referred to as "Hand", although there are cases when differenciation is needed and in that case it will be referred to as "Your Hand". Neither player controls the Battle Area.
- Cards on Field: Differenciated as "Own cards" "Enemy cards" depending on who's the controller of the cards. Same goes for Units etc.
- Cards that are in locations other than Field: Cards that are in Nation, Lost Card Pile, Junkyard, Hand or Hangar are not to be referred as "own/enemy cards". Cards that are being played are referred to as "own/enemy cards" depending on the player that played the cards.
- Squad: Squads that are made up of your/enemy Units are known respectively as own/enemy Squad.
- Effect: "Own/Enemy effects" will depend on who's the player to play the card effect (Control of that card's activation does not matter). However effects that cannot be activated by own will (Auto effects) will be treated as "Own/Enemy effects" depending on who's the controller of the card.
- Coin: Treated as "Own/Enemy coin" depending on who's managing the coin.
