- Return Step: Move all Units from all Battle Areas to their respective Disposition Areas in Roll position.

 Hand
Draw card -moving the Top Card of your Nation or Lost Card Pile to your Hand. Unless specified otherwise, you will always draw from your Nation. If the number of cards is stated, draw that amount in order.
The term "All" -"All of your Hand" will refer to all the cards in your Hand. "All Hands" will refer to all cards in both Your Hand and Enemy players Hand.

 Hangar
Hangar is a place where cards will be placed via effects. Its not included in the game's locations. There may be cases when Enemy player puts cards (where Enemy player is the original Owner of that card) in the Hangar. Cards in the Hangar are put face-up, and the player Managing that Hangar can play cards from there going through the same process when playing from Hand. Cards in Hangar will only be affected by effects that target Hangar.
- Playing cards in Hangar: When a card in Hangar comes out onto the Field, normally, the card will be put out onto the Disposition Area of the player that played the card (regardless of who the original owner is). And when a Command is being played from Hangar, or when cards in Hangar are moved from Hangar to other locations (other than Field and other Hangars), those cards will move to the Original Owner's location.
- Differences between Hand and Hangar: Cards in Hangar cannot be used for effects that require said cards to be in Hand. eg. Cards in Hangar cannot be used for multiple Costs, or Change.


 G and Nation Power

 Basic G and Special G
Basic Gs are Gs with "(Auto A: Give 1 (color) Nation Power)" as the only text on it regardless of the name of the G. Even if the Basic G is treated as another additional card type, or text is added/changed, it will be treated as a Basic G as long as it is a G.
Special Gs are all other Gs that are not included in the above example. If a card, whose Original Card Type is not a G, is treated as a G, it will be handled as a Special G.

 Nation Power and types of Basic G
There are 7 types of Nation Power: Blue, Green, Black, Red, Brown, White and the special type Purple. When referring to a specific type in card text, it will be done in the following way "Blue Nation Power/Green Nation Power" etc.
Basic Gs are divided into 6 types according to the Nation Power they give (there is no Basic Purple G). When referring to a type of Basic G in card text, if for a Basic G that gives Blue, it will be known as "Blue Basic G", and so on for other colors. This way of differenciation will not change even if the Nation Power given is changed.

 Purple Nation Power
Purple Nation Power cannot be used to pay for any Designated Nation Cost other than Purple. Purple's Designated Nation Cost can be paid using any other color. However, if the Designated Nation Cost is more than 2, 1 of the Nation Power types have to be more than or equal to that amount.
Eg. For 2 Purple Designated Nation Cost, you can pay it using 2 Green. However it cannot be paid if you only have 1 Green and 1 Red.
