Resources spent on a failed action or reaction by a deployed card
Ruling issued on November 19th 2024

Situation:
I have the Terran structure Overseer Station in play. I activate its second action, which requires me to spend resources and destroy the Overseer Station in order to deploy a ship. An opponent uses a reaction, causing the Overseer Station's action to fail. Do I have to spend the resources?

Ruling:
As stated in the rules, when an action or reaction fails, the player who activated it loses the resources spent on it. The Overseer Station's action fails, and you do lose the resources spent. However, you do not have to destroy the Overseer Station, as the only part of a failed action which occurs is the loss of resources.
