Two reactions to the same event triggering simultaneously
Ruling issued on November 20th 2024

Situation:
I deploy the Invader ship Scrap Synthetizer in front of an opponent's Terran ship Assault Ship. My ship has a reaction when deployed, and my opponent's ship has a reaction when a ship is deployed in front of it. Which reaction triggers first?

Ruling:
The Assault Ship's reaction allows it to override reactions of enemy ships or structures deployed in front of it. As per the rules, when two players' reactions occur simultaneously, priority goes to the player not taking their turn. The Assault Ship's reaction resolves first, creating a chain reaction, and leaving no event for the Scrap Synthetizer to react to. Its reaction does not resolve.
