Agent	Brother Milor	At Game Start	After a player's destroyer or cruiser is destroyed: You may exhaust this card; if you do, that player may place up to 2 fighters from their reinforcements in that unit's system.	"Brother," the Admiral said. "Our ships are breaking up. If we retreat now..." Milor glared at him. "No! Have them launch the remaining fighters and board the enemy in the lifepods. In Darien's name, we fight to the last!"
	Brother Milor Ω		After a player's unit is destroyed: You may exhaust this card to allow that player to place 2 fighters in the destroyed unit's system if it was a ship, or 2 infantry on its planet if it was a ground force.

Commander	Brother Omar	Use your INDOCTRINATION faction ability	This card satisfies a green technology prerequisite. You may produce 1 additional infantry for their cost.
