Echo Base Shield Generator

ASK FANTASY FLIGHT 

Q: If you place a 3rd damage on the shield generator during an action window prior to or during your deployment phase (but on your turn), can the shield generator then be redeployed that turn and use the action again, or does the once per turn limit on the action remain regardless of the generators leaving play?

A: When it leaves play and re-enters play, the game treats it as an entirely new copy of the card, with no memory of the previous time it was in play. So the limit is reset when the card re-enters play.

Q: If you have a Hoth Rearguard (with Protect Hoth) in play, can you use the action on Echo Base Shield Generator but instead place the damage on the Hoth Rearguard?

A: Yes, you may use the Hoth Rearguard to protect the Echo Base Shield Generator.
