	<s>''Comms Relay'' (5 pts.) - Allows a unit with this equipped to pass an order to another friendly unit at range 1-2, but this means the squad that "passes" the order doesn't get one. Thanks to the Coordinate shenanigans, you could potentially use this to pass on orders to units you couldn't otherwise give an order token to, like a vehicle when the Command Card only allows troopers. But... you also need a face up order on this unit to use this unit's Fire Support, so... meh.</s> The 1.6 version of the Rules Reference Guide has errata'ed this to be "Non-Emplacement Trooper only".		<s>''Comms Relay'' (5 pts.) - Allows a unit with this equipped to pass an order to another friendly unit at range 1-2, but this means the squad that "passes" the order doesn't get one.

			''Emergency Transponder'' (4 pts.) - When you activate, if you were activated with an order token from the order pool, gain 1 aim token, gain 1 dodge token, or remove 1 suppression token. This unit loves to provide fire support or shoot normally. The dodge can help keep it alive while it gets into position, the aim allows it to shoot decently well if this isn't the case, and the ability to remove a suppression can help maintain action economy.

	''HQ Uplink'' (10 pts.) - Exhaust this to allow a unit to issue an order to itself. Not a bad choice; it ensures you'll get an order token on the unit at least once when you really want it, especially if your Veterans aren't near it to Coordinate. Here lies the problem, though. If your Veterans aren't close enough to coordinate to the Mark II, then you're doing something wrong.		''HQ Uplink'' (10 pts.) - Exhaust this to allow a unit to issue an order to itself.

If your Veterans aren't close enough to coordinate to the Mark II, then you're doing something wrong.

			''Hacked Comms Unit'' (5 pts.) - During the Issue Orders step of the Command Phase, after an enemy unit at range 1 is issued an order, you may issue an order to yourself, if able. As mentioned, Rebel Veterans won't want to be this close to the enemy. Hard pass.

	''Long-Range Comlink'' (10 pts.) - You always count as being within range of your commander. Situational, and not very helpful on smaller battlefields. Could be useful if you're using the Disarray or Rapid Reinforcements battle cards, but really, making use of the Veterans' Coordinate is probably a better option.

			''Into the Fray'' (4 pts.) - When an enemy unit at range 1 activates, you may gain 1 surge token. Rebel Vets should never be within range 1 of the enemy unless they're trying to control an objective, and they already surge, as it stands. Don't bother.

	''Overwatch'' (4 pts.) - Gain '''Sentinel''', making your standby range 1-3. Situationally useful.		''Overwatch'' (4 pts.) - Gain '''Sentinel''', making your standby range 1-3. Situationally useful.

	''~~Tenacity~~'' (4 pts.) - ~~When making a melee attack~~, ~~while~~ you ~~are wounded~~, ~~gain 1 red attack die~~. ~~If you~~'re in ~~melee with these boys~~, ~~then you either did something wrong or they~~'~~re dead~~.		''Protector'' (5 pts.) - Exhaust. While using '''Guardian''', you can cancel crit results as though they were hit results. During the End Phase, ready this card. This squad doesn't have guardian unless there's a specific command upgrade card in play, so don't bother. Even if that card is in play, don't. There are better options.

	''~~Offensive Push~~'' (4 pts.) - ~~exhaust to gain '''Tactical 1''', which is gaining a free aim token after~~ making a ~~standard move. Rebel Veterans~~ are ~~more defensive based~~, ~~but this can allow~~ you ~~to be a more mobile threat~~, if you ~~want to spend the points!~~		''Tenacity'' (6 pts.) - When making a melee attack, while you are wounded, gain 1 red attack die. If you're in melee with these boys, then you either did something wrong or they're dead.

	''Situational Awareness'' (2 pts.) - You gain '''Outmaneuver''', meaning you may spend dodge tokens to cancel crits. Vets, due to the Defend keyword, can make good use out of this. Worth looking at, as crits are a danger to Vets relying on cover and dodges.

			''Up Close and Personal'' (8 pts.) - After you perform a ranged attack at range 1-2, gain 1 dodge token. In theory, this is great. In practice, Vets won't get much use out of it, and are better off with other upgrades. If you want a range 2 unit, just use Fleets.

Not bad, although Veterans don't really want to push up too much to get use out of their coordinate rule.

	''Grappling Hooks'' (1 pts.) - Gain Expert Climber, allowing you to clamber without rolling dice or taking wounds. Not bad, but not recommended for the same reason Environmental Gear isn't.

			''Portable Scanner'' (6 pts.) - Gain Take Cover 1. This isn't worth it, really, on this unit. Action economy matters a lot for Rebel Corp units. There's almost no reason you shouldn't be moving, shooting, or committing to other, more important, actions.

	''Recon Intel'' (2 pts.) - Gain Scout 1, allowing you to make a speed-1 move after you deploy. Generally nice.		''Recon Intel'' (2 pts.) - Gain Scout 1, allowing you to make a speed-1 move after you deploy. Generally nice.

	''Targeting Scopes'' (4 pts.) - Gain '''Precise 1''', allowing you to re-roll 3 dice when you spend an aim token. Useful, but aims will usually be difficult to get.		''Targeting Scopes'' (4 pts.) - Gain '''Precise 1''', allowing you to re-roll 3 dice when you spend an aim token. Useful, but aims will usually be difficult to get.

			''Prepared Supplies'' (5 pts) - Cache: Dodge 1 (during setup, place 1 dodge token on this card. You can spend tokens on this card). This is a singular free dodge token that you can use at any point throughout a match. As far as upgrades go, this is the safest. It's not amazing, it's not horrible.

	''Ascension Cables'' (4 pts) - Until the end of your activation, you gain scale. This is especially useful to get your troops into position, or traverse a dense battlefield. Veterans, however, don't want to be too aggressive.		''Ascension Cables'' (4 pts) - Until the end of your activation, you gain scale.

	''Smoke Grenades'' (2 pts.) - Spend an action to deploy a Smoke Token within range 1 of your unit leader. Smoke tokens give +1 Cover to all units whose leader is within range 1 of them, but also grant that cover to an enemy unit they shoot at. It makes your fragile troops just a nudge more difficult to kill (unless they actually are in heavy cover already).

	''EMP Droid poppers'' (3 pts.) - Range 1 with 1 black die, and an attack pool that includes them gains '''Ion 1''' (just one, not one per grenade). If you know you're facing CIS- especially one heavy with droidekas or AATs- these can be worth taking. You just need to throw one to trigger it, so you can fire your other weapons to do so.
