  • The committed fighters are returned to the space area when combat ends, and thus will not be on the planet for the Establish Control step. If the Naalu player does not commit at least one ground force to a planet and have it survive the combat, they will be unable to gain control of that planet, and the ground combat will end in a draw.
  • Any structures on the planet will not be destroyed if the Naalu player committed no ground forces.
  • The Daxcive Animators technology will not allow the Naalu player to gain control of a planet without committing a ground force.
  • The committed fighters may be assigned hits during the Space Cannon Defense step.
