Special rules
Data Recovery
A unit must spend one full round in uninterrupted base contact with the wreck (no movement, no firing) to download the data core.
Debris Hazard Zone
The area within 4 inches of the wreck counts as rough terrain and can catch fire from missed shots.
Fire at the Wreck
If an attack misses a target within the hazard zone, the target's terrain catches fire on a D6 roll of 6. Burning terrain deals 1 damage (AS) or 5 heat (CBT) to every unit ending a phase there.
