- "War is more than tactics written in ancient tomes. War means the death of warriors who proudly fall to serve the Empire. My teachers say my star is bright, that I will soon lead a unit into battle. I do not wish my brothers in arms to die, but we all must do our duty."

Rules Q&A
- Q: Situation #2: Player A controls Bayushi Saya and uses her Political Open ability to target an Akodo Shunori (for example) controlled by Player B during Player B's turn. Player B assigns Akodo Shunori to attack and thus dishonors Akodo Shunori.
Can Player A react with Doomed Intentions to destroy Akodo Shunori, or was the source of the dishonoring Bayushi Saya's action and not Player B assigning Akodo Shunori?
A: Assigning a Unit to Attack isn't even an Action (it has no Battle, Open, Limited, or Reaction designator). You certainly can't play Doomed Intentions. Martin Lund, "Clarification: Bayushi Saya and Doomed Intentions", 13 Dec 2007
