Card
Text

Orbiting gamma-ray laser can shoot down any incoming missile (not bomber) but requires a nuclear "pump".
Must be launched like space plaftorm.
At time of launch, place 1-4 warheads (any size) on board.
When attacked, discard one warhead. Has a chance of success equal to 2.5 times the megatons expended.
Can reload to 4 warheads via Shuttle/DCX but if the platform is ever empty, it is lost.
Counts as interceptor if successful.
Can also stop "Meteor Strike" by expenditure of any warhead.

Ronald Reagan's SDI rides again. This is a somewhat clunky card but if deployed early enough, can make all the difference in the world.

Note the reappearance of the "nuclear umbrella" :) and how the left symbol is a radiation hazard but the right one is a smiley face.

The original card proved too hard to deploy effectively. (It had a 5/6 chance of working each time but could hold only 10 Mt warheads.) This card is weaker but much more deployable. It seems better but we haven't really stress-tested it.

This card is still hard to deploy but seems more functional. I threw in the thing about "Meteor Strike" because it seemed fitting and I like giving cards rare and quirky extras. No one has yet used this power.
