The only thing I can think the "y"s would be for are "may" "you" and "your" which doesn't help a lot in adding any specifics haha

Other uses for y:
by
special ability
many
A few phrases that might be useful (that we have the letters for):
up to its speed
An enemy that takes damage from this character
may not use a special ability

I had mentioned earlier, shortly before LARGE BASE was solved, that I had seen some things posted that related to each of the missing parts at the time.
1) Early on there was talk about this being a Huge character.
(but no one thought about posting the base size card text ;)
2) Later, Rapport (was not fully fleshed out until today)
3) ????? ... it was out of context at the time, so I let it go by.
Maybe it will turn up again. :)

*EDIT*
nvm, can't be Spacetrooper Platoon, not enough o's.
Maybe it's a Synergy of some sort? Or a Spacetrooper Platform ability, depending on the o's that are left?

Hmmmm, interesting.
Well, I had Forward Positioning in my first guess which was neither confirmed or denied. What about some new version of this ability?
Attack Positioning [Set up anywhere on your opponents half of the battle map]
Attack Positioning [Set up anywhere on the battle map]
Neither of these works (too few lower case o amongst other things), but it might be a start.

Since he works well with Thrawn maybe it is something that allows him to be swapped with medium base figures...

[At the end of this characters turn,]
that seems like it is possible. And one of the only possibilities. That or:
[ An enemy that takes damage from this character, may not use Special Abilities ]
Also i Feel That Special Abilities/Ability is in this And the Ability Begins with a P.

Oh - I think Special Ability is supposed to be capitalized. Not sure, but if so, then it is out as part of this ability.

That is the same approach I would take. It's a given that the SA name will use at least one capital. Another one would start the definition text, so the remaining one is either something else in the def that is always capitalized, or it goes in the name. If it belongs in the definition, that basically limits it to an SA/character name (or certain other terms). Checking existing ability wordings helps with figuring out what is customary. (noting that deviations can occur) Also, I can say from past experience that some wording choices and combinations have a way of eluding the eye. I miss working on these. I love puzzles.

actually i dont think that would be it. I have a feeling that it has to do with damage. Also i found out through suppressive fire, that you do not capitalize special abilities in the Text

Not necessarily out, because this works (and is the wording on Override, etc):
At the end of its turn, this character can select an ally
However, based on swinefeld's comments, this needs to be an offensive power that works (at least) with attacks. He said that it would make this guy scary when paired with Vader AoE. Careful Shot/Double aren't going to do anything to boost his Missiles.

Not that it helps that much, but here are some things we can't do:
No v: so no movement
No q: no placement within X squares
Only one d: no "prevented or redirected"; no "double damage"; no "considered activated"; no "damaged"
No w: no within
No j: no adjacent
Lots of a's and t's... sounds like attack and character.

Precise Start [An enemy that takes damage from this character may not attack until it uses a special ability]
if all map, black tart
(That flavor text is apparently some sort of strange code...)

Me and my big mouth. -- OK, from this point forward I will confirm substantial parts of the definition if the words are posted in the correct order as they appear in the ability. I will also confirm just the name (or part of the name, if applicable).

BTW, if you're still wondering, the lack of quotes and periods rules out any flavor text.
Pretty sure boggle's last posting of the letters was accurate.
