Tel Trevura and Hull Upgrade

[SilentFury]

I'm curious about the interaction of the Hull Upgrade modification and Tel Trevura's Pilot Ability.

• The ability states: If you would be destroyed, you may spend 1 charge . If you do, discard all of your damage cards, suffer 5 hit damage, and place yourself in reserves instead. At the start of the next Planning Phase, place yourself within range 1 of your player edge.
• Hull Upgrade increases the hull value by 1

If Tel Trevura would be destroyed, you pay the charge, and you assign 5 face down damage cards would there be 2 hull points remaining, since the hull upgrade is still equipped and the modified hull value was originally 7? I don't know of any rule where the modification would be nullified because of this ability.

Yes, if Tel Trevura (JumpMaster 5000) is equipped with Hull Upgrade, after using his ability, it would take 2 damage cards to destroy him.
