Iden Versio & Thread Tracers

[Mace Windu]

Just wanting to know if a player cancels the damage from a Thread Tracers missile with Iden's ability, is the defender still considered hit and will the Thread Tracers ability to grant Target Locks to other friendly ships still trigger?

Iden's (Tie/ln pilot) ability can prevent damage from being suffered which during an attack usually occurs in step 5. However Thread Tracers cancel all dice results after the ships acquire the lock as a result of the attack hitting. The hit occurs at the end of step 4 and so do the resulting acquiring of locks and cancelling of results.

So this means that the dice results of the Tracer attack are cancelled before damage would be suffered and as a result Iden cannot be used for a Thread Tracers attack.
