______________________________________________________________

Character Bio - Manufactured by Atgar SpaceDefense Corporation, the 1.4 FD P-Tower was a light laser cannon employed as a fixed emplacement anti-vehicle weapon. It was designed to target a variety of enemy vehicles, including repulsortanks and landspeeders, although it had difficulty targeting fast-moving vehicles. The unit was quick to produce...

Due to its inexpensive cost, it was primarily used by the Alliance, and it was their most common piece of field artillery. It was detested almost universally by Alliance infantry commanders, who considered the weapon underpowered and unable to damage heavier Imperial combat vehicles. They questioned the use of an artillery weapon that limited their mobility and provided no protection to their operators. Despite the inexpensive cost of the 1.4 FD P-Tower, the weapon was still too expensive to abandon on the battlefield. In addition, the Alliance had trouble securing an adequate supply of replacement batteries to keep their units in combat readiness, and the distinctive glow given off by the power conversion cells proved to be a detriment if using the weapon at night as it could give away defensive positions. Although the low price tag kept the weapon in service, the Alliance began to slowly phase out the 1.4 FD P-Tower. (Wookieepedia)

LASER CANNON SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 9. Attack 2 + Special.
Choose a figure to attack and add up to 4 attack dice to Laser Cannon Special Attack. Before rolling attack dice for this special attack, you must roll the 20-sided die. Subtract one from your roll for each additional attack die you added to this special attack this turn. If you roll a 1-2, your turn immediately ends and this Atgar Cannon may not use its Laser Cannon Special Attack for the remainder of the game. If you roll a 3 or higher, roll attack dice normally. When attacking a Droid or Vehicle with Laser Cannon Special Attack, the defending figure rolls one fewer defense die for each skull rolled.

PERMANENT EMPLACEMENT
This Atgar Cannon may not be moved by any special power on an Army Card or glyph.

If Morsbane negates the Atgar Cannon's powers could if move via the glyph of Valda or Major Derlin?

Considering the Hive isn't allowed to move with Eldgrim's spirit even when negated I'd say no.

~Dysole, who could be wrong

Derlin just lets you take a turn with an Atgar Cannon, so you'd still need a way to boost the Atgar's move. But Morsbane does remove the "immovable" power, so with Valda it is definitely possible to move Atgar Cannons. Unlike the Marro Hive the Atgar Cannons have no supplementary rules to go with them.

[Koolster25]

Ok. That's what I thought. Another thought I had is that Saylind could also summon a negated Atgar if he wanted. Negated Atgars aren't very good, so these scenarios are highly unlikely.
