The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Polaris was in service from 1968 to 1996.
- Polaris itself was an operational system of four Resolution-class ballistic missile submarines, each armed with 16 Polaris A-3 ballistic missiles.
- Each missile was able to deliver three ET.317 thermonuclear warheads.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Polaris article was read about 17,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 83 and blocks with 100: each hit it takes is cut by 40 %.
