Proof and test campaign
Tests
6 structured test claims and 9 other claims whose own text says cryo, proof, static fire, spin prime, wet dress, thrust sim or burst. TEST rows are ledger test effects; MENTION rows are notes or moves that name a test and are not counted as one. The plate on each vehicle reads test claims over all rows. Read each claim and its sources before drawing a campaign count.
