What to study

The same screen one tab over, and the one that teaches the gating: Void Shields I is locked behind Improved Reactor Output I, the prerequisite printed in red under the cost chips (6 Servitors, 12 Days) with a padlock and LOCKED where the UPGRADE button sits in the Support tab. The facility strip below has changed with the tab, Void Shields, Deck Guns, Exterminatus, Mechanical Bay, so each tab of the Baleful Edict screen carries its own set of facilities, while the ship hologram and the three left-hand stat rows stay put as the screen's constant frame. The leader line from the ship's shield node to the detail panel is the screen's one piece of wayfinding: the upgrade is anchored to the part of the ship it improves. Frame at 0:57 in the Launch Trailer video (Steam), manually extracted at 57.0s from the dense 1 frame/2s scan: the scene-change pass emitted the neighbouring Support tab (v0_0016 at 57.15s) but no frame inside this Defense-tab beat. Flaws: top Servitors bar slightly cropped, bottom strip clipped mid-icon, as the trailer frames it.
