Corrections:
So be clear about surpassing, your card only has to be higher than the lead card.

When using raid dice, you can only steal from your opponent if you have at least one remaining ship in the system after damage is dealt.

Captives and Trophies are returned after all ambitions have been scored, not immediately after scoring Tyrant/Warlord.
