ROUND 4
Status Phase
New Action Cards
The Core Stability Law is still in effect.
Core Stability (LAW)
During each Status Phase, Action Cards are drawn and
placed face-up on the table. Players
choose their cards in order of unexhausted influence from highest
to lowest.
Each player agrees to turn over their cards and place them in the common area face-up for everyone to see. Then after all cards are laid out, players will choose them based upon the Law.
Because of her special Race Ability, Melissa draws 2 Action Cards, "Emergency Repairs" and "Rise of a Messiah".
Nicholas has the "Neural Motivator" technology card, which in allows him to draw 1 extra Action Card in the Status Phase. He draws 2 Action Cards, "Sabotage" and "Sabotage". He drew the same card both times.
Steve draws the Action Card "Successful Spy".
Emergency Repairs
Allows the player to immediately repair any Dreadnoughts
and War Suns in a system.
Rise of a Messiah
The player receives 1 Ground Force unit on every
planet they control.
Sabotage (2 cards)
Allows the player to cancel any other Action Card, except
another "Sabotage" card.
Successful Spy
Allows the player to steal 2 random Action Cards from an
opponent.
The players now compare their un-exhausted Influence points to determine Action Card draw order.
| Player | Available Influence | |
|---|---|---|
| Steve | 7 | |
| Melissa | 22 | Speaker Token |
| Nicholas | 12 |
Here's how the Action Cards will be drawn by the players.

New Command Counters and Re-Distribute

their Race Sheet. The counters on the sheet may be moved around.
Here is the distribution of Command Counters
