SIGNIFICANT RULINGS CHANGES AND CLARIFICATIONS

required to take more than one action, you may choose the order in which to take
those actions.
Away Team: You may no longer voluntarily
split your personnel on a planet into separate Away Teams.
*battle: You may now initiate battle against
any force you do not control (e.g., uncontrolled Empok Nor, Borg Ship dilemma),

Borg: You must use a [Def] personnel to
initiate battle, except when counter-attacking. (You may no longer use a leader.)
*"capturing-related card": Expanded definition

clarified explanation.

V.I.P."

clarification: "Plays if Greed aboard your ship when it destroys another ship
in battle (once per destroyed ship). X=3 for each OFFICER aboard destroyed ship."
Neutral and Non-Aligned: Neutral and Non-Aligned
are now considered affiliations like any other, with the exception that cards
with these icons may still mix and work with cards of any affiliation (except
Borg).

in play, no player may play a card requiring you to return a personnel or ship
to your outpost, nor may you choose an effect on a card that would require it.

Federation cards must attempt this mission. After doing so, they are free to move
away.

take any other action before the attempt begins (except valid responses).
Sense the Borg: This interrupt has errata:
