V W XYZ Released 10/19/98 (Revised 10/26/98) INTRODUCTION
Current Rulings are periodic updates to the FAQ, including rules changes, clarifications and situations not addressed in the rulebook, supplements or FAQ. Current Rulings are the official supplement to the FAQ and should be used by tournament directors in making tournament rulings. This document contains all Current Rulings issued since the 5/16/97 FAQ Update. Entries that are new or changed since the last Current Rulings document (9/21/98) are marked with an asterisk (*) before the topic. This revision includes the addendum issued 10/26/98 with changes to Assign Mission Specialists and the definition of bonus points. Answers given by official Decipher representatives are not official until included in the FAQ or in a Current Rulings document. Such answers are highly recommended for use by tournament directors, but the TD always has the final authority on rulings. NOTE: Borg drones are listed by their designations (e.g., Interlink Drone, not Nine of Eleven). Text in square brackets represents an icon. Most icon designations are listed below. LEGEND
Several earlier formal and informal rulings have been changed to enhance gameplay and for better consistency.

card." * Assign Mission Specialists: Errata: This card is no longer a CaptainŐs
Order. Clarification: Points scored are now bonus points. assimilation of planets: All facilities at the location are assimilated.
