Major Rakal's Artifact Resolution Guide
12/5/99
The Artifact Resolution table lists all artifacts through the Rules of Avquisition expansion set, with details of their use. It may be printed in landscape mode (horizintal format). (The Q-icon artifact Picard's Artificial Heart is not included because it cannot be seeded under a mission, but may only come into play through your Q-Continuum side deck.)
Here are a few things you need to know about using the Artifact Resolution table:
- The resolution details are written to be read and followed by "you," the player earning or acquiring the artifact.
- Discarded artifacts always go to the discard pile of the owner (the player who seeded it).
- The first column of the table shows card title, point box text and any icons.
- The second column classifies the artifact as "Equipment" (use as Equipment card, joins your Away Team when earned), "Place in Hand" (place in hand when earned and play later as Event card, Interrupt card or "Other") or "Immediate" (carry out the game text immediately when earned).
- [AU] = Alternate Universe icon. You must have an Alternate Universe Door or Space-Time Portal seeded to seed [AU] icon artifacts. The Doorway does not have to be open when you earn the artifact (though it must be open to play an [AU] icon "place in hand" artifact from your hand later).
- The Persistence of Memory artifact entry is linked to another table describing exactly how it "reverses" each of the listed cards.
