COUNTERS
Each player needs a set of 10 "Loyal World" counters of a color unique to that player.
Each player needs a set of 30 blank "Identification" counters of a color unique to that player.
Identify your units by placing your Identintification counters under them.
RECRUIT PILE
Chit Mix: Make 10 of each unit type. Force Fields & Ion guns only 5 each.
Include 1 or 2 each of each of the special chits.
When making chits write the name of the unit and an identification number #1-10.
RECRUIT PHASE
Draw 1 chit from the recruit pile per successful recruit attempt by
Loyal Planet and Governor (on a loyal planet) you control.
Only 1 governor per planet gets this benefit.
If the planet is blockaded by enemy Star Cruisers the ability of
Loyal Planets and Governors becomes Recruit-3.
Worlds disrupted by bombardment cannot recruit.
Governors on worlds disrupted by bombardment cannot recruit.
Recruited chits go into your reserve pile.
Neutral worlds and worlds with uprisings do not recruit chits.
You can have a maximum of 7 chits in your reserve before you
must discard back to the recruit pile.
BLOCKADE PHASE
Star cruisers may declare they are blockading the world they currently orbit.
SURVEILLANCE PHASE
Non-wounded Agents have two different actions they may take:
1. Observe-2 an opponents reserve pile.
Observe-2 means that the observation succeedes on a roll of 1-2 on D6.
2. Observe-2 an enemy unit. If successful,
The controlling player must declare that units' movement orders immediately.
The agent gets observe-4 if he is in the same system as the unit.
MOVEMENT PHASE
All players write down movement orders for all of their units.
A unit can move to any world on the map from any other world.
Blockading Cruisers may not move.
Players reveal their orders.
Example Order: Move Agent#3 to Cassiopia.
Players move their units. All movement is considered simultaneous.
Rebels, Ion Cannons, Shields, and Bases do not move (Rebel Leaders may move).
Troops can only move if a Star cruiser transports them.
Example Order: Move Star cruiser #1 and Troops#2 to planet Jungla.
Units not given written orders do not move.
Smugglers rule:
Every enemy personality trying to get on or off a blockaded world
must roll D6: On a roll of 1-2 they are destroyed.
Disrupted & wounded units may move.
ACTION PHASE
Wounded Personalities can take no other action except heal
Disrupted units, installations, and worlds can take no other action except repair.
Conduct all the actions on one planet before moving to the next.
Go in Alphabetical order by planet.
Players with units on the World take turns.
In a turn, one unit takes one action.
The Player with more units in the System goes first.
Blockading Cruisers may not do any further actions.
Worlds disrupted by bombardment cannot deploy.
Units on worlds disrupted by bombardment cannot deploy.
Governors may only deploy on loyal Worlds.
A unit may only attempt to control a world if no enemy troops are present.
An agent that acted in surveillance phase may not act in this phase.
Wounded/disrupted units that are wounded/disrupted again
are eliminated.
DETERMINING ACTION SUCCESS
All actions are written in the form: Action-X
For example: Sabotage-3
This means the sabotage action is successful on a roll of 1-3 on D6.
Sabotage-4 means the sabotage action is successful on a roll of 1-4 on D6

GAME DESIGNERS NOTES
Similar to Emporex but cleaner & more elegant.
Its like getting to be both the rebels & the evil empire.
Special thanks to Lorenzo Hernandez & Dan S. for pointing out several
flaws in the rules (which have been "fixed")
