Turn Details

The following TTGI Overseers Board vote applied at the start of this turn.

TTGI VOTE RESULTS - Clean up STROVACARRO debris The impact of the comet STROVACARRO has impacted the constant drive of terraforming on Telas. A dedicated effort is needed to clean up the scatter debris and repair the damage caused by the controlled impact. Mechanically restoring the auto-progress of the Telas clock requires a successful DC12 roll on a D10 + FC where the FC value is the total amount of faction credits contributed.

Options:

  1. Contribute Faction Credits to the roll. If successful, the top half of the factions which contributed gain 1 XP.
  2. Do not contribute Faction Credits to the roll.

Results:
7 FC (Tahora Whai), 5 FC (Children of the Vein), 4 FC (Larkspur Combine), 3 FC (Aguamala Syndicate), 3 FC (Ascent), 1 FC (Concord of Mutual Disdain). Success!

Mechanical Revisions

Tier 7 Asset Updates

Minor updates were made to Tier 7 assets.

Movement Clarification

To better align movement assets with each other, as this makes both knowing the rules and administrating them easier, the Beachhead Landers, a tier 4 Force Asset will have its ability text changed to: "Beachhead Landers are a collection of short-range, high-capacity spike drive ships capable of moving large numbers of troops. As an action, the Beachhead Landers may move any number of Force assets, including itself, to any world within two hexes." as this better aligns it with the changes to the Deep Strike Landers.
