SETUP 
Each player starts with a Homesystem with 10 random units. 

UNITS & ACTION DECK
Players share a common Action deck and unit chit pile.


EXPLORATION PHASE
Include an exploration phase after movement phase.
When entering an unexplored system for the first time roll three six sided 
dice to determine The presence of Resources, Minor Races, and Enigmas.
1D6	Resources:	Revenue:	
1-2	Poor 		1
3-4	Moderate 	2
5-6	Rich		3

1D6	Minor Race:	Revenue:
1-3	No Minor Race	-
4	Primitive Race	+1
5	Modern Race	+2
6	Advanced Race	+3

1D6	Enigmas:		
1-4	No Enigma
5-6	Enigma

ENIGMA PHASE
Include an Enigma phase after exploration phase.
If the planet has an Enigma roll 1D6. 
Add +1 to the Enigma roll if the stack contains a Command ship or Science Vessel. 
On a roll of 5 the Enigma is solved.
On a roll of 1-4 the Enigma causes unintended consequences. Roll 1D6 to see what they are:
1D6	Consequence:
1-3	The Exploring stack is destroyed.
4-5	The Exploring stack must retreat.
6	Roll again plus if there was a Minor Race Present, it is destroyed.
A system cannot be controlled by diplomacy or conquest if it has an unresolved Enigma.
If the stack is destroyed the Enigma remains and must be faced again. 
If the Enigma is solved, it goes away forever.

DIPLOMACY PHASE
Include a Diplomacy phase after Enigma phase.
If the newly explored planet has a Minor Race roll 1D6.
On a roll of 6 or better, the race willingly joins your empire.
If you roll a 1-2 the race will never join your empire through diplomacy. 
The Federation and Ferengi players get +1 to the Diplomacy roll.
The Federation cannot conquer newly discovered Minor races, they can only use diplomacy.
If a diplomacy attempt fails, you can try again next turn. 
 
REVENUE PHASE
Each system generates revenue equal to its:
Resource type + Minor Race Type.
If the system has no minor race, you must first build a colony. 
Terraformed Systems generate +1 Income.
Homesystems generate 10 Revenue points per turn. 
Cardassians generate an extra point of revenue from Minor Races due to their 
oppressive rule of The subjugated race
Borg generate an extra point of revenue from Minor Races due to their 
assimilation of manpower.
Ferengi generate one less point of revenue from Minor Races because their 
control is based strictly on trade.

RECRUIT PHASE
Units must start at your Homeworld, a Starbase, or a planet with a Shipyard.
You may build colonies and shipyards and Terraform on 
systems other than your Homesystem at will.
A system can have a maximum of 1 colony and 1 shipyard and 1 Terraform.
A Minor Race Planet cannot be Terraformed. 
A system must first have a colony to have a functioning shipyard or to Terraform.
A Starbase may be built in a non-system space adjacent to a system you control.

BATTLE RULES
Opposing stacks in the same space do not have to attack each 
other if they both declare that they are on Diplomatic missions. 
If the Borg win a battle (engagement) they get to keep and control (assimilate) half 
the enemy casualties. 
Treat Leaders like other units with respect to casualties.
Players may attempt to conquer minor races. 
The Minor Race will generate 1D6 x 1D6 Force in its defense. 
When attacking a colony or Minor Race controlled by an enemy the defender will 
get +10 Force. (Garrisons, Planetary Defenses)
When attacking a Homesystem controlled by an enemy the defender will get +20 Force.
Klingons get +5 Force when battling at a system.
Units in Battle adjacent to a friendly Starbase get +5 Force.
