Bentmeeple: /* Ivits */

== Factions ==
=== Terrans ===
'''Planet Type:''' Terra

'''Ability:''' During the Gaia phase, move the power tokens in your
Gaia area to area II of your power cycle instead of to area I.

'''Planetary Institute:''' During the Gaia phase, when you move
power tokens from your Gaia area to area II of your power cycle,
you may gain resources as if you were spending that much power
to take free actions.

=== Lantids ===
'''Planet Type:''' Terra

'''Ability:''' When you take the “Build a Mine” action, you may
build a mine on a planet colonized by an opponent (including the
Lost Planet). Place your mine next to the opponent’s structure.
You do not have to pay for terraforming, but you must still pay
the mine’s cost. This mine counts as a normal mine in all ways
except the following: this mine cannot be upgraded, and it does
not count for any effects that relate to how many planet types or
Gaia planets you have colonized.

'''Planetary Institute:''' Each time you build a mine on a planet
colonized by an opponent, gain two knowledge.

=== Xenos ===
'''Planet Type:''' Desert

'''Ability:''' You place a third starting mine after all other starting
mines have been placed.

'''Planetary Institute:''' You can form federations with a total
power value of six instead of seven. You gain one Q.I.C. as
income instead of one power token.

=== Gleens ===
'''Planet Type:''' Desert

'''Ability:''' If you would ever gain Q.I.C., gain that much ore
instead; once you have upgraded to the indicated academy, this
effect no longer applies. To make a Gaia Planet habitable, pay
one ore instead of one Q.I.C. Each time you build a mine on a
Gaia Planet, gain two additional VP.

'''Planetary Institute:''' When you upgrade
to the planetary institute, immediately gain
the Gleens’ federation token (gaining the
resources shown as normal). Gaining this
tile counts as forming a federation. The
planetary institute itself can still be part of
a federation on the board.

=== Taklons===
'''Planet Type:''' Swamp

'''Ability:''' The Brainstone counts as one power token
(when starting a Gaia Project, building satellites, etc.),
but you can spend it as if it were three power.

'''Planetary Institute:''' Each time you would charge power from
“Passive Action: Charge Power,” you gain one power token. You
can choose to gain the power before or after charging.

=== Ambas===
'''Planet Type:''' Swamp

'''Ability:''' - NA

'''Planetary Institute:''' Once per round, as an action, you can
swap your planetary institute with one of your mines on the
game board (this can help you form a new federation). This has
no impact on existing federations, even if their power value
becomes less than seven. The swap does not count as a build or
upgrade action; no VP or power can be gained from it.

=== Hadsch Hallas ===
'''Planet Type:''' Oxide

'''Ability:''' -

'''Planetary Institute:''' You can spend credits instead of power to
take free actions that allow you to gain resources.
Example: You can spend 3 credits to take the free action that
allows you to gain one ore.

=== Ivits ===
'''Planet Type:''' Oxide

'''Ability:''' During setup, do not place mines. Instead, after all other
players have placed mines (including the Xenos’ third mine),
place your planetary institute on any red planet. You can only have one federation, but each time the power value of your federation becomes a multiple of 7, you may take the "Form A Federation" action again. You must discard Q.I.C. instead of power tokens to make satellites.

'''Planetary Institute:''' As a special action, place a space station
on an accessible space that does not contain a planet or another
space station. The accessibility of a space follows the same rules
as the “Build a Mine” action.

=== Geodens ===
'''Planet Type:''' Volcanic

'''Ability:''' NA

'''Planetary Institute:''' The first time you build a mine on each
planet type, gain 3 knowledge. (You do not gain knowledge for
planet types you colonized before upgrading to your planetary
institute.)

===Bal T’aks===
'''Planet Type:''' Volcanic

'''Ability:''' You cannot advance in the “Navigation” research area,
even if you take the tech tile below the “Navigation” research area.
If you do take that tech tile, no advancement occurs.
As a free action, you can move a Gaiaformer from a Gaiaformer
space on your faction board to your Gaia area to gain one Q.I.C.
Gaiaformers in your Gaia area are not available until the next Gaia
phase. In the next Gaia phase, move any Gaiaformer in your Gaia
area back to its Gaiaformer space.

'''Planetary Institute:''' You can now advance in the “Navigation”
research area.

=== Firaks===
'''Planet Type:''' Titanium

'''Ability:''' NA

'''Planetary Institute:''' As an action, you can “downgrade” a
research lab into a trading station and immediately advance one
level in a research area of your choice. Advancing in a research
area is explained on page 15. This counts as an “Upgrade to a
Trading Station” action. You can later upgrade the trading station
back into a research lab using the normal rules (including gaining
a new tech tile).

=== Bescods===
'''Planet Type:''' Titanium

'''Ability:''' The positions of your planetary institute and academies
are swapped on your faction board, as is the income you gain
for trading stations and research labs. As with the other factions,
upgrading to an academy or a research lab allows you to gain a
tech tile.
Once per round, as an action, you can advance your lowest-level
token in a research area (without paying knowledge). If multiple
of your tokens are tied for the lowest level, choose which of
the tied tokens to advance. To advance to level 5 this way, you
must still flip a federation token as normal. Remember, only one
player can reach level 5 of each research area.

'''Planetary Institute:''' The power value of your structures on gray
planets (your home type) is increased by one (in addition to any
other effects that increase their power value).

=== Nevlas ===
'''Planet Type:''' Ice

'''Ability:''' As a free action, you can move one power token from
area III of your power cycle to your Gaia area to gain one
knowledge (these power tokens follow the normal Gaia phase
rules). This does not count as spending power.

'''Planetary Institute:''' You can spend power tokens in area III of
your power cycle as if they were each two power. Otherwise,
they count as one power token (when starting a Gaia Project,
building satellites, etc.). When paying for a power action with an
odd power cost (1, 3, 5, etc.), the unspent power is lost.

=== Itars ===
'''Planet Type:''' Ice

'''Ability:''' Each time you discard a power token from area II of
your power cycle to move another power token to area III, place
the discarded power token in your Gaia area instead of returning
it to the supply.

'''Planetary Institute:''' During the Gaia phase, you can discard
4 power tokens from your Gaia area to immediately gain a tech
tile (standard or advanced).
