Command Phase.

Begin research on Long Range Sensor Arrays.

Warp the 4 ships in my science fleet. (Lets head east.)

Leave Warp.

(Based on these results I’ll declare my last two commands.

@RogerBW asked for a die roll:  
OK, so you spend 3 Production to build 3 ships, and Bonus Fleet Build them into the Science Fleet.

Adding the fourth ship happens in the Command Phase, but doesn’t cost a Command.

C1: start Long Range Sensor Arrays.  
C2: initiate warp for fleet 1.  
C3: exit warp.

Warp lane length: `d3+1: 2`  
Destination: Eagle Nebula, hazard 5.  
Science fleet loses a ship on 6: `d6: 5`

Ok. Take the research token and add it to my research project.

Gain one culture for discovering the phenomenon.

Spend one Command to launch a ship from earth into warp. (Heading West)

Spend final command to build a star base above Earth.

Who’s the player to my right? In order of signup: @RossM. I think you get to pivot the system you’re about to link from…

Well, that lasted a long time.

End of Klingon turn. End of all player turns. Recharge Stage.

- Nobody has an Ascendancy (A 5), Supremacy (own 3 homeworlds), or Agenda (Vulcans not in play) victory.
- Nobody is Exterminated.
- Everyone has one node each of P, C and R and therefore gets one point of each.
- No Trade Agreements
- No Resources from Advancements
- Command tokens are reset
- Federation ship at warp gets another Warp token
- the two Phenomena get Research tokens

Which I think leaves us thus:

(Can you please put Rog away from everyone else? It’s a dead-end system, so against the East board edge, kinda like you did with Goralis, would be ideal, please and thank ya!)
