Rift Assault

The effects both share the same timing and can be resolved in either order in the same attack. But a ship can only hold a single objective token at a time.

Reference

A player must discard the objective token and resolve the objective’s Special Rule in order to gain a victory token.

Reference

When an attacker resolves the Special Rule effect to discard an objective token from the defender, they must change a die as specified for that player.

The standard obstacles are modified during setup, remove the station obstacle and add the gravity rift.

The special rule:
When a ship is attacking a ship, if the defending ship is beyond distance 1 of any obstacles, and the defender does not also have an objective token, during the “Resolve attack effects” step, the attacker may spend 1 die with any icon (no blank faces) to assign an objective token to the defender.

Still during the “Resolve attack effects” step, the attacker may discard the defenders objective token and must change 1 die to a face of an Accuracy or 1 hit icon (if the attack is the first player) or to the face of any icon (if the attacker is the second player).

The attacker then gains 1 victory token worth 10 points.

At End of Round, each ship at distance 1-2 of the gravity rife that has its speed dial set to 1 or 0, suffers 1 facedown damage card.
