A ship cannot move through or into an asteroid field.

A ship cannot move through, but may move into a nebula. A ship cannot move into a nebula unless it is the active system (i.e. it cannot be the destination of a Retreat, Skilled Retreat or similar effects) If a space combat occurs in a nebula, the defender applies +1 to each combat roll of their ships during that combat. A ship that begins the “Movement” step of a tactical action in a nebula treats its move value as “1” for the duration of that step (this move value may still be increased by other means).

A ship cannot move through or into a supernova.

A ship that will move out of or through a gravity rift at any time during its movement, applies +1 to its move value (This can allow a ship to reach the active system from farther away than it normally could). For each ship that would move out of or through a gravity rift, 1 die is rolled immediately before it exits the gravity rift system; on a result of 1–3, that ship is removed from the board. Dice are not rolled for units that are being transported by ships that have capacity. Units that are being transported are removed from the board if the ship transporting them is removed from the board. Units that are removed are returned to the player’s reinforcements. A gravity rift can affect the same ship multiple times during a single movement. A system that contains multiple gravity rifts is treated as a single gravity rift.

All unit abilities cannot be used by or against units inside of an entropic scar. Text abilities are unaffected. Wormholes that would be placed inside of an entropic scar are discarded instead. At the start of the status phase, a player that has ships in an entropic scar can spend a token from their strategy pool to gain one of their faction-specific technologies.

There are two basic types of wormholes: alpha and beta. Systems that contain identical wormholes are adjacent (e.g. alpha-alpha).

This wormhole is present on the Creuss Gate system tile and the Ghosts of Creuss home system tile It follows all normal wormhole rules

The Prophecy of Kings expansion introduced an additional wormhole type - the Gamma Wormhole. The Wormhole Nexus initially contains only a gamma wormhole but when flipped contains an Alpha, Beta and Gamma wormhole. Gamma wormholes may be acquired by resolving certain cards in the exploration and frontier decks as well as one card in the Agenda deck.

This wormhole is present on the Rebellion Gate system tile and the Crimson Rebellion home system tile It follows all normal wormhole rules. However, other players' units that move or are placed into the Rebellion home system are destroyed.The Quann system, which contains a Beta wormholeThe Creuss Gate along with its Delta wormholeThe Crimson Rebellion Home System along with its Epsilon wormhole

The Wormhole Nexus is a special system introduced in the Prophecy of Kings expansion that is placed outside the main board setup (similar to the Creuss home system) and may only be accessed via a Gamma (γ) Wormhole. (Note: It is still counted as being on the Game Board for the Purpose of Cards and Abilities). At Game Setup, it is placed on its INACTIVE SIDE and contains the Legendary Planet Malice (see above), along with a Gamma Wormhole. The first time a player moves or places a unit into the wormhole nexus or gains control of its planet (Malice), the player flips it to its ACTIVE SIDE, which contains an Alpha, Beta and Gamma Wormhole (Thus it is now adjacent to any system with an alpha, beta or gamma wormhole). The wormhole nexus is on the edge of the game board for the purpose of scoring objectives.

(Note: If playing with the Thunder's Edge expansion, Mecatol Rex has been changed to a legendary planet and is listed in the Legendary Planets page) Mecatol Rex is the planet placed in the center of the game board during setup. During setup, the Custodians Token is placed on Mecatol Rex. This token prevents a player from committing ground forces to land on the planet unless they spend six influence to remove the token. Once a player does remove the Custodians Token, they place it in their play area and gain one victory point. Since the galactic council can now convene on Mecatol Rex, the agenda phase is added as the last phase of each game round.
