Beyond the Sun

Yes — the Basic Spacefaring action lets you optionally transform 1 Population into a level‑1 Spaceship and then perform the Jump movement in the same action (you may build and jump as part of that action). (see page 12).

No — if you qualify for an Achievement you must claim it on your turn; when a total of 4 Achievement discs have been placed the end is triggered, and you finish the current round and then play one full final round. (see pages 10–11).

Not necessarily — if all of the controlling Faction’s ships leave and no other ships are present, that Faction retains control and keeps the Outpost; control only changes if another Faction has strictly higher power or ties remove the leaving Faction’s control. (see page 18).

No — to colonize you must control the System and return your own Ships whose combined power meets the printed requirement; opponents’ ships on the System do not affect whether you meet the colonization power threshold. After settling the required Ships, any remaining Ships are exiled to Deep Space. (see pages 20–21).

You determine the new Technology’s type from the prerequisite card types (if there are two different types you choose one), then reveal from that level’s deck until you find two cards of that type and pick one; unmatched and unchosen revealed cards go face‑down to the bottom of the deck. (see pages 14–16).

Using a Population cube moves a cube from your Faction mat to the indicated effect (e.g., a Tech slot or to build a Ship), while taking a Supply cube removes cubes from your Supply Columns left‑to‑right to create Population or trigger effects; returning Population as a cost flips cubes back to Supply columns right‑to‑left. (see pages 13–14).
