High Frontier 4 All: Module 2 – Colonization
This expansion introduces orbital space colonies called Bernals and space pioneers called Colonists, extending play from exploiting the solar system’s resources to settling it. Bernal cards upgrade Colonies and provide Victory Points based on the Hydration of nearby Factories. They also award Colonists, which can be sent to Sites to perform additional Operations.

Rules questions
Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.
How many Colonists can I have, and when do I get one?
Each Anchored Bernal supports 1 Colonist, or 2 if promoted. Anchoring a Bernal triggers exomigration; if you have fewer Colonists than your limit on your turn, you must exomigrate as a free action. (pp. 7, 17)
What happens if I draw a Robot during exomigration?
A Robot goes into your Hand, not into space, and you immediately exomigrate again until a Human enters space. Robots in your Hand do not count against your Colonist limit. (pp. 7, 18)
Can I anchor a Bernal anywhere, and do I keep its supports afterward?
No: it must be in a Home Orbit or adjacent to one of your Colonies not already used as a Dirtside, and it cannot be at a Site, Hazard, lander burn, or Luna. Anchoring decommissions its support chain; an Anchored Bernal does not need supports. (p. 6)
What counts as a Dirtside, and does it score points?
A Dirtside is a Factory at a Site adjacent to your Anchored Bernal; Luna Factories cannot serve as Dirtsides. At game end, add the Hydration values of all your Bernals’ Dirtside Sites, including Factories owned by opponents; a Home Orbit adds 6. (pp. 10, 16)
What’s special about a Home Bernal?
An Anchored Bernal in a Home Orbit is a Home Bernal, and you may have only one. It moves your Aquas and Crew from LEO into its stack, unlocks your faction privilege, and gives you 1 Aqua at the start of each turn while it remains anchored there. (p. 13)
When can I promote a Bernal or Colonist, and what does promotion do?
An unpromoted card can be promoted at a colony matching its dome icon or at a Lab; a Bernal must be anchored adjacent to its specified promotion colony. Promotion is permanent, and promoting a Bernal unlocks its ability and raises its Colonist limit from 1 to 2. (pp. 4–5)
