High Frontier 4 All: Module 2 – Colonization

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)
