COLONIZING PLANET
CHAPTER 4
107
SPECIAL CASES
ALIEN ARTIFACTS
Alien artifacts have no defensive capability — except that they cannot be
destroyed in combat. Instead, when an enemy unit attacks a square with an
undefended alien artifact, or the artifact moves adjacent to an enemy, the arti-
fact passes into the possession of the enemy faction. Likewise, when the last
defender of a base falls, any alien artifacts within the base emerge and pass
into the control of the attacking faction.
PROBE TEAM COMBAT
Probe teams cannot attack most units (outside of their probe abilities), but
they can attack other probe teams. Probe team combat, like psi combat, is
influenced by the Morale level of the two combatants (see Psi Combat, p. 102,
and Morale/Lifecycle, p. 87).
