Special (Mars)

When you perform an attack action, each of your spaceships may either attack using your Weapon Technology or use mind control to take over one target spaceship in the same area. Its original owner no longer controls it — you do! Put the target spaceship on its side to indicate this.

On each of your turns after this one, you can use the controlled spaceship just as if it were one of your own spaceships — you can use it to move, attack, or collect population for you. However, the controlled spaceship uses its own Movement, Weapon, and Defense Tech cards, not yours. It cannot use its original owner’s Special card while it is controlled.

Each of your spaceships may only control one other spaceship at a time. If, at the end of any turn, you do not have as many spaceships in an area as there are controlled spaceships in that area, you must release controlled spaceships of your choice back to their original owners until the number of controlled spaceships is equal to the number of your spaceships in that area.

Pluto is immune to mind control.
