A rift in space, although very unusual, can assist the wise commander in taking advantage of its unique properties. With all features in space there is also the possibility of danger. In the case of a space rift, units on a rift must watch out when the folds in space occur.

This Escalation Pack comes with 6 new terrain hexes, 3 six-sided dice, and a space rift rulebook that also includes 3 new scenarios. The space rift hexes are numbered 1-6. A space rift feature is always composed of 6 hexes, and all 6 adjacent space rift hexes are treated as a single fold in space, staying connected in contiguous, adjacent linked hexes. The rift moves around the star-field, sucking in any units it moves onto the same hex as. When the rift moves, you roll a six-sided die. When the number rolled matches the corresponding rift hex occupied by a unit, the unit on the hex is flung through space onto another location on the battlefield randomly determined by dice rolls. Space science!
