Gravity Rift

Marked text is printed in red in LRR v2.0 (new or changed with Prophecy of Kings)

A gravity rift is an anomaly that affects movement.

41.1
A ship that will move out of or through a gravity rift at any time during its movement, applies +1 to its move value.
  1. This can allow a ship to reach the active system from farther away than it normally could.
41.2
For each ship that would move out of or through a gravity rift, one die is rolled immediately before it exits the gravity rift system; on a result of 1–3, that ship is removed from the board.
  1. Dice are not rolled for units that are being transported by ships that have capacity.
  2. Units that are being transported are removed from the board if the ship transporting them is removed from the board.
  3. Units that are removed are returned to the player’s reinforcements.
41.3
A gravity rift can affect the same ship multiple times during a single movement.
41.4
A system that contains multiple gravity rifts is treated as a single gravity rift.

Moving through a gravity rift. A ship that moves out of or through a gravity rift applies +1 to its move value; roll for it immediately before it leaves the rift, and on a 1–3 it is removed from the board (LRR 41). Our illustration — not rulebook art.

Thunder's Edge clarification Official update

Gravity Rift (Anomaly)

  • A gravity rift can only contribute its movement bonus to ships that pass through it once per ship. This is a change from previous rulings.
