Notes on Transcription
- The Agenda cards carry no printed name on the scan. They are numbered A and B here in the order they appear on the sheet, and the Factions Agendas title band is not transcribed.
- The Null-Time Vault and Resonating Beacon cards show their cost and location icons without printed words. The icons are transcribed as [fuel or ore] and [location icon] because the card art does not spell out which location or token type each symbol represents; the card text itself is otherwise verbatim.
