Figures in the Photograph
The photograph shows three figures, each with its character cards: Knight Mk I, Bio-Armor Mk I and Archon Mk I. The BGG description says the expansion includes 2 agents and 2 power armors. The photograph's caption says 3 figures make up the 5th Column. The two descriptions do not agree, so this file covers only what is printed in the photograph.
Knight Mk I
Armor: Knight Mk I
- Armor value: a Bolt symbol, "+1", and a Shield symbol.
Passive Ability
Passive: Once per round, Knight may become the target of an alien attack directed against an agent in the Knight's area. Must be used before alien hit roll.
Bio-Armor Mk I
Armor: Bio-Armor Mk I
- Armor value: a Bolt symbol, "+1", and a Shield symbol.
Energy Ray (Ability Card)
Energy Ray Ability: Attack target alien. Area damage.
The card shows two icons above the text, which are not identified in this transcription. The card is shown next to the Bio-Armor Mk I armor card in the photograph. Its ownership is inferred from that layout.
Archon Mk I
Armor: Archon Mk I
- Armor text: Each Bolt counts as a Shield against ranged attacks.
Passive Ability
Passive: Ignore all [warning icon] and [icon] when using alien weapons. Each [Bolt icon] result counts also as a [icon].
The two icons in the passive text, after "Ignore all" and after "and", are not identified in this transcription, and neither is the icon after "counts also as a". The Bolt icon in "Each ... result" is read from its shape and matches the Bolt symbol on the Knight and Bio-Armor armor values.
Rifle (Weapon Card)
Stat row: a ranged-weapon icon, "4", a target icon, a Bolt-type icon, and an infinity symbol for ammo.
- Bolt: Critical 2.
The Rifle card sits next to the Archon Mk I armor card in the photograph. Its ownership is inferred from that layout.
Cold Flame (Weapon Card)
The card's effect text is cut off at the edge of the photograph. The legible fragment is "Area dam...", which reads as Area Damage. The full effect text is not transcribed.
Other Weapon Cards in the Photograph
The following weapon cards are in the photograph. Their owners cannot be determined from the layout, so they are listed without an owner.
Electric Blade
Stat row: a blue die icon, "4", two further icons, a target icon, a Bolt-type icon and an infinity symbol for ammo.
- Bolt: Perform an extra attack with the Shield Glove.
Shield Glove
- Bolt: The attacked alien is moved back 1 area.
Bio-Blades
Stat row: a blue die icon, "4", two further icons, a target icon, a Bolt-type icon and an infinity symbol for ammo.
- Bolt: Critical 2.
Gaps
The following are not transcribed, because they are not legible in the photograph:
- Agent names and agent ability cards: the top card above each figure is covered by the figure or blurred. Their names and ability text are not legible.
- Bio-Armor Mk I passive or ability card: the card above the Bio-Armor figure is covered and not legible.
- Icons: the icons in the Archon Mk I passive text and the armor values are only partly identified, as noted above.
- Stat numbers on the green cards: each figure has a green card with two numbers and two icons (Knight Mk I 11 and 4, Bio-Armor Mk I 10 and 3, Archon Mk I 7 and 4). The icons are not identified, and the numbers are not confirmed as Health Points or Movement.
- Cold Flame: the full effect text is cut off at the edge of the photograph.
- Critical 2: the keyword is printed on three weapons. Its rule is not defined in the base Galaxy Defenders rulebook text that was checked, so it is transcribed as printed.
- Any other cards: the photograph shows no other 5th Column cards. The official card set and a rules sheet, if any exist, were not reachable.
