Gaps
- Nine of sixteen Legion figures are not included. The photograph shows seven distinct cards (Sentinels, Diggers, Flying Critter, Xeno-Delta, Alien Egg, Xeno-Gamma, Crimson Nightmare). The Alien Egg card appears twice, so eight card faces are visible. The remaining nine figures' cards are not legible in any source that could be reached. Their text is not guessed.
- The full card sheet is on BGG, behind a login. BGG file 274774 ("ELITE ALIEN LEGION.jpg", filepage 204593) is the complete sheet. A complete transcription needs that file.
- Icon-only symbols are described in words or as bracketed notes. The photograph does not identify every symbol in the stat rows, so some are transcribed as "icon" or by their printed colour. Where a meaning is not printed in text, it is not supplied here.
- Expansion interaction. The Legion figures are for the red alien figures of the base game. The base game rules are in the Galaxy Defenders rulebook. Keyword names such as Mass Heal, Descent and Biters are used as printed on the cards.
