Gaps and Judgment Calls
- Symbols not explained in the sources. The scans show several icons that no printed text defines: the pink icon at the top left of each Symbiont crew card, the numbered black symbol at the top right of each ship part card, the cost symbol shown with each negative number, and the small class or type icons beside the crew and ship part labels. These are transcribed here as the printed numbers and labels only. The cost symbol appears to match the Credits icon, but no source states this, so it is not asserted.
- Crew height readings. Each Symbiont crew card prints a height figure (for example 6'00") in a box beside its class label. No rule text explains it, so it is not transcribed as a rule.
- Card icons in rules text. Rules text uses icons that are rendered here as words: Shield, Reactor, Thruster, Damage, Hazard, Miss, Credits, Prestige, Actions, Cards, Objective.
- Completeness. The four card scans supplied show 15 cards with rules text (5 Symbiont crew, 10 ship parts) plus the Dark Matter card face. No source gives the total card count for this expansion, so whether further cards exist beyond these scans is not verified.
- Base game. These cards are used with the base game Moonrakers. The base rules are not reproduced here; the app reads them together with this expansion.
