With prosperity and peace comes innovation. U.E.S. scientists explore new theories in faster-than-light travel and quantum shifting. A breakthrough in Hypernet technology transports both beings and goods throughout the galaxy at an even greater rate at longer distances, allowing rapid colonization in the Border Zone.
The Biodome micro-expansion features new ships and colonies that add variety and exciting new abilities to your Space Base games. New ship cards take the form of a Hypernet Craft that can be placed in any of your sectors instead of having an assigned sector. Some of the new colonies feature ongoing abilities that give you a power to use for the rest of the game instead of just scoring victory points.
Biodome is available direct from the publisher's website.
