Criminal

Main > Rules > Faction Rules > Faction Tags > Criminal

Whether an utterly corrupt government or an interstellar criminal cartel, this faction gains their wealth by stealing that of others. They can be a scourge on all they come into contact with, or an unsavory ally.
Effect: At the start of each turn, for each faction that has an unstealthed asset or BOI on the same world as the Criminal faction has an asset, the Criminal faction may choose to steal one FacCred from that faction. This happens after faction's collect income, but before they pay upkeep.
