his expansion takes place immediately following the crash of the Auriga. Somehow, something survived.

Aliens from both breeds begin hiving parts of the Jungle. Marines, already battle-worn, search vainly for
survivors while the Rogues are ready to steal anything that is not locked down. The Predators continue to
do what they do best...harvest trophies.

MPs to move directly to any Hive location in play. (treat this hive movement as if the Breeding Chamber was
temporarily adjacent to the target Hive location)
Any character in any location who is captured by the Alien player is moved directly at no MP cost to the
Alien players Breeding Chamber.

New Changes to Cards from Previous Editions

Items are considered to be any Equipment, Weaponry, Ammo, Attachments, Military Arms, Predator Items,
or Vehicle Items. Barrier and Vehicle cards themselves are NOT considered to be items for the purposes of
events and effects such as Disarmament, Malfunction, Acid Spray, Acid Splash, etc

DEFINITION OF ITEMS:

P-5000 POWERLOADER

The P-5000 Powerloader has undergone the most drastic change of any Premiere edition card. The
Powerloader is now a Vehicle. Until we can reprint the card in a future expansion, please refer to the card
image below when using the Powerloader.

DEFINITION OF SHIP LOCATIONS:

Ship locations do not have the Indoor or the Outdoor resource. Ship locations may never be adjacent to
Cross-Locations. Ship locations may be placed beside Indoor Entry locations and Outdoor Open locations and
vice versa.

ACCESS SPACE

Deploying Traps: How traps are brought into play: Event and Item cards with the "Trap" resource are considered "Trap Cards". A character may rotate during the search phase to deploy a trap card at his current location. The trap card is placed face down underneath the location. A character and location must meet all restrictions on the Trap card as normal.
Activating Traps: How traps are set off: When a character enters a location that contains a deployed trap
card, that character must take a "Trap Test." The Trap Test is a simple d6 roll; 1-3, trap was not triggered, 4-6,
your character(s) has triggered the trap at the location. Turn it face-up and apply its effects to the character(s)
who failed the roll. When more than one character enters a trapped location at the same time, the player controlling the moving characters determines the order in which his or her characters take their Trap Tests.
Some characters in Aliens Predator are faster and more agile than others. To represent this, certain aspects
of the characters will modify the Traps Test. These bonuses and penalties are cumulative. It is possible for a
character to be an Unlucky (+1) Scout (-1) with 2 damage counters (+2). This character would have +2 to
the Trap Test roll. Finally, a natural 1 always means success and a natural 6 always means failure regardless of
modifications.
Hidden markers vs Traps: When a hidden movement marker enters a trapped location, the hidden
marker must take a Trap test as if it was the character it is representing. If the hidden marker fails the test, the

Effect: The first person to play this card picks one additional Indoor location. That Indoor location is adjacent to
the Access Space. This effect is permanent.

marker must immediately reveal. Apply the effects of the triggered trap only if hidden marker was actually a real
character. If the hidden marker turns out to be a decoy, then the trap is not activated and it stays face down.

SELF DESTRUCT

VEHICLES:

Type: Predator Item

Restrictions: Predator Item, 0 Honor
Effect: Activate with Event card. Detonates at the end of 2 turns. If detonated at an Indoor location, destroy this
location, all connected Indoor locations, and their contents. (Discard cards.) If detonated at an Outdoor location, all connected locations gain the Damaged resource and all characters in those connected Outdoor locations immediately take 12 damage (can be resisted).
Caption: It is more honorable to die than to live with defeat.

New Changes to Rules from Previous Editions:

DEFINITION OF BREEDING CHAMBER:

Breeding Chambers can only be brought into play under special circumstances (see page 47 of the Printed
Rules). In addition to the standard rules, a Breeding Chamber may only be brought into play if all adjacent locations are Hived. A newly created and placed Breeding Chamber gains any of the applicable resources depending
upon which location it replaced (ie: Indoor, Outdoor, Low, High, Ground). For example, when a Chestburster is
matured into a Young Queen in a Low, Outdoor location, the Breeding Chamber would be considered to gain
the following resources: LOW and OUTDOOR. All other resources and effect text from the original location are
ignored. You may never replace an Entry location with a Breeding Chamber. All Breeding Chamber locations are
considered Distinct.

HIVE MOVEMENT:

Aliens characters are remarkably agile and adaptive. These creatures have an uncanny ability to be in the right
place at the right time. The following section will define what Hive Movement is and thus revise all previous rules concerning it.
a) Hive Movement allows an Alien character in any Hive location to spend 2 MPs to move directly to an
undamaged Breeding Chamber in play. Alien characters in an undamaged Breeding Chamber may spend 2

Definition of Vehicle card Terminology

Vehicles use 4 stats:

Speed - A Vehicles speed determines how many locations it can move through and how hard it is to hit in
combat. (ie: MPs and Defense value)
Capacity/Passengers Capacity refers to the total number of character cards including the Driver/Pilot
that may be on board the Vehicle.
Armor Points - Armor acts as a barrier that must first be worn down before the Vehicles hull starts to suffer
damage.
Hull Points - HP's should be treated in the same manner as characters use the power stat. HP refers to the
amount of resistance a Vehicle has after its armor is destroyed. When the HP is reduced to 0, the vehicle is
destroyed and discarded.

Definition of new resources for Vehicles

Enclosed - Enclosed represents a type of Vehicle with a limited field of view and protection from harsh environments. Enclosed Vehicles are considered to be a separate location for purposes of Characters being together and
controlled.
Vehicle Item The Vehicle Item restriction indicates that this item may only be deployed on a Vehicle. In addition,
only Ammo and Attachments designed specifically for Vehicle Items may be played on Vehicle Items unless stated
otherwise.

General Vehicle Rules

Unless stated otherwise in a Vehicle's effect text, Vehicles may enter any location except Confined, Cover,
Submerged, and Cross-Locations. Only a character with the Driver or Pilot resource may rotate during the movement round to Lock Down and drive a Vehicle. A character rotated in this manner is referred to as the Driver of
the Vehicle.
While the Vehicle is considered locked down, the Vehicle is in motion and this means that no characters
can enter or exit the Vehicle, for any reason. Any characters may spend 1 MP to enter or exit a Vehicle that is

not locked down, as long as the Vehicles capacity is not exceeded. Vehicles in the Locked Down state are
assumed to have a defense equal to the Vehicles current speed (plus modifiers). Vehicles that are not Locked
Down are assumed to have a defense of 0.
If for whatever reason a Vehicle ends up in a location that is illegal for that Vehicle, the Vehicles speed is
reduced to a modified 0 while it is at an illegal location. There is no limit to the amount of items or equipment
that may be onboard a Vehicle. Unless otherwise stated, Vehicles may not be placed onto other Vehicles.
Passengers and Drivers may not use hidden markers. Vehicles are not subject to outnumbering nor do they outnumber others.
How attacks are declared: Attacks may be declared against the Vehicle, the Driver, or the passengers.
These attacks use the Vehicles speed as the base defense value. If the Vehicle is Enclosed then attacks may
only be declared upon the Vehicle itself, not the Driver or passengers.
How damage is resolved against a Vehicle: All incoming damage is first applied against the Vehicle's
armor rating. This armor works as a barrier to protect the hull. Once the armor rating reaches 0, any further damage is then applied directly to the hull. Every point of hull damage reduces the Vehicles current speed by one.
Example 1: The APC has an armor of 10 and a hull of 7. It is hit by a Plasma Caster (15 damage). The
armor resists the first 10 points of damage and takes 5 points of damage. This will reduce the armor to 5,
leaving 0 points to get through to the hull. The hull remains intact and undamaged.
Example 2: The APC has an armor of 10 and a hull of 7. It is hit by an Alien Warrior with 13 tokens (21 damage).
a) The armor resists the first 10 damage
b) The remaining 11 points of damage (of the original 21 dmg) reduces the armor stat from 10 to 0.
c) This still leaves 1 point of damage (of the original 21 dmg) to be applied.
d) This 1 point of damage is applied to the hull. The hull currently has 7 resistance, therefore this remaining
point of damage is resisted by the hull.
e) This APC has a speed of 5, armor of 0, and a hull of 7. Any further damage will be applied to the hull. Every
point of damage on the hull reduces the Vehicles speed by 1.
How to deal with a Vehicles destruction: Once a Vehicles hull points are reduced to zero, it is considered
destroyed. When an Enclosed Vehicle is destroyed, the Pilot/Driver is immediately killed, roll a die and apply the
result to the Vehicle Destruction Table.
However, when a non-Enclosed Vehicle is destroyed, there is a chance that all aboard will jump to safety.
Each Driver/passenger aboard must check to see if they are able to jump off the vehicle safely. Roll a d6 and
subtract 1 from the die roll. If the 'roll -1' is equal to or less than the character's current speed, they jump off
safely. For all characters who fail this check, roll a d6 and apply the results to the Vehicle Destruction table.

Vehicle Destruction Table: (Non-Enclosed Vehicles subtract 1 from this die roll.)
All passengers that are present are placed into the location where the Vehicle was destroyed,
each passenger gains 1 damage counter.
2-4 All passengers that are present without armor are killed. Passengers with armor gain 2 damage
counters and their armor is discarded.
5-6 All passengers that are present are killed, all items are discarded, and the location is considered
permanently damaged.
Rules for Vehicle Ramming: During the movement round Vehicles with a speed of 4 or more may make
a ramming attempt. Vehicles may only attempt to ram one Barrier, one Vehicle, or one Character per turn. A player
who wishes to use his Vehicle to ram declares the attack during his segment of the movement round. Vehicles that
are not Enclosed add +1 to hit when they are ramming, and add +1 to defense when they are being rammed. If
a ramming Vehicle still has movement points left after the ramming attempt, it may continue to move.
In all cases, a character may only play plus to hit cards which specifically say that they modify a ram attempt.
Cards such as Adrenaline Rush or Good Shot CANNOT be used to modify a ram hit roll.
Vehicles Ramming Barriers: During the movement round, a Vehicle with a speed of 4 or more may attempt to
ram a Barrier at its location. To see if the Barrier holds or if the Vehicle destroys the Barrier, the following steps are taken:
1) The owner of the Vehicle rolls a d6 and adds the Vehicles current armor value and hull value to the die roll.
2) The Barriers owner rolls a d6 and adds the Barrier's current value.
3) If the Vehicles total is higher, the Barrier is destroyed. The Vehicle is placed on the other side of the Barrier,
and may continue to move, if it can legally leave this location. (ie: If this causes a Vehicle to enter a Submerged
location that Vehicle would be stuck for the remainder of the game.)
4) If the Barriers total is higher, the Vehicles armor is reduced to 0 and the Vehicle may not move any further
this turn and all characters inside the Vehicle without armor gain 1 damage counter.
5) If the two totals are equal, no damage is done to either the Barrier or the Vehicle, however the Vehicle may
not move any further this turn.
Vehicles ramming Vehicles: During the movement round, a Vehicle may attempt to ram another Vehicle.
If the defending Vehicle is hit, the ramming Vehicle does its armor + hull + 2 worth of damage to the defending
Vehicle. The ramming Vehicle takes an amount of damage equal to the defending Vehicle's armor + hull.
Example1: 1. The Marines player decides he wants to ram Call on her Motorcycle with his APC at the
Landing Pad. Both Vehicles are undamaged.
2. The APC moves to that location. The Rogue player calculates the Motorcycles defense: 5 (base speed)+1
(in Open) +1 (Non-Enclosed Vehicle) = 7 Defense.
3. The Marines player rolls a 6 to hit which misses.
Example2: 1. During the Rogues turn, they decide to take revenge and ram a damaged APC with the
Prisoner Transport. Lets say that the APC is damaged; its armor value is currently 3.
2. The Prisoner Transport moves to the APCs location. The Marines APC defense is a 6.
3. The Rogue player plays an Overdrive event card which adds +1 to the to hit ram roll. The Rogue player
then rolls a 6 (total 7). It's a hit.
4. The Rogue Transport will take 10 (APC: 7 hull + 3 armor) points of damage, conveniently the Prisoner Transport has
9 armor which resists 9 damage points, leaving 1 point of damage which then reduces the Transports armor by 1.
5. The APC will take 18 (Transport: 7 hull + 9 armor + 2) points of damage, destroying the remaining armor
and leaving 12 points of damage to apply to the hull. The hull resists 7 points of damage, which leaves 5 points
of damage remaining. The hull is reduced to 2, by these 5 remaining points of damage.

Vehicles ramming Characters: A Vehicle may attempt to ram a character at -2 to hit. If the Character
is hit, the Vehicle does armor + hull + 2 damage to the character. The ramming Vehicle takes the character's
total modified power in damage.
Vehicles vs. Binding weapons: Vehicles are unaffected by weapons that bind (unless otherwise stated
on the Binding Item/event). If the Driver of a Vehicle is bound, that Vehicles speed immediately becomes 0.
Vehicles vs. Traps: Vehicles are required to test for Traps just like characters when they enter a trapped
location. Vehicles with a speed of 4 or more subtract 1 to their Trap roll. If a Trap is activated, the damage is
first applied to the Vehicles armor and then to the Vehicles hull.
Vehicle Weapon Rules: Characters on board a Vehicle may choose to fire a Vehicle Weapon instead of
their own weapons. Vehicle weapons may only target characters that are outside of the Vehicle. Vehicle
Weapons are still considered to be items, and thus may be Malfunctioned, etc. Vehicle Weapons may not use
Character Weapon Ammo or Attachments. Vehicle Weapons may be found at locations with the Vehicle Item
resource.
Enclosed Vehicle Rules: The Driver of an Enclosed Vehicle may only be attacked by an enemy character from within the Enclosed Vehicle. A Character inside of an Enclosed Vehicle is not considered to be at the
location the Vehicle is at. Attacks from outside of an Enclosed Vehicle may only be made against the Vehicle
and not against its Driver or passengers. Characters inside of an Enclosed Vehicle may only attack other characters inside of that Vehicle, unless they are using a Vehicle Weapon. Enclosed Vehicles are immune to environmental damage and provide complete protection to its passengers from environmental damage that is occurring
outside of the Vehicle. Similarly, environmental damage occurring inside an Enclosed Vehicle will only affect characters inside that Enclosed Vehicle and not affect characters outside that Enclosed Vehicle.
Example: An Alien inside of an APC is killed and plays Acid Spray. All characters inside the Enclosed Vehicle
potentially take 1 environmental damage, however all characters outside the APC remain unharmed from that Acid
Spray. If an Alien outside the APC played the Acid Spray, then all characters inside the Enclosed Vehicle would be
safe from it.
Predator vs. Vehicles: Predators are a technologically advanced species who hunt for honor and for
sport. While it is legal for a Predator to destroy a vehicle and its occupants it is not very sporting. It requires
much more skill to enter the vehicle and take trophies, than to destroy it from orbit. Therefore, Predator players
gain no honor from characters that are killed through the destruction of the characters vehicle. To offset this
penalty, the Predator player gains 1 CP and 1 honor for every character that the Predator kills within an
unfriendly enclosed vehicle.
Outdoor Locations: For the purposes of Planetfall, Outdoor and Indoor locations may never be adjacent to one
another. Outdoor locations may be placed directly beside another Outdoor location and/or directly beside an Entry
Locations.

Outdoor

Entry

Indoor

Entry

Outdoor

High Cross-Locations (HCL): High

Cross-location: A High Cross-Location (HCL)
is a new type of Location card that represents an alternate path of travel. HCLs are
played horizontally instead of vertically and
have the High resource. HCLs may be placed
directly beside another HCL and/or above
Ground Locations (see the Cross-Location
diagram). Cross-Locations may never be
adjacent to an Entry location. Cross-Locations
may never be placed on the ground level and
vice versa. If a card allows you to switch the
positions of locations in play, you still may not
move a Cross-Location to the ground level,
or a ground level location to a CrossLocation position.
Human and Alien Factions spend 1 MP to
move: from a Ground Location to an adjacent HCL, from a HCL to an adjacent HCL,
or from a HCL to an adjacent ground level
location. The Predator Faction follows normal
HCL rules with the following exception: Predator characters may move from 1 HCL to an adjacent HCL for 0
MPs (note: a character with 0 MPs may not move regardless of the MP cost).
Alien Molting Process: During the Aliens mature phase, in the presence of the Queen, a player may
play a Royal Jelly upon a specified Alien character card (without any Alien tokens on it) and replace it with the
appropriate new upgrade card. The replaced Alien character card is placed directly into your hand. Molted Alien
character cards may not form into Alien Groups but you may have up to 5 copies of each molted character
card in your draw deck instead of the normal 3. Molted Alien character cards may never mature into tokens.
Limited: Limited is a new Atmosphere term that applies only to item cards. Item cards with the term Limited
in their game text are restricted to a maximum of 3 copies of that specific card in the players draw deck.
Rotated Items: Atmosphere introduces weapons (items) that rotate when they are used. Rotated weapons
(items) may not be used after that attack for any reason, until the weapon (item) is readied during the following
ready round. Only items that can legally rotate can be rotated. Therefore, if you play Dead End on a Motion
Scanner that Motion Scanner may not be used until the following ready round.

Faction Briefings
MARINE

PREDATOR - SOLO

A black ops experiment went out of control aboard your military space vessel, the Auriga. The subsequent
combat onboard blew out the reactor shielding and the Auriga crashed into the jungle. You did not have a chance
to terminate the experiment prior to Planetfall. Standard Operation Procedure is to Quarantine the area but you
dont plan on being here when the Quarantine Fields go online.

In the middle of a glorious Hunt, a primitive human space vessel dropped out of orbit and crashed into the jungle. Your shuttle was lost in the crash but you are not concerned, the Huntmaster will send another. You only hope
that enough prey survived the crash. The hunt must continue...

ROGUES

The Hive has been shattered, but the will to proliferate continues on. The Queen was destroyed in the crash and the
hive is in grave danger. A Young Queen must be created and carried away from the danger; taken to a place where
she can proliferate and thrive. This world teems with hosts - it is merely a matter of where to set up the new hive . . .

PREDATOR - PACK

Due to an emergency directive, the section of the Auriga housing the Hive was detached, and it landed in relative safety several miles away from the rest of the Auriga. This Hive is intact and its inhabitants are ready to explore
their lush surroundings.

An entire USMC Black Ops research vessel crash landed a few clicks into the South American Jungle. Highly
privileged information, experimental weapons, and assorted other goodies are there for the taking. What more
could you ask for?
The elders have decreed that more specimens are required. The new strain of Cloned Aliens are smarter and
more adaptable - more study is needed. It is again up to the Hunting Packs to acquire specimens for study.

HIVE ALIENS

CLONED ALIENS:

Planetfall Special Rules

Planetfall is played in a similar manner to Contact, with the following exceptions:
1) At the start of every Ready Round, all players roll a die. On a 1-3, immediately play the top location from your
Location Deck if it is legal. If it is not legal it is added to the discard pile.
2) This scenario consists of 30 turns of gameplay, after which the entire area will be quarantined by the USMC and the
game will end in a draw. Every 5 turns there is a predetermined effect that may not be countered.
3) Predator Player has the choice of playing a Solo Predator or a Hunting Pack.
4) Aliens Player has the choice of playing Hive Aliens or Cloned Aliens.
5) Turn sequence is R-M-P-A, Rogues - Marines - Predator - Aliens.
6) You are not required to play locations that you draw from your Draw Deck as normal, but you may not voluntarily discard these unwanted locations.
7) There is no minimum number of supporting characters required in your draw deck.
8) There is no minimum number of locations required in your draw deck with the sole exception that you are
required to have at least 1 copy of both Operations and Riverbank in your draw deck.
9) Sentry Gun, Self Destruct, Access Space, Powerloader, and Hand Welder are to be used in their modified versions in Planetfall.

10) There may be only 1 activated Sentry Gun, barrier, and/or trap (that you control) per location.
11) Outdoor locations require 7 Aliens (including tokens) to hive, following the normal hiving procedure. In addition,
Hive Construction and Expand the Hive refer to hiving Indoor locations, not Outdoor locations.
12) This is a planetside scenario, therefore the following Space events are banned from this scenario: Calling in the
Favors, Eat Vacuum, Emergency Escape Vessel, Hull Breech, Marines,We Are Leaving, and Recalibrate Ground Level.
13) Access Space and Riverbank may not be played for any reason until the Play Locations phase of Turn 5.
14) All starting locations are considered distinct.
15) Starting Hands: These cards are taken from the draw deck to form a hand prior to the beginning of turn 1.

LOCATION DECK:

Every Player creates a location deck. This deck consists of 4 different Indoor locations, 4 different Outdoor locations, Riverbank and Operations. Shuffle the Location Deck and place Riverbank as the bottom card of this deck. Every
Ready round, you must roll a d6: 1-3, you must play the top location of your Location deck, 4-6 no effect. If it is a
duplicate of a non-distinct location already in play on your string of locations or if there is no legal space for it because
of certain restrictions, this location is discarded to the discard pile. The cards in the Location Deck do not count towards
the 40 cards required for a typical deck.

Unique Timing Events

In Planetfall, like in Countdown, certain events occur every so often throughout the game. Use the turn counter
below to keep track of the current turn, and during the ready round of each turn, check to see if a Unique Timing
Event occurs. These events take place before any cards are readied, and before any player may play any cards.

TURN 5: LANDSCAPE

Riverbank and Access Space can now be legally played. In addition to the normal location roll, all players
must play the top card of their Location Deck, which is discarded if not legally playable.

Character and immediately place it at Tavern. Hive Aliens player may place 2 chestburster tokens on the
Breeding Chamber if there is a Hive Queen present. Predators gain 1 CP per friendly hidden marker in play.

TURN 10: RULES OF THE HUNT

Main Characters and immediately place them at Tavern. Hive Aliens player may place 2 chestburster tokens on
the Breeding Chamber if there is a Hive Queen present.

TURN 20: EXPAND THE HIVE

Hive Aliens can now Hive outdoor locations as if they were indoor locations. The Aliens player may search their
draw/discard decks for 2 Alien Guard characters; these characters can immediately be placed on the Breeding
Chamber if there is a Queen present. All indoor locations gain the Damaged resource. If a Marine is at the Tavern,
Marines player may search his Draw and/or Discard deck for the first 2 Marine Main Characters and immediately place
them at Tavern. All Damaged Predator and Rogue items are now repaired.
