Victory Conditions:
Victory is determined by the total number of victory points at the conclusion of The Four Years War campaign. View the Victory Point Table to determine the total points awarded. Additional points are awarded to the Klingon player for every 100 troops successfully landed on the planet.

SPECIAL RULES:

Beaming Down:
For every 100 Klingon troops beamed to the planet, the Klingon player(s) gain and additional victory point. To beam troops down, the appropriate ship must be within 2 hexes of the planet and must have their shield down for 1 full turn. Any damage accumulated to a ship in the process of beaming troops cuts the total number of troops beaming down in that turn by half. If the ship is destroyed during the beam down process, all troops in transit are considered lost.
Ending:
The scenario ends on turn 12 due to the arrival of Federation reinforcements.
