  • A player cannot have more commodities than their commodity value.
  • If the Empyrean player plays a player’s Trade Agreement promissory note, this will count for that player giving the Empyrean player all their commodities.
  • The trade goods gained from Dark Pact are gained simultaneously with the commodities transacted between the two players. As a pair of players is limited to one transaction per turn (which must involve the active player) or per agenda, the two players cannot then perform a transaction for these trade goods on the same turn.
  • As the trade goods from Dark Pact are gained simultaneously with any commodities and/or trade goods transacted, the Mentak player may only use their PILLAGE ability on each player once per Dark Pact transaction.
  • Dark Pact has no effect while it is in a player’s hand.
  • Dark Pact is returned when the system is activated, even if the active player will perform no hostile acts towards the Empyrean player this turn.
  • Activating a system containing only the Empyrean player’s structures will still cause Dark Pact to be returned.
  • If an effect other than activating a system during a tactical action places a command counter in a system with the Empyrean player’s units (for example, the primary ability of the Diplomacy strategy card), this will not cause Dark Pact to be returned.
