    A nemesis relationship is defined by opposing nemesis icons (two such icons which are the same color but pointing in different directions). If two or more personnel with opposing nemesis icons are present with each other at the end of a player’s turn, that player must choose one of them to be immediately killed.

    BEHIND THE SCENES:
    The nemesis icon began life as a “recluse” icon specific to Dr. Soong. However, midway through development we realized that it would be a lot more interesting to explore the relationship between Soong and his prodigal “son,” and thus the nemesis icon was born. This icon is designed to accommodate a few other specific nemesis relationships in future expansion sets.
