Supernova

Rare card from Premiere (1994) / Very Rare Foil card from Reflections (2000)

The explosion of a star, usually caused by natural processes toward the end of its life cycle.

You must have Tox Uthat on table. Place atop any mission. Everything there is destroyed (discarded), but leave Mission card underneath for span reference.

Rule notes

Official Runlings:

This event plays only on a Mission card, not on any other location. The mission is not discarded, but remains underneath for span reference only, leaving a spaceline location of unspecified type (neither nor ). None of its game text, icons, card title, etc. remain in effect other than the span. For example, if Wormhole Negotiations is destroyed, you can no longer play a Barzan Wormhole to report ships at that location.

Any cards not affected by Supernova (e.g., staffed Gomtuu, completed Borg objectives), and any cards in play on them, are not discarded.

Tox Uthat's stipulation that you "may play Supernova on a later turn" is a restriction; you may not play Supernova on the same turn you play Tox Uthat even if you have an extra card play or download.

If a mission was assimilated before being destroyed, reversing the effects of Supernova with Persistence of Memory does not unassimilate the mission (just as it does not "unsolve" a mission previously solved). Therefore it still cannot be solved or targeted for assimilation again.

If a mission that corresponds to a time location in play is destroyed by this event, the time location is unaffected. See Temporal Vortex.

Once this event has resolved and destroyed all cards at the mission location, nullifying it with Kevin Uxbridge or moving it with Dr. Q, Medicine Entity has no effect.
