Multi-affiliation cards

multi-affiliation cards –
Multi-affiliation cards have two or more affiliation icons. Their skills and other features may differ according to their current affiliation “mode.” Declare the affiliation of a multi-affiliation card when you seed or play it face-up (personnel or ship affiliation must be compatible with the facility where it reports; an outpost’s affiliation must match an affiliation icon on the mission) or when you earn it (if seeded under a mission).
A multi-affiliation card (including a dual-personnel card) may use only one affiliation at a time, but you may change its affiliation at any time (between other game actions), any number of times during the course of the game. For example, Lursa on the Sisters of Duras cannot be Klingon Affiliation while B’Etor is Romulan Affiliation; if Major Rakal encounters Zaldan while in Federation Affiliation mode, she cannot change to Romulan Affiliation mode during the mission attempt.
When a multi-affiliation personnel is aboard your ship or facility, you may not change the affiliation of either the Personnel card or the ship/facility if it would cause that personnel to be placed under house arrest. You must remove the personnel from the ship/facility before changing its affiliation. You may not simultaneously change the affiliations of one or more Personnel cards, ships, and/or facilities; each change is a separate game action. Thus, if the Sisters of Duras are aboard the Cha’Joh, both in Romulan mode, you may not change either the Sisters of Duras or the Cha’Joh to Klingon mode without removing the Sisters first.
If a multi-affiliation personnel, whose features are dependent on their affiliation mode, is assimilated or made Non-Aligned (e.g., by Memory Wipe), they may still switch “modes” as a game action.
In the Voyager and later expansion sets, dual-affiliation cards are printed with two different border colors, one for each affiliation. The affiliation icon matching the border color appears on the left in each case. A card with one border color is a copy of the same card title with the other border color, and they have identical gameplay.
If a report or download requires a personnel’s affiliation to match a ship or facility, you must report or download the personnel in matching affiliation mode (without creating a house arrest situation). For example, to use Dominion War Efforts to download Dar without discarding Assign Support Personnel, you must download him in Dominion Affiliation mode to a Dominion Affiliation ship or facility. If you download him in Hirogen mode to a Hirogen Affiliation ship or facility, you must discard Assign Support Personnel.
