Assimilation – planet

assimilation – planet –
When you assimilate a planet, any opposing personnel, equipment, and landed ships on that planet are assimilated. Any opposing facilities at that location, all personnel and equipment in or aboard a facility, and all ships docked at a facility are also assimilated. Personnel and equipment aboard a docked or landed ship are not assimilated. The affiliation of an assimilated facility changes to Borg Affiliation, and you may report cards to it in accord with normal native quadrant reporting rules.
If your Survey Drone, Sixteen of Nineteen, is on the planet when it is assimilated, it may acquire any seeded artifacts. If not, any artifacts (or cards seeded like artifacts) are placed face up on the planet and may be later acquired by your Survey Drone or by any non-Borg Affilliation personnel present. Mission attempts may not be made at assimilated planets, and the mission affiliation icons become irrelevant (facilities requiring a matching affiliation icon may no longer be built there).
