==FAQ==
Q: Do Core tokens count as attachments? 
A: No, the Core tokens provided by the MANTLE CRACKING faction ability are not attachments. They function closer to a Stellar Converter's destroyed planet token than an attachment reminder token. Core tokens are placed on the planet and permanently modify the printed resource and influence value of that planet, replacing those base values with 2 resources and 0 influence, respectively. 
Q: Mantle Cracking states that it gives 'up to 4' trade goods. Does this mean that I can only gain the 4 trade goods if it brings my total to 4? 
A: No, Mantle Cracking allows the GLEdge player to gain their choice of 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 trade goods from this ability. Typically they will choose to gain 4, but there may be game situations that make it better to gain less. 
Q: What happens to Core tokens and the GLEdge Base promissory note if the GLEdge player is eliminated? 
A: Similarly to the Titans' promissory note covered by LRR 33.10.d, GLEdge Base will remain in play beyond the GLEdge players' elimination. Core tokens will also remain in place, and the CELESTIAL RECLAMATION faction ability's effect persists even after the GLEdge faction sheet has been returned to the box. 
Q: What happens If the GLEdge Union runs out of Core tokens? 
A: Once the GLEdge Union uses all 3 Core tokens, they have no way to use their Mantle Cracking faction ability. There is no way to pick up, replenish, or move Core tokens. 
==Trivia==
*During development, many other contributing members for Discordant Stars found the name "GLEdge" clunky and unappealing to say. However despite this, Vorox refused to change the name.
*According to Vorox, the "G," "L", and "E" are supposed to be capitalized, i.e. "GLEdge."
*The original name for the GLEdge Union was "The GLEdge Mining Conglomerate."
