Full publisher description

A new challenger enters the Arena: boarding pirates! Never get too close to a BlackHole! The BlackHole expansion introduces a brand-new faction, plus two tactical sponsors: Safer Space, which makes the richest player even richer. Live 4D, which turns shields into a source of points! Mix and match with all base game content. Play with up to 5 players (or 6 if you also have the Glyphon expansion). description from the publisher
