Index -> Playing the Game -> Voting Sessions
Ship combat and galactic conquest are important aspects of the game, but no more so than the political machinations of the Star Chamber itself. After every six turns, a voting session is called before the next turn begins. (For example, a voting session occurs between turns 6 and 7, turns 12 and 13, turns 18 and 19, etc.)
All entities at the Star Chamber that have influence become voters that provide votes equal to that influence. In addition, some cards provide votes in other ways.
During a voting session, the normal Game Screen is replaced by a Voting Screen. The voting screen retains the Player Info Boxes, Hand Area, Chat Log, Tech Status, and Galaxy Status, just like the main Game Screen, but switches to an interface for casting your votes.
