Once the Condominium is constructed, the Corpex Group starts to build luxury villas and hunting lodges around the Nature Preserve. The value of all territories with a direct border to the Nature Preserve increases by 1 Victory Point.
Players who have a contract with these groups of colonists enjoy special benefits:
Privilege of the Adamant Cutters:
If the player has a privilege card and the privilege card of the next higher value comes up for sale he may swap his card for the higher privilege. The privilege card he had before gets sold by auction to the other players instead. The owner of the Condominium is excluded from this auction. The winner of the auction pays his bid into the bank.
Spice Merchants have Trade Privileges with the bank:
The player who contracts the Spice Merchants may exchange any type of resource for a more common resource at the bank at the rate of one for one anytime.

Fluidum Brewers are skilled in Terraforming:

1.) When the player builds a harvester, the machine will produce one additional unit of the territory's resources.
2.) All power hubs in possession of the player have a maximum capacity of 3.
If the player loses his contract with the Mechanics he will no longer be able to increase energy production over the baseload (the limit that is given on the respective Power Hub card). However: The hubs keep providing energy to cities even if it's over that limit.

The price for this action is a credit card of any value and is to be paid into the bank.
1.) Compensation limits for a friendly takeover
Prevents a player from moving all his credit cards to a partner by making extremely high bids for a takeover and pay an excessive compensation to his "victim".
There is a maximum limit to the amount of credits with which a territory can be taken over:
Territory size: 1 land stone: 6 credits
Territory size: 2 land stones: 10 credits
Territory size: 3 land stones: 14 credits
Territory size: 4 land stones: 18 credits
Territory size: 5 land stones: no limit
Example:
Territory size: 2 land stones: 10 credits
Territory size: 3 land stones: 14 credits
Territory size: 4 land stones: 18 credits
Territory size: 5 land stones: no limit
Example:
The maximum amount of credits allowed to take over a territory the size of 3 land stones is 14 credits. Any higher bid is to be ignored.
If there are several highest bids, the Harbour Master decides who wins the auction.

2.) One overland connection per player
To avoid that a player deliberately creates a chain of overland-connections through the territories of a partner in order to grant him points:
A player may only have 1 overland connection passing through the territory of the same player. A second overland connection has to go through a different player's territory.
