Vacuum-Desiccated Remains
Once per turn, place out-of-play any Ferengi just killed by your opponent's card. Draw cards and/or download Gold-Pressed Latinum: up to three total if a V.I.P., two otherwise. Requires: Ferengi species. Card logging info: Logged by openCards team at May 1st, 2009. |  |

Different races have different ways of dealing with their fallen. The Klingons have their Death Yell (scoring 5 points), the Bajorans light candles and such as part of Duranja (scoring points equal to INTEGRITY).
And... the Ferengi sell the deceased at auction.
The good news for you the player, is that while you won't get any points directly from your just-killed personnel, you can get some extra card draws or Gold-Pressed Latinum -- two for most fallen entrepreneurs, three if they were a distinguished V.I.P. Best of all, you can mix and match, taking one card draw and one Latinum if you want.
Combos:
- Vacuum-Desiccated Remains + 1st Rule of Acquisition: Your personnel goes out of play, and your download comes out of your discard pile - not bad for weeding cards for Ore Processing or Regenerate.
- Vacuum-Desiccated Remains + HQ: Ferengi Commerce Exchange: Download the Latinum, and your dead Ferengi is worth points after all.
