    It's the next best thing to a cloaking device, and it works on a dozen different ships! With Magnetic North in play on your ship, you can relax even if your opponent's entire armada is mobilized. As long as you want to stay in orbit at one planet location, Magnetic North will protect you from attack. Once you've score your points, you can move on to your next stop and use another Magnetic North to hide again.

    Combo:

    • Magnetic North + opponent's Mission Debriefingimage: They may be able to stop you before you can run back to your outpost, but they can't battle you.
