A facility is a type of unit in Twilight Imperium Third Edition that was introduced in the Shattered Empire Expansion
There are two types of facilities: Colonies and Refineries
- Refineries increase the resources of the planet by 1
- Colonies increase the Influence of the planet by 1
Facilities may be built (i.e. their card placed) on any non-home non-trade station planet that a player has controlled for an entire game round.
- They may not be built if there are enemy ships in that system
- Building a facility exhausts that planet if not already exhausted
- Facilities cost 1 to produce and are limited to one per planet
There are 8 Colony and 8 Refinery Cards in the Game Box. A player may not create a facility if there are no free cards
If the planet a facility lies on is successfully invaded, it is destroyed
