Saboteur

Saboteur (formerly Terrorist) is an alien with the power to Booby Trap.

Edition Power Text History
CC Game Setup: Take one trap token and two decoy tokens per player (including yourself). Place these tokens facedown next to any planets of your choice. Place no more than one token next to a given planet.
You have the power to Booby Trap. Any time ships land on a planet with one of your tokens next to it, use this power to reveal the token. If the revealed token is a decoy, return the token to this sheet. If the token is a trap, send all ships on the planet (including those that just landed) to the warp and then return the token to this sheet.
At the start of each encounter, you may either swap any two of your tokens (whether next to a planet or on this sheet) or take a token on this sheet and place it facedown next to any planet that doesn't already have one of your tokens next to it.
Long demented by the magnetic unbalance of their own planet, the Saboteurs can see no way but their own and are determined to achieve it by violence.

Tokens[]

In previous editions, Saboteur had to mark which planets were trapped with pencil and paper. In the current edition, the expansion that includes Saboteur also includes special tokens, marked on one side as traps or decoys, that it places near planets to mark them as trapped.
