MUTINEER [O:FFGfo] Causes Uprisings To Win Jon Gon (Alternate Win)
You have the power of rebellion. In any regroup phase you can place one negotiate card from your hand in front of any planet in any system. Whenever a wild destiny card is drawn you can activate a riot in any planet where you have a negotiate card. Discard the negotiate card and place one cosmic token in the planet to mark him as a rebel planet. All ships on it are now considered rebel and they belong to no player. When a rebel planet is attacked, the offensive player plays a regular encounter card from his hand and then draws from the deck until an encounter card comes up for the rebels. The encounter is then resolved as usual (Compensations are paid to the discard pile and drawn from the deck). When rebel ships go to the warp they return to their owners possession. You can ally with the rebels every time they are attacked and play an encounter card for them (instead of drawing from the deck). When there are 5 (4 in 4 planets variant) rebel planets active you win the game. You can also win via the normal manner.

The downside is that if you're invited by both main players you must ally with one of them. In any regroup phase if you have no ships in the warp you discard one cosmic token. If you discard all tokens you win the game. You can also win via the normal manner.

Each then draws replacement cards from the deck equal to the number of cards they donated to you. If you receive fewer than the required number of cards, draw the remainder from the deck.
If you lose an encounter as a main player or ally, you use this power to force your opponent to give you a card. If they do not, choose a card from the discard pile, adding it to your hand, or draw from the deck if there is no discard pile.
