Refresh is broken into two parts (Refresh & Claim) which are resolved in order.

1. Refresh

Ready all of your exhausted technology cards and alien faction cards by flipping them face up. Remove all damage tokens currently on your ships. Pick up all your previously played action cards and return them to your hand. (Your Refresh card stays on the table.)

2. Claim

Collect light from the general supply for each of the following:

• Collect 1 light for each extractor you have on a non-blockaded* planet on the outer ring.

• Collect 2 light for each extractor you have on a non-blockaded* planet on the inner ring.

*A planet is considered blockaded if any ships of a different color than the extractor occupy that sector.

A played Refresh card cannot be returned to your hand by card or explore effects (indicated by this symbol ). Played Refresh cards stay on the table until all players have played their Refresh cards, at which point a rotation occurs. This is covered in the end of round section.
