In High Frontier (4th Edition) you represent a space enterprise, in the near future, spanning about 100 years from now. Your goal is to initiate the exploration and industrialization of the solar system.
Module 2 - Colonization introduces orbital space colonies called Bernals and space pioneers called Colonists. These two types of cards extend the core game to go beyond industrializing and exploiting the resources of the solar system to colonizing and settling the solar system. Bernals upgrade your Colonies to give you extra Victory Points, according to the Hydration of nearby Factories. They also award Colonists, which you can take to Sites to perform extra Operations there.
