CLEAVER [O:Warp:A] SPLITS ASTEROIDS, OR DESTROYS THEM Jack Reda (Asteroids)
You have the power to split. Whenever you are the main player, you may cleave an asteroid in play. The asteroid immediately gets split into two asteroids with the same power (add another marker, and place the accompanying marker on the appropriate power). The new marker gets placed one system clockwise from where the original is located. Your split must occur after asteroids have rotated. On any subsequent turn where you are a main player, you may cleave duplicate asteroids to destroy them (the marker is removed from the game). You may not destroy the original markers.
History: The Cleavers have spent generations running a business of reducing asteroids to rubble for bargain prices. More recently, they have profited from destroying certain asteroids, and splitting others to double the wealth.
Restriction: Use only in a game with Asteroids.
Timing:
Phase 1
Phase 2 - Destiny
Notes: The recommended experience level for this power is Novice. This is a Rules type power.
MINER [O:Warp:A] USES ASTEROID'S POWER Jack Reda (Asteroids)
You have the power to strip. Whenever there is an asteroid in the system where you are involved in a challenge, you may take the use of the asteroid's power in lieu of your own. No other player may make use of the asteroid's power.
History: Draining every resource out of an asteroid, the Miner's leave behind empty husks, floating through space. The power they have extracted makes them formidable indeed.
Restriction: Use only in a game with Asteroids. Use in multi-power games.
Timing:
Phase 2 - Destiny
Phase 6 - Allies accept
Notes: The recommended experience level for this power is Novice. This is a Meta type power.
ORBITAL [O:E2.1:A] AFFECTS ASTEROID ROTATION Andrew Plotkin (Asteroids)
You have the power to affect orbits. When Asteroids are rotated in any challenge, you may decree that they all move two hexes to the right instead of one.
History: Spawned among the asteroid belts of a planet less star, the Orbitals learned to weave webs to capture and manipulate their rocky homes. Now they seek to control the mysterious fragments of dead worlds, and spread their influence around the Cosmos.

PROCESSOR [O:Warp:A] CHANGES POWER OF ASTEROID Jack Reda (Asteroids)
You have the power to convert. When an asteroid is moved into any other player's home system, you may exchange the associated power with a random draw from the unused powers. The new power remains with the asteroid when it leaves their system. You may not change the asteroid when it enters your own system.

History: Existing outside of the normal space-time continuum, the Stasis manipulate the universe around them, plucking things out of the flow of time when it suits them. Only they can plan for future events, knowing how and when things will fall into place.
