Plague is an artifact that is used on any player, at the start of any encounter, to force him or her to lose three ships to the warp and discard one card of each type. (For reference, the card types are: negotiate, attack, morph, reinforcement, artifact, flare, kicker, retreat, intimidate, rift.)

Note that "encounter" is not a card type itself, but a category of types. Thus, if a player has a Plague played on him or her and his or her hand contains 1012 N  N , just discarding a  N  will not be enough; the player must discard the 10 or 12 as well to satisfy the requirement of "one card of each type."

History[]

In the Eon edition, the Plague could be used at any time. In the current edition, it is only usable during the Regroup phase, so a player who wants to play a Plague must do so before they know who will come up for destiny.
