Rule notes

Official Runlings:

When played for its last function, this doorway relocates only one ship, one time. Although it has a countdown icon, it cannot perform any additional relocations during the countdown. (Play the doorway on the ship, and discard it at the end of the countdown.)

If played on a Borg Ship when encountered, the dilemma does not attack (so your cards are not "stopped"), nor does it attack when it reappears after the countdown expires or if the doorway is "closed."

If a mission that corresponds to a time location in play is destroyed by a Supernova, the location remains the "corresponding spaceline location" for time travel using this doorway.
