Card
Text

You dissolve the Senate and prepare for war!

You may discard any unplayed card that is not a warhead or weapon system (as many as you like). Immediately draw back up to nine cards, then clear Secrets.

Drawing this card forces you to discard Congressional Oversight", if you have played it; nor can you benefit from it in the future.


Additional Notes and Information:

Who would have thought that Star Wars would be so fruitful as inspiration for NukeWar? This card is drawn, of course, from Grand Moff Tarkin's ominous line.

The icon is a modified version of the one from Congressional Oversight. Note now that the Senators have their hands on their heads as the troops threaten them. The gavel (a symbol of law and order, of course) lies discarded on the floor, and the flag of Fleebonia flies at half-mast.

Logically enough, if you've disbanded the Senate you can't benefit from their oversight, which is why that card is now denied to you.
