Apocalypse Rising Virtual Pack

I didn't do this for EVERY letter, but the first two AtoZ "expansions" had working booster packs of 15 cards, sorted like so: 11 commons (of 100 possibilities), 3 uncommons (of 100 possibilities) and 1 rare (of 113 possibilities). Which means that every time you refresh this page, you will get a different distribution of cards! Makes a nice palate cleanse before heading into the Encyclopedia's B's. Note that Enhanced Apocalypse Rising would have been 4 special packs with set card lists, and A's Broken Links would have come in a 40-page box, so those cards aren't in the booster.

[B56-60] Bandi to Bantan

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. Odo was watching, but Sisko found it... THE ENTRIES: [56] Bandi [57] Baneans [58] Baneriam hawk [59] bantaca [60] bantan Decipher's version, for comparison: NOTES:  [56] Note that both ends have different game text. The downloaded facility is immediately built and ignores the normal rule of matching each facility with affiliation icons on the mission (since there are none). You can still not build a Neutral Outpost (space only) at this location. Source: TNG's "Encounter at Farpoint" [57] I guess a current-day game environment would add Amelia Moon to the detective list. Was later made as Expose Plot in the Voyager expansion (included for comparison). Source: VOY's "Ex Post Facto" [58] Source: Referenced in "If Wishes Were Horses", but the picture is from "A Man Alone" [59] Planet may not be moved b...

[B51-55] Balosnee to Banana Split

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. Hope you left room for dessert... THE ENTRIES: [51] Balosnee VI [52] balso tonic [53] Balthus, Dr. [54] Baltrim [55] banana split NOTES:  [51] Yes, that is total attributes LESS than 20. Source: DS9's "The Nagus" [52] It can still report to Food serving Sites, no problem. Source: "The Host" [53] Source: Referenced in "Night Terrors", I grabbed a random character in Ten-Forward. [54] Baltrim must be on Jerrado's surface to be worth points. Source: "Progress" [55] Note that this will affect Jono and Wesley if they are anywhere in play, even if on opponent's side of the table. Food Fight will be covered in this expansion's Broken Links (I suppose it was meant for Suddenly Human's entry). Source: "Suddenly Human" Next up: Odo was watching, but Sisko found it... Cards: Experience Hallu...

[B46-50] Baktun to Ballard

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. Ever wonder about the aliens in Worf's calisthenics program? THE ENTRIES: [46] baktun [47] Baldoxic vinegar [48] Balduk warriors [49] Balfour Lake [50] Ballard, Lieutenant  NOTES:  [46] Extremely useful to the Dominion (Ketracel White does not count down) and in conjunction with a number of Events and Objectives. Watch out for the double-edged sword though: dilemmas with countdowns will turn out to be permanent, and the card affects both players. Time-traveling includes the use of Temporal Rifts as well as movement to Time Locations. The Blade of Tkon may have been acquired by either player. Source: "The Last Outpost" [47] The vinegar makes things go better together. So Lore can cooperate with the Federation after all, O'Brien can hang with Cardassians, Odo can use hand weapons, and so on. Source: "Tattoo" [48] I extrapol...

[B41-45] Bajoran to Baktag

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. Moving away from Bajor... THE ENTRIES: [41] Bajoran wormhole (no card required) [42] Bajorans (no card required) [43] baked potato [44] baked Risan beans [45] baktag  NOTES:  [41] Already exists as a Doorway in the Deep Space Nine expansion. [42] Sufficiently covered by the Bajoran Outpost from that same expansion. [43] If a Food card at your Ten-Forward is giving your personnel present +1 STRENGTH, for example, your intruders on opponent's Nor would also benefit from this "side dish". Source: Baked potatoes have been seen or mentioned in a number of episodes, including VOY's "The Chute" and DS9's "You Are Cordially Invited". [44] The card doesn't need a personnel present to be in play at Risa. It does need a Food-serving Site (on a ship in orbit), however. Source: "The Chute" [45] The Klingon ...

[B36-40] Bajoran Militia to Bajoran Time of Cleansing

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. More Bajoran cards... THE ENTRIES: [36] Bajoran Militia (no card required) [37] Bajoran provisional government [38] Bajoran solar-sail vessel [39] Bajoran system (no card required) [40] Bajoran Time of Cleansing  NOTES:  [36] This is the entry that discusses the Bajoran Phaser and Bajoran Phaser Rifle, both cards already published in the Deep Space Nine expansion. [37] An "HQ" is an actual Headquarters facility, not the various HQ Objectives and Events. Determine the nearest one by counting the number of spaceline locations. In case of a tie, go by Span numbers. The effect is permanent. Source: "Rapture" [38] The ship cannot normally leave a region. Source: "Explorers" [39] Already exists as Acquire Illicit Explosives (Deep Space Nine expansion). I reversed it on the mission attributed to Bajor VIII (card B23). [40] You...

[B31-35] Bajoran First Minister to Bajoran Military Academy

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. More Bajoran support? Yep! THE ENTRIES: [31] Bajoran First Minister [32] Bajoran Gratitude Festival [33] Bajoran impulse ship (no card required) [34] Bajoran Institute of Science [35] Bajoran Military Academy  Decipher's version for comparison:  NOTES:  [31] This Shakaar actually has Silarin Prin's matching nemesis icon non-retroactively. The Trouble with Tribbles explanion supplied its own version (included for comparison). Source: "Return to Grace" [32] "Giving points" includes any time a card makes you give points or cards with point boxes to your opponent. Source: "Fascination" [33] Exists as the Bajoran Interceptor in the Deep Space Nine expansion. Imagine my disappointment when I realized these two ships were one and the same. [34] I thought it interesting if the Bajorans had a choice of HQ. Source: Refere...

[B26-30] Bajoran Central Archives to Bajoran Death Chant

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. Ok, now we can land on Bajor proper... THE ENTRIES: [26] Bajoran Central Archives [27] Bajoran Chamber of Ministers (no card required) [28] Bajoran communicator [29] Bajoran Days of Atonement [30] Bajoran death chant  A very similar design later made by Decipher: NOTES:  [26] "Your homeworld" is a homeworld for which you have an matching facility on spaceline. Not gonna lie, young Siskoid should probably have made this a Doorway. Source: Referenced many times (DS9's "Babel", Duet", "The Collaborator", et al.), but never seen. Since the effect was made for ANY affiliation, I went with the Starfleet Archives seen in Picard, specifically the episode "Remembrance" [27] Exists as a facility in the Deep Space Nine expansion. [28] Both OFFICERs must be Bajoran. Something like this was made as the Classic Com...

[B21-25] Bahrat to Bajoran

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. We're very close to Bajor, but not entirely there yet... THE ENTRIES: [21] Bahrat [22] Bajor (mirror) [23] Bajor VIII [24] Bajor (no card required) [25] Bajoran assault vessel  (no card required) Decipher's version for comparison:  NOTES:  [21] Always calculate a 20% gain in points while he's on the table. The Nekrit Supply Depot would have been an Outpost for Delta Quadrant Non-Aligned cards; I didn't get there. Source: "Fair Trade" [22] The Mirror icon on the mission itself is important to note. That mission can only be played on the Mirror spaceline. It can coexist with Alter Records (the real Bajor), but is not part of the Bajor region, and is not a homeworld. The Mirror, Mirror expansion gave us Disrupt Alliance for this location, which contradicts some of this (included for comparison). Source: DS9's "Crossov...

[B16-20] Bacillus Spray to Bahgol

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. Oh, I get a chance to do something with one of my favorite movies... THE ENTRIES: [16] bacillus spray [17] Badar N'D'D [18] Badlands (no card required) [19] BaH [20] bahgol  NOTES:  [16] Even Altonian Brain Teaser will not affect a Particle Fountain protected thus. Note that you can either protect Drought Tree from nullification OR double its points. Not both. Source: "All Good Things..." [17] Food harboring sites include Quark's Bar, Replimat, Ten-Forward and Mess Hall. This Personnel allows you to "upkeep" a personnel just like a Food card, that is: reporting that card directly to the site and replacing it in hand at any time or when Badar N'D'D leaves the site. I would reserve this honor to personnel boosters. Did you know this was Marc Alaimo's (Dukat) first Star Trek role? Fuuuuuuuuuunnnnny! Despite A...

[B11-15] Balt'masor to Baccarat

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. Sarek will have to get involved... THE ENTRIES: [11] Ba'ltmasor Syndrome [12] baakonite [13] Babel Conference [14] "Babel" [15] baccarat  NOTES:  [11] A MEDICAL personnel cannot count as MEDICAL present for itself. Source: "The Drumhead" [12] "Disruptors" includes Klingon Disruptor and Klingon Disruptor Rifle. Source: "Blood Oath" [13] The only TNG reference to the Babel Conference in the Encyclopedia is from "Sarek", to the effect that Sarek spoke in favor of the Coridan admission and is credited with passage of the measure. Source: "Journey to Babel" [14] Entries led me to making several cards based on "Babel"'s core concept. This splits an away team or crew into multiple away teams and crews until the countdown expires. Split Away teams must continue the mission attempt...

[B6-10] B'rel to Ba'el

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time.  A ship, but not two... THE ENTRIES:   [6] B'rel-class bird-of-prey [7] B'tardat [8] B'Zal [9] B-Type warbird (no card required) [10] Ba'el (no card required)  Decipher's version for comparison:  NOTES:  [6] Based on the Cha'Joh. It can be carried about Voo'dieh and Vor'Cha class ships. The B'rel made it into the official game with the Rules of Acquisition expansion as a Ferengi ship (included for comparison). Source: "Rascals" [7] If B'tardat ever leaves the personnel in stasis, it is cured of that condition. Source: "Half a Life" [8] Transferable cards include Baryon Buildup, Activate Tractor Beam, Incoming Message and Tsiolkovsky Infection. It does not transfer Personnel or Equipment aboard a ship. It's played ON ship, not played/moved TO ship. Source: "Bloodlines" [9] This...

[B1-5] B'aht to B'Nar

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. The "B" expansion was called By Inferno's Light. It includes an awful lot of Bajoran and Borg entries, but first, some B's with apostrophes...  THE ENTRIES: [1] B'aht Qul challenge [2] B'Etor (no card required) [3] B'hala [4] B'iJik (no card required) [5] B'Nar  Decipher's for comparison:  NOTES:  [1] All STRENGTH determinations are made after modifiers. Source: "The Chase" [2] Decipher had a B'Etor card as early as the Basic Set. [3] Like the Rommies' Apnex Sea except for the Bajorans. Decipher eventually made The City of B'hala as an Artifact in the Holodeck Adventures expansion (included for comparison). Source: "Rapture" [4] A B'iJik card was available in the Basic Set. [5] No Res-Qs, no Palor Toffs, no Are These Truly Your Friends, Brother, no Regenerate, et al. The d...
