[A6-10] Ablative Armor to Acamar III

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. Still in the A's of the Star Trek Encyclopedia...

THE ENTRIES:
[6] ablative armor
[7] academy commandant
[8] Academy Flight Range
[9] academy range officer
[10] Acamar III 

Ablative Armor did get its own card in the Holodeck Adventures expansion. Let's compare!
NOTES:
[6] My version of Ablative Armor doesn't do a thing for Dilemmas or Missions that require certain shields. In any case, Decipher's solution is clearer than mine.
[7] I'm breaking a Decipher rule here by not giving him some invented name. Personnel don't generally go by title alone. Red Squad personnel would eventually be designed, but I don't think I got to make many because of alphabetical concerns. I really wanted it to say "Red Squad Personnel", but this is the first instance where my knack for slightly long game text forced me to simplify things to fit the bounding boxes.
[8-9] Tractor Beam is included because a large enough ship has to bring the training craft. In these cases, I did make some slight changes to bring the card in line with later game text, namely changing the region to Sector 001 as opposed to "Solar System". The source for both cards is, of course, "The First Duty".
[10] Acamar III is in the Acamar Region because the Encyclopedia also has an entry for Acamar system. Source: "The Vengeance Factor".

Let's keep going, it's a big book!

Cards: Ablative Armor, Academy Commandant, Academy Flight Exercises, Academy Range Officer, Meet With Leader

By Inferno's Light Virtual Pack

I didn't do this for EVERY letter, but the first few AtoZ "expansions" had working booster packs of 15 cards, sorted like so: 11 commons (of 112 possibilities), 3 uncommons (of 117 possibilities) and 1 rare (of 107 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 C's. Note that Enhanced By Inferno's Light would have been 5 special packs with set card lists, and B's Broken Links would have come in a 40-page box, so those cards aren't in the booster.

Broken Links [BL-B26-30] Species 8472 to The Net

More Broken Links... This time: 8472! BROKEN LINKS: [26] Species 8472 [27] Strike! [28] Baseball personnel [29] Ten-Forward [30] The Net NOTES:   [26] Needed to staff Bioships [B+49] and support all those 8472 infiltrators. In personnel battle, hand weapons don't count against them, they can't be negatively affected by Equipment cards. I almost made them unable to mix, but they definitely worked with Voyager a few times, so I've just made it more difficult to do so. Source: "Prey" [27] The card can be nullified by Bunt [B+74]. You either continue without effect, lose a personnel, or get stopped, but a "Ball" result may lose you some cards from the deck.
