[A226-235] Aphasia to Aqueduct

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. Way link!

THE ENTRIES:
[226] aphasia device (no card required)
[227] aphasia virus
[228] aphasia
[229] Apnex Sea
[230] "Apocalypse Rising" 

NOTES: 
[226] This and the next two cards are sourced from "Babel". Aphasia Device already exists as a dilemma in the Deep Space Nine expansion.
[227] This especially a problem if you've caught the aphasia virus.
[228] Complicated? This let's you discard one card so that you can play another. That card play is free and suspends play, but must be played legally. Your Lt. (j.g.) Picard is still yours and under house arrest if replacing opponent's Jean-Luc Picard. Words that appear on more than one card include (but are not limited to) Sacrifice, Shields, Door, Security, Ship, Enterprise, Kivas, Alien and many family names.
[229] An alternative to Office of the Proconsul. It's Kevinable, discardable and stops arrivees, though it allows for a broader range of personnel. Source: The entry references "The Defector", but the image is pulled from Star Trek: Nemesis.
[230] In other words, makes Sisters of Duras infiltrate the Klingons on behalf of the Romulans, Rakal infiltrate the Federation, etc. A Non-Aligned second icon (like on Garak) means that personnel may join any crew or Away Team as long as they come from a Non-Aligned ship or facility. 

And now: I think I'll have to go to animation for a certain Site.

THE ENTRIES:
[231] Apollinaire, Dr.
[232] Apollo-class starship
[233] Appalacia, USS
[234] aquatic lab
[235] aqueduct systems 
NOTES: 
[231] In case you're wondering: I've built this guy up as a 19th-century sawbones. He's not a very good doctor by 24th-century standards. His download is because he let the Devidians kill people (by being unable to stop them). His convert stun to wound ability is done through malpractice. And his bedside manner... just forget it! From "Time's Arrow, Part II"
[232] Source: The first Apollo-class mentioned in the Ajax in TNG's "Where No One Has Gone Before"
[233] Source: "Star Trek: First Contact"
[234] Amphibious ANIMALs include Amphibious Troi (in AtoZ); aquatic ones include Livingstone and George and Gracie; our only Antedean is Glglglglglgl. First First Contact? Source: While mentioned in TNG's "Genesis", I chose to picture the lab in Prodigy's "Into the Breach, Part I". I therefore changed the name from Aquatics Lab to Cetacean Ops, and then made it more universal to starships because of their proliferation in the franchise.
[235] This Artifact cannot be played at a space location (in a Cryosatellite, for example). The wording implies that only one CIVILIAN may report to Aqueduct per turn even if Red Alert! is in play. Source: Referenced in "Birthright, Part I" - Picard went to a conference on the topic. So it couldn't be a recently-built aqueduct like the one in "The Ensigns of Command".

Next up: Are you scared of spiders?

Cards: We Can't Fill That Order!, Aphasia, Apnex Sea, Undercover, Dr. Apollinaire, USS Apollo, USS Appalacia, Cetacean Ops, Ancient Aqueduct

[A1-5] 'audet IX to Abandoned

Back in the late 90s, when I was deep into the Star Trek Collectible Card Game world, one of the projects I was doing on Decipher's Bulletin Boards was a massive set of dream cards under the banner "AtoZ" (with respect to Mr. Atoz of "All Our Yesterdays"). Essentially, I took the Star Trek Encyclopedia and attempted to create an ST CCG dream card for every entry, unless the character or concept already had a card, and I think at the time, Decipher didn't have access to TOS and the movies, so those seem to be excluded as well. I got to the middle of the M's, which accounts for thousands of cards. But the thing, see, is that none of those cards had graphics. They were all just text-based. Recently, I reconnected with the ST CCG community, some of them working with the Continuing Committee, which is still making new cards. They hooked me up with excellent templates from which to bring dream cards to life. And so I've gone back to my notes a...

[A147-155] Amphibian to Ancestral Spirits

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. Hey, our first persona... THE ENTRIES: [147] amphibian [148] AMU [149] analeptic [150] anapestic tetrameter NOTES:  [147] She is a persona of Deanna Troi. Source: "Genesis" [148] Why if Range greater than 6? First, it encourages slower ships who need to see the outside of a binder. Second, because those ships have the bigger warp core, which leaks worse stuff. Source: "Threshold" [149] Of course, your personnel may still be mortally wounded. Hypospray's other uses cannot be used during the battle while the Event is in play - treat event's text as another "OR" clause on the equipment. Source: "Rise" [150] One function per foot in a line ;-) . Source: "Schisms" And now: Ooh, I get to skip everyone's favorite Gothic romance ghost! THE ENTRIES: [151] anaphasic life-form (no card requ...

[A166-175] Andorian to Angel One

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 Andorian stuff... THE ENTRIES:  [166] Andorian blues [167] Andorian transport [168] Andorian tuber root [169] Andorians [170] android (no card required) But perhaps you want the icons reversed: NOTES:  [166] Since INTEGRITY is the most difficult attribute to boost... And note that it plays as a download - from hand - suspending play rather than costing a card play. Source: "Unification Part I" [167] Why dual-aligned if one of the icons is going to be Non-Aligned? Well, for purposes of many cards, it counts as both, so it's as vulnerable to Maman Picard as it is to Neural Servo Device. An experiment. Source: "Rules of Acquisition" [168] Wha--?!? All you need is 5 more points to get a victory? You have a Klingon Death Yell in hand? You figure it out. Source: "Second Sight" [169] Shrev is an invention b...
