[A266-275] Argos to Ariana

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 still going "Arg"...

THE ENTRIES:

[266] Argos System
[267] Argosian Sector
[268] Argosian
[269] Argratha
[270] Argrathi 

NOTES: 
[266] Throwing some villain affiliations a bone, here. Source: TNG's "Silicon Avatar"
[267] Reads like a mission for the Cerritos! Source: DS9's "Babel"
[268] A Treaty hoser. Owner may choose to stun rather than mortally wound, but it'll be hard avoiding the end of battle kill. Source: "Dax", but the pic is from "Behind the Lines"
[269] A "matching" Espionage card is a card that starts with your attempting affiliation's name. Ex: If Romulans are attempting, any Romulan on... Espionage card will do the trick. It can be played as an interrupt and discarded upon mission solving. (No need to play it before all the dilemmas are cleared; it's a mission requirement, not an attempt requirement.) Source: DS9's "Hard Time"
[270] The Away Team is still stopped by the lack of Law x2, no matter what the probe result. Source: "Hard Time"

And now: The Enterprise-D's first recurring Chief Engineer.

THE ENTRIES:
[271] Argus Array (no card required)
[272] Argus sector
[273] Argyle, Lieutenant Commander
[274] Ari (no card required)
[275] Ariana 
NOTES: 
[271] Already exists in the game as the Basic Set's Repair Mission.
[272] So yes, your ship gets Cytherianed, but at least you might free a captive out of it. Source: "Gambit, Part I"
[273] If at any time, Argyle is filtered out of (or eliminated from) an Away Team, Lore will no longer cooperate. Source: He appears in three episodes, but the shot is from his first in "Where No Man Has Gone Before".
[274] Already exists as a Cardassian personnel in the Deep Space Nine expansion.
[275] Ariana's attribute enhancements' target may be declared at any point. I probably planned Arrange Marriage for "Haven", and it would have worked for "Cost of Living", but I completely dropped the ball on this card and it will therefore be in Broken Links. Source: "Haven"

Next up: When Janeway was still green...

Cards: Track Entity, Complete Star Charts, Bar Brawl, Spy on Non-Aligned World, Argrathi Prison System, Postpone Mission, Argyle, Ariana

[A156-165] Anchilles to Andorian

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 couple of Program cards, incoming... THE ENTRIES: [156] Anchilles fever [157] Ancient Philosophies [158] Ancient West [159] Andarian glass bead [160] Andevian II  How Decipher handled it, for comparison: NOTES:  [156] Probing on a dilemma doesn't leave you much space to work with, does it? Source: While first mentioned in TNG's "Code of Honor", the virus was pictured in Enterprise's "Cold Station 12". [157] Something to seed yourself? I say "first artifact encountered" because there may be more than one under such missions as Orb Negotiations, and both opponents may have seeded one under the same mission. Source: "The Host" [158] None of the named characters were in the game when I made this card (which is naturally a Program under my scheme). Holodeck Adventures would make it an Incid...

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. 

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. Source: "Take Me Out to the Holosuite" [28] Captain Solok has the matching Nemesis icon. Source: "Take Me Out to the Holosuite" [29] In the list of Food-serving sites in the not to [B17]. U.S.S. Enterprise-D personnel are those that specifically reference the ship in their lore. Other ...
