[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

[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...
