[A276-285] Arias to Armens

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. When Janeway was still green...

THE ENTRIES:
[276] Arias Expedition
[277] Ariel
[278] Aries, U.S.S.
[279] Arissa
[280] Arjin 

NOTES: 
[276] The Encyclopedia does not cover the expanded canon, so details of this mission given in the novel Mosaic, which would have changed its nature, are here ignored. Source: VOY's "Caretaker"
[277] She does not have to be present or even at the same spaceline location to exercise her option to nullify Matriarchal Society. Source: "Angel One"
[278] You can turn the play of this ship into a "what if" scenario. :-) Source: "The Icarus Factor" and "Identity Crisis"
[279] You can get pesky Romance dilemmas off her, effectively unstopping her. Conversion to INTEGRITY bonus lasts for the rest of the game. The matching green nemesis icon is on Draim. Source: "A Simple Investigation"
[280] Arjin is not a joined Trill. Source: "Playing God"

And now: While we wait for Hutch...

THE ENTRIES:
[281] Arkaria Base
[282] Arkarian water fowl
[283] Arlin, Lysia
[284] "Armageddon Game"
[285] Armens, Treaty of 

NOTES: 
[281] A reason to play Baryon Buildup on yourself? Meta-game-wise, your opponent will think twice before Baryoning you if Baryon Sweep is on the spaceline. The Baryon Buildup discarded is of course the one on the ship. If there is more than one on the same ship, they are all discarded. Source: TNG's "Starship Mine"
[282] The Water Fowl becomes a tasty meal. It can download its mate. Source: "Starship Mine"
[283] Had to do a bit of compositing as she was only ever mentioned. Creates another Food-serving Site. Jumja Sticks turn up later in AtoZ. Source: Mentioned in "Shadowplay"
[284] The Event affects ALL the married couples in play on your side of the table. Gives an incentive to use Keiko, Beverly Picard, Giral, etc. The discard to expose an infiltrator (read: O'Brien Founder) is voluntary, not automatic. Source: "Armageddon Game"
[285] Counters a number of strategies like seeding artifacts at your outpost's location, seeding few or no planet missions, and seeding multiple outposts (since you can target a second outpost even if opponent complies). Also note that your Sheliak that has to wait for the Facility phase still gets to be seeded. If there are no available planets to seed it, it has to be mis-seeded. Sorry. Looks like I made this card just as the first Incident was released because I never availed myself of the possibility before. Source: "The Ensigns of Command"

Next up: The first man on the Moon gets his due.

Cards: Arias Expedition, Ariel, USS Aries, Arissa, Arjin, Baryon Sweep, Arkarian Water Fowl, Lysia Arlin, I Know My Husband!, Treaty of Armens

    Still enjoying these! It looks like cards 276 and 284 are missing though.

[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 ...
