[A56-65] Akritiri to Alastria

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. Sometimes, the Encyclopedia sends you down a "chute" of connected concepts.

THE ENTRIES:
[56] Akritiri
[57] Akritirian freighter
[58] Akritirian patrol ship
[59] Akritirian prison satellite
[60] Aktuh and Melota

NOTES:
[56] See Akritirian Prison Satellite for full extent of dilemma's powers. It seems I tried to assign a quadrant icon to a dilemma, and I'm not sure it works. I mean, it's needed for the Prison Satellite to play correctly, but you can only be sure you can play it on one of YOUR missions. Maybe I imagined an environment where everyone agreed to play Voyager-only. If I were to design these cards again, the dilemma and Satellite would lose their Akritirian identity and just be typical of any such facility, and therefore playable anywhere. But I'm showing you the designs as they were in the late 90s here.
[57] The source for all Akritirian cards is "The Chute", by the way.
[58] Following the normal Captive rules, of course.
[59] Brainwash, Interrogation, etc. cannot be played on Satellite captives. I really stretched the game text as far as I could!

And now: Geordi sings us a ditty! Going to have fun with a Q-card...

THE ENTRIES:
[61] Al-Batani, USS
[62] Al-Leyan transport
[63] Alan-a-Dale
[64] Alans
[65] Alastria

NOTES:
[61] Janeway's classification is SCIENCE instead of OFFICER and that skill disappears from her skill box. Source: "Caretaker"
[62] You might recognize the ship's pic from the Aliens franchise. That's because I suddenly realized "Al-Leyan" is probably a pun. If you can make your Richard Galen universal, you might be able to multiply those points. Source: "The Chase"
[63] The Q-Dilemma looks like a Ressikan deck hoser (and it is), but it's also an I Am Not a Merry Man attractor that let's all your other Q-cards hit. Source: "Qpid"
[64] The special ability means that if he receives Reflection Therapy, Mot's Advice or Frame of Mind, he can use both skills as a means of getting mission specialist bonuses. The limit of one such bonus per specialist stands, however. Source: "Pen Pals"
[65] I don't believe such seeding restrictions had (have?) ever appeared on a card before. Source: Voyager's "Prime Factors"

Next up: The set's first Artifact!

Cards: Akritiri Imprisonment, Akritirian Freighter, Akritirian Patrol Ship, Akritirian Prison Satellite, Aktuh and Melota, USS Al-Batani, Al-Leyan Transport, Alan-a-Dale, Alans, Study Euphoria

[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...

[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...
