[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!
[60] "I Am TOO a Merry Man!" Source: "Unification II"

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

[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 ...
