[A46-55] Ajax to Akorem Laan

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, we're hitting 50 entries (if not 50 cards)!

THE ENTRIES:
[46] Ajax, USS
[47] Ajilon Prime
[48] Ajur (already exists in the game)
[49] "Ak'la bella doo"
[50] Ak'voh

NOTES:
[46] The Traveller enters play when either the personnel or event do. Lakanta doesn't count. Source: "Where No One Has Gone Before"
[47] A little incentive for the Klingons to attempt it, but does the Federation want them to get those points? Source: DS9's "Nor the Battle to the Strong"
[48] This Vogon from "Captain's Holiday" had already been released as a Non-Aligned personnel card in the Alternate Universe expansion.
[49] More interaction with Food cards. Source: "Playing God"
[50] The first turn only yields the original 5 points, thus the maximum number of points obtainable through Ak'voh is 15. Klingon Death Yell is still discarded to point area. Source: "The Ship"

And now: Another new card type!. It's important to note that this was before Decipher presented its own solution...


THE ENTRIES:
[51] Akadar, Temple of
[52] Akagi, USS
[53] Akira-class starship
[54] akoonah
[55] Akorem Laan

NOTES: 
[51] Because the Encyclopedia described every holodeck program ever seen on the show, I decided to create Program cards. This was before Holodeck Adventures would start describing them as Incident cards. Program cards, then, are to be played like Events on any ship or site with a Holodeck or Holosuite. Only one such program may be active per Holodeck at any one time. If you play a Program where one already exists, the other is discarded. The terms Program and Holoprogram in game text are not interchangeable, so AtoZ cards don't interfere with the mechanics of Decipher's take on this concept. As for this specific one, I've made alterations because it was way too narrow, only referenced missions taking place on Valt and Krios (Brute Force and Krios Suppression) - in other words, way too beholden to Trek Sense. Source: "The Perfect Mate"
[52] Was probably trying to juice up one of the worst cards in the game. Source: "Redemption, Part II"
[53] I have seen many Akira cards over the years, and it did make it into 2nd Edition.
[54] Another potential winner of the Encyclopedia format is the ANIMAL classification, so I started moving in that direction. Source: "The Cloud"
[55] Akorem Laan counts as an Emissary for purposes of other cards. A bit surprised we never got an official Akorem in 1st ed., though he did appear in 2nd. D'jarras is a card in the AtoZ set. Source: "Accession"

Next up: Worf sings us a ditty!

Cards: USS Ajax, Border Skirmish, Ak'la bella doo, Ak'voh, Temple of Akadar, USS Akagi, USS Akira, Akoonah, Akorem Laan

[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 ...
