[A26-30] Aunt Adele to Adigeon Prime

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. Ooh, I think we get our first ship, but we're having to dip into such resources as Star Trek Online or rights-free SF stuff to make things happen...

THE ENTRIES:
[26] Adele, Aunt
[27] Adelman Neurological Institute
[28] Adelphi, USS
[29] Adelphous IV
[30] Adigeon Prime

NOTES:
[26] Since Encyclopedia dream cards will undoubtedly be heavy on the Federation side, the Picard limitation makes sense. Non-Federation Picards include Galen and Locutus. The icon is Mr. Atoz's face (as we've seen since the first card, though I suppose I invented it at THIS point). Optionally, players may forgo the use of this card if their decks are heavy on AtoZ cards. Maybe I didn't think I'd get as far as I did, eh?
[27] A use for Toby Russell? My weird mistake here was making this a planet mission when no planet was attached, when it probably should have been some kind of facility. Well, can't go back 25+ years and fix it.
[28] Empaths actually "unstaff" the Adelphi, a conceit born of its bad experience with Tam Elbrun according to "Tin Man", but it's got a way out of Empathy-related dilemmas.
[29] This mission actually encourages failure. The Encyclopedia gave Adelphous IV only as a destination for the Enterprise after the events of "Data's Day".
[30] Had fun with this one - too MUCH fun as there was no way the game text would fit on the reverse side. A "couple" is two personnel referenced in the lore as being lovers or spouses. When more than one species is represented by the couple, the Youth may be of either species. This is where Bashir had work done according to "Doctor Bashir, I Presume?".

I hope you're still enjoying these, I think we're done with missions (very prevalent in the Encyclopedia) for a little bit.

[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...

[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...

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.
