[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.

Cards: Aunt Adele's Home Remedies, Biomedical Research, USS Adelphi, Necessary Debriefing,Genetic Alteration

[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 ...
