[A296-305] Arsenal to Aschelan V

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. All TNG stuff...

THE ENTRIES:
[296] Arsenal of Freedom
[297] Artemis, S.S.
[298] artificial quantum singularity
[299] artificial wormhole
[300] Arton, Jeff 

NOTES: 
[296] Protects a ship from being targeted by armadas where individual ships have lower weapons than that ship. Source: "The Arsenal of Freedom"
[297] With 4 ENGINEERs, the ship can take off without Establish Landing Protocols or Engage Shuttle Operations. The crew is unharmed by the dilemma. If there is no adjacent planet, the dilemma is discarded with no effect. Up to you to seed it well. Source: "The Ensigns of Command"
[298] You have to refer to relevant events, interrupts and dilemmas to figure this one out. If a card says "except Borg ship(s)", then immunity to it can be shared. At time of creation, that was just Into the Breach, Plasma Fire and Warp Core Breach, but I'm sure there were more later in the game and in AtoZ. Source: "Timescape"
[299] Non-Aligned only crews may not attempt. Source: DS9's "Rejoined"
[300] I originally made him unable to work with Jenna, but a restriction box would have screwed up the layout, and hey, they're adults. Source: "In Theory"

And now: Quark and Odo play nice...

THE ENTRIES:
[301] Artonian laser
[302] arva nodes
[303] Arvada III
[304] "Ascent, The"
[305] Aschelan V 
NOTES: 
[301] Weaker than your usual disruptor or phaser, but it works on all your personnel regardless of affiliation. Encountered before The Gatherers, it can become the automatic discard. After it, it's a nice reward. If The Gatherers is not seeded at the Laser's location, it is considered to be a misseed. Source: "The Vengeance Factor"
[302] More Equipment compatibility stuff. Source: "Captive Pursuit"
[303] Source: TNG's "The Arsenal of Freedom"
[304] A peaceful little objective. Source: "The Ascent"
[305] Advanced ships include the Keldon Advanced and D'deridex Advanced (for mission theft). Source: VOY's "Dreadnought"

Next up: I wasn't expecting Isaac Asimov!

Cards: Arsenal of Freedom, Off Course, I (heart) Quantum Singularities, Create Artificial Wormhole, Jeff Arton, Artonian Laser, An Arva Node By Any Other Name, Tend to Victims, Things in Common, Protect Fuel Depot

[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.
