[A346-353] Avesta to Azure Nebula

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. Do Exocomps dream of axonal sheep?

THE ENTRIES:
[346] Avesta
[347] Avidyne engines
[348] axionic chip
[349] axonal amplifier
[350] Ayala, Lieutenant

Decipher's version:

NOTES:
[346] Bemar is the security chief at Prophet's Landing and gets a card in AtoZ. Source: Referenced in "Heart of Stone", but I've created him from a stock photo.
[347] Constellation-class ships include the Stargazer and the Hathaway (plus the universal Constellation). Source: "Peak Performance"
[348] If more than one Exocomp present, all of them get two skills (this is permanent). Source: "The Quality of Life"
[349] In other words, your Interlink drone can share the skills of Borg on an adjacent planet or ship. It is also possible for two hives, two locations apart, to share an adjacent location. Source: "Unity"
[350] The Voyager expansion gave us a universal Ayala (included above for comparison), but I suppose both have a place (give or take the universality) since mine here is from Season 7 when he switched from gold to red. Perhaps proper, then, that I made him Fed-only. He didn't have a Maquis icon in my version, but given what the game decided to do with Voyager personnel, I added it here. Source: "Renaissance Man", though the references in the Encyclopedia mention "Caretaker" and "Twisted"

And now: The last of the "A" expansion...

THE ENTRIES:
[351] Azin, Minister
[352] azna
[353] Azure Nebula

NOTES:
[351] Source: Referenced in "Indiscretion", but the picture is of an unnamed minister in "The Siege"
[352] The personnel "upkeeping" Azna is a personnel at the Food site keeping that Food card in play as per the Food rules. Source: Referenced in "A Man Alone"
[353] The Excelsior is not the universal USS Excelsior, but Sulu's ship, which would later be made as Starship Excelsior (I've kept the AtoZ nomenclature). Kang and Tuvok may act the required affiliated personnel. Source: "Flashback"

Next up: I lied. There are more A's. You'll see.

Cards: Avesta, Avidyne Engines, Axionic Dreams, Axonal Amplifier, Ayala, Minister Azin, Azna, Historic Rendezvous

[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.
