[B46-50] Baktun to Ballard

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. Ever wonder about the aliens in Worf's calisthenics program?

THE ENTRIES:
[46] baktun
[47] Baldoxic vinegar
[48] Balduk warriors
[49] Balfour Lake
[50] Ballard, Lieutenant 

NOTES: 
[46] Extremely useful to the Dominion (Ketracel White does not count down) and in conjunction with a number of Events and Objectives. Watch out for the double-edged sword though: dilemmas with countdowns will turn out to be permanent, and the card affects both players. Time-traveling includes the use of Temporal Rifts as well as movement to Time Locations. The Blade of Tkon may have been acquired by either player. Source: "The Last Outpost"
[47] The vinegar makes things go better together. So Lore can cooperate with the Federation after all, O'Brien can hang with Cardassians, Odo can use hand weapons, and so on. Source: "Tattoo"
[48] I extrapolate a number of things here: that Balduk warriors are indeed part of Worf's program, and that these are part of Klingon history and possibly exist in the empire (if not of the Klingon race). In any case, the Worf connection is enough for a Klingon affiliation icon. Extra-canonical sources have claimed Balduk warriors are "vulpine" (look like wolves), but I have ignored that. Source: "The Emissary"
[49] Having more than one Youth with a compatible parent scores you multiple fivers, but you cannot have more than one Balfour Lake on the planet. The points are scored by the Youth, not the parents. Source: "Attached"
[50] If Lal is reported where Ballard is present, she may learn any two skills chosen from the complete list, not just from the personnel present. Source: "The Offspring"

Next up: Hope you left room for dessert.

Cards: On Tkon Time, Baldoxic Vinegar, Balduk Warrior, Balfour Lake, Lieutenant Ballard

[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 ...
