[B151-155] Bandara to Bennett

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. Even more Lower Deckers...

THE ENTRIES:
[151] Bendera, Kurt
[152] Bendii Syndrome (no card required)
[153] Benev Selec
[154] Benil, Gul
[155] Bennett, Ensign

Decipher's version, for comparison:

NOTES:
[151] "Kazon" rather than the Kazon-affiliation icon because my own Kazon ships would be N/A. This was long before the Voyager expansion came out. The skill is cumulative. Source: "Learning Curve"
[152] Already exists as dilemma in the Q-Continuum expansion.
[153] You'll have to wait 'til the "I" expansion to check it out, but Ico-Spectrogram Results will have something to do with scanning. Benev Selec is the local name for Drema IV, which is already the 2-Player Game mission Survey Instability, but said to be in the "Sector", even though it's a specific planet, so I upended that with the planet name in the lore, even though it's a space mission (the one the Enterprise was when Sarjenka called. Source: TNG's "Pen Pals"
[154] Counts as matching commander for the universal Galor (just like Ocett). Resistance -1 means that he nullifies the Resistance skill of personnel present (much like Mortal Q disrupts Leadership). Decipher later included him in the Rules of Acquisition expansion (included for comparison). Source: "Second Skin"
[155] His shuttle can land and take off on the same turn. One of several Bennetts in Starfleet (no doubt all tributes to Harv Bennett). I'm surprised the Encyclopedia doesn't list the one from "The Naked Now". Source: "Innocence"

Next up: Okay, play, UPPER Deckers.

Cards: Kurt Bendara, Analyze Ico-Spectrogram, Bennil, Bennett

[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.
