[B91-95] Barton to Barzans

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. My own take on the Barzan Wormhole? 

THE ENTRIES:
[91] Barton
[92] baryon particles
[93] baryon sweep (no card required)
[94] Barzan wormhole
[95] Barzans (no card required)

Decipher's version, for comparison:
NOTES: 
[91] Hybrids count as either species. Staffing the ship means being aboard, not just contributing a particular icon to staffing. Non-Aligned-only crews can attempt missions with either the NA icon or those attemptable by "Any crew" (but not "Any aligned crew". Source: "The Die Is Cast"
[92] With Nutationals, Metaphasics, Captain's Logs, et al., this should hit a good portion of the time. Note that a ship with its SHIELDS below its normal number are not affected. Source: "Suspicions"
[93] Exists as Baryon Buildup, an Event from the Basic Set.
[94] Ship is not "stopped" after going through this wormhole. Once the doorways are discarded, they may be played again. If you time it right, you can get some serious extra RANGE out of a ship needing to cover a long distance in the Delta Quadrant. Make a move onto the Barzan WH and let yourself get carried by it over a large mission (span 5 or 6). Free ride ;-) The Voyager expansion gave us Decipher's take on the Barzan Wormhole (included for comparison), though, of course, the original Wormhole card in Basic was based on this same anomaly. Source: "The Price"
[95] Covered by the Basic Set mission, Wormhole Negotiations.

Next up: Hanging out with the Bashirs...

Cards: Barton's Drama, Baryon Surge, Barzan Wormhole

[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 ...
