[B211-215] Bio-Neural to Biocontainment

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. As promised, Gel Packs!

THE ENTRIES:
[211] bio-neural energy
[212] bio-neural gel-pack
[213] bio-temporal chamber
[214] biochips
[215] biocontainment field

Decipher's version, for comparison:

NOTES:
[211] Chakotay's Ghost, indeed a persona, has no Classification. It acts as a booster to whichever personnel it inhabits. If that personnel dies, the Ghost is also discarded. The persona rule works for a just-killed Chakotay, but the Chakotay doesn't return to hand. The Ghost may not be randomly selected alone. Source: "Cathexis"
[212] If a personnel has Computer Skill, it becomes Computer Skill x2. A personnel with Computer Skill x2 gets x4, etc. Decipher later made its own version (as Equipment) in the Voyager expansion (included for comparison). Source: "Caretaker"
[213] For example, Jean-Luc Picard could lie down in the Chamber and come out as Admiral Picard or Lt. (j.g.) Picard. If an AU personnel from another location meets its double where the Chamber is, they may coexist since they have already been reported legally, much in the same way a reversed Anti-Time Anomaly allows the same unique personnel to exist in multiple copies. Such personnel may not report at a double's location where the Chamber is present. Source: "Before and After"
[214] It doesn't report at a Food-serving site, but rather as an implant only playable at Assimilation Table. Source: Referenced in "I, Borg"
[215] Aphasia Device and Coalescent Organism (to name a couple of targeted dilemmas) are not discarded when encountered unless their requirements are met. They simply don't kill or disable as they normally would. Source: The entry references "Macrocosm", but I chose a pic from "Unnatural Selection".

Next up: Taking the bio course.

Cards: Chakotay's Ghost, Bio-Neural Infection, Bio-Temporal Chamber, Biochip Implant, Biocontainment Field

[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.

[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...
