[B+ 1-5] IKC B'Moth to Ba'ku Planet

Enhanced By Inferno's Light begins! These are the cards based on the new entries in the next edition of the Encyclopedia. 75 cards in all, distributed in 5 boxes (P1-5) each with 15 Premium (enhanced) cards, bundled with 2 regular By Inferno's Light booster packs. I'll mention the frontpieces visible to the customer when they come up.

THE ENTRIES:
[1] B'Moth, IKS
[2] B'omar Sovereignty
[3] B'omar
[4] Br'er Rabbit
[5] Ba'ku planet 

Decipher's version for comparison:
Decipher's version for comparison:
NOTES: 
[1] At once mimics the T'Ong's and the Enterprise-C's reporting abilities. Source: "Soldiers of the Empire"
[2] You cannot reduce a mission's Span below 0. B'omar personnel will include the likes of Gaumen and Dumah. Source: "The Raven"
[3] To make various DQ races interesting, I give them things that can only be used by them. Staffing here merely requires one member of the B'omar species. If commandeered, THEN it may be staffed by a Command icon. Source: "The Raven"
[4] Playing Tactics blind means that which Tactic is played (among the two or more drawn from the side-deck) is a random selection rather than the player's. No Tactical Console may be "installed" on the ship as long as this damage counter remains on it. Not exactly the same, but close enough, Decipher's BaH! expansion made this as the Riker Maneuver (included for comparison). Source: Star Trek: Insurrection
[5] I'm having the Son'a align with whichever power is ready to do the job (the Feds weren't). Decipher made this as Insurrection (doh! why didn't *I* think of that?) and released in The Motion Pictures expansion (included for comparison). Source: Star Trek: Insurrection

Next up: More Ba'ku.

Cards: IKC B'Moth, Cut Through Red Tape, B'omar Attack Fighter, Br'er Rabbit Maneuver, Forced Relocation

    RE: awesome cards
    Finally, I can recreate ST:Insurrection with a mission card that you can actually get,
    rather than it being short printed and unobtainium.
    The B'omar staffing criteria is nice - I wish that was a house rule that applied to all factions,
    Ferengi vessels being staffed by unaligned never sat quite right with me.
    Many thanks again, Siskoid!
    PS: Happy New Year 2026

      Was Insurrection really short printed? It's a Common, after all. I suppose The Motion Pictures was short printed, but I always got my two boxes of each expansion from Decipher at this point (as payment for writing articles for their site), so I'm sure I must have multiple copies of the mission. Send me your address at michel.siskoid.albert (at) gmail (dot) com and I'll see if I can't find out and send it to you.

[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...
