[B+ 11-15] Bajoran to Balsamic

Worf gets dressed...

THE ENTRIES:
[11] Bajoran shrimp
[12] Balancar Agricultural Consortium
[13] Balancar
[14] baldric
[15] balsamic vinaigrette

NOTES: 
[11] Turns any ship or facility into a Ferengi Trading Post, but note that Away Teams springing from those ships are not affected unless the Food is brought along. Source: "You Are Cordially Invited"
[12] If Fake Mission is nullified, the mission points go back up, even if it was solved and "scored". Source: "The Magnificent Ferengi"
[13] Nullifies that pesky dilemma that lowers a mission's points by 15. Source: Referenced in "The Magnificent Ferengi"
[14] The main families are Worf's and Duras's, but there are a few minor ones too (Martok's, certainly). Don't forget that special skills are not cumulative, and that special downloads can only be used once per game regardless of the number of the exact same card in play during that game. But you can make Alexander give the Bortas a bonus while your Worf Son of Mogh is busy elsewhere, etc. It's also easier to make K'mtar's bonus stick when you give it to Federation-aligned Worf. Source: "The Way of the Warrior"
[15] So if a card requires an Antedean to nullify it, for example, an Evora will too. Regent Cuzar is the only Evora for whom a card was designed (the only one named, too), so Broken Links will supply a universal Evora. A Food card played on another works just like a real Food card, but has no effect unless the salad (in this case) is also at that Food-serving site. Both cards must be upkept normally. Salads include Corn Salad (doubles its bonuses) and Endive Salad (unstops personnel twice per turn), for example. Source: Referenced in Star Trek: Insurrection

Next up: Bareil makes a comeback.

Cards: Bajoran Shrimp, Fake Mission, Expose Squill Fraud, Worf's Baldric, Balsamic Vinaigrette

[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...
