[B+ 46-50] Binary Pulsar to Biosynthetic Gland

Species 8472 get a ride...

THE ENTRIES:
[46] binary pulsar
[47] bio-dart
[48] biomolecular warhead
[49] bioship
[50] biosynthetic gland

NOTES:
[46] My original design from the 90s had this as a universal given that no specific location was named, but it being "rare", I decided against it here. Source: Voyager's "Scientific Method"
[47] I promised a number of Voth personnel, none of which I got to, so Broken Links it is. Source: "Distant Origin"
[48] A weapon against Species 8472. Bioships and Living ships (like Gomtuu) are more strongly affected. The damage marker is complex, but simple enough. If Species 8472 present, they die. If not, and the firing ship was Borg affiliation (the icon precludes the Borg Ship dilemma from using the option), one personnel is assimilated. In any other situation, a personnel is disabled until the end of the turn. Seven refers to the Federation persona, not to the Borg 7 of 9, but the OR makes that clear. Source: "Scorpion, Part II"
[49] The matching commander is the universal Species 8472 (to appear in Broken Links). Look for a card that allows for that multi-bioship mega-weapon there as well. It is the frontpiece for box P5. Source: "Scorpion, Part II"
[50] The universal drones are all male (as per their pictures), but Seven of Nine and the Borg Queen are females, as is AtoZ's Riley Frazier or any female you might assimilate during a game. Use? Some relocations (Jamaharon, Love Interests and Alien Groupie) depend on gender. AtoZ has lots more, including cards that give bonuses to certain genders, etc. Source: "The Gift"

[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...
