[B+ 51-55] Bipolar to Bolias

Drop the blast shutters!

THE ENTRIES:
[51] bipolar flow junction
[52] blast shutters
[53] "Blaze of Glory"
[54] Bligh, Captain William
[55] Bolias, Bank of

NOTES: 
[51] One Little Ship (a tiny Runabout) is considered an intruder aboard opposing ships, and has the same status as personnel and equipment aboard one of your own. If ship sites exist here, relocate One Little Ship to any of them. Source: "One Little Ship"
[52] Like Field Diverters, but protecting more than one site. (The small ships aren't starships and don't support ship sites anyway.) Source: "One Little Ship"
[53] A powerful card if you're on the losing end. The first function might be used purposefully by letting Michael Eddington die at the hands of a self-seeded Borg Ship dilemma, thus downloading three cards to that location (a ship with crew? it's 3 cards), though the Cube will most likely destroy the ship ;-). Any ships downloaded are free to counterattack that very moment. Note that only cards from the Blaze of Glory expansion are downloadable here, and only those that actually can exist at a specific spaceline location. The second function lets you look through your Battle Bridge side-deck and choose among all cards there (not just two), provided you lost a ship prior to this point. And since you can do this on purpose (sacrificial shuttles, etc.), Fair Play nullifies the card. If Fair Play is in play, Blaze of Glory cannot be played for the second function (won't nullify the first function). Source: "Blaze of Glory"
[54] Might just stop a personnel, but if it has a special download, it might be wasted. If there is no target for the downloaded card, it is discarded with no effect and the SD is spent. Source: "Year of Hell, Part II"
[55] For a while I was going to provide a remote option for the Computer Skill (since Bilby hacked banks from afar), but decided against it (too much game text). Source: "Who Mourns for Morn?", but the pic is from Doctor Who's "Time Heist" (i.e. a sly reference)

Next up: The OTHER Boothby.

Cards: Tracing the Problem, Blast Shutters, Blaze of Glory, Off the Deep End, Bank Heist

By Inferno's Light Virtual Pack

I didn't do this for EVERY letter, but the first few AtoZ "expansions" had working booster packs of 15 cards, sorted like so: 11 commons (of 112 possibilities), 3 uncommons (of 117 possibilities) and 1 rare (of 107 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 C's. Note that Enhanced By Inferno's Light would have been 5 special packs with set card lists, and B'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 ...
