[B+ 56-60] Boothby to Boronite

The OTHER Boothby...

THE ENTRIES:
[56] Boothby
[57] Boq'ta
[58] Borg organelle
[59] Borge, Victor
[60] boronite

NOTES: 
[56] See Valerie Archer in Enhanced Apocalypse Rising for more information on 8472 infiltrators. There already is a Boothby card, but this entry also talked about the fake one so... He is the frontpiece for box P4. Source: "In the Flesh"
[57] A disposable personnel if you want to commandeer Empok Nor. Source: "Empok Nor"
[58] All three subcommands must be present for the attribute boost, and from a drone, not a Queen or counterpart. A new advantage to owning Seven of Nine. The Event is an implant. Source: "The Raven"
[59] Vic's boost is not cumulative, and Borge need not be present to give it. He stops all humans or none at all, and doesn't stop non-humans that look like humans but are really holograms. Source: Referenced in "His Way"
[60] Here's the thing: When I was designing these cards decades ago, the Omega Particle mechanics (from The Borg expansion) didn't exist. And since I never got to "Enhanced O", I don't know what I had in mind (probably nothing yet). When Omega DID come out as a card mechanic, this card stopped making sense. So this is essentially completely new game text only inspired by the original, but interacting with the cards from The Borg. Source: "The Omega Directive"

Next up: Introducing a new icon.

Cards: Boothby 8472, Boq'ta, Borg Organelle Generator, Victor Borge, Closer to Omega

[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. 

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 ...
