THE ENTRIES:
[61] Borven, Glinn
[62] Bradbury, Ray
[63] Bre'Nan ritual

[65] bridal auction

NOTES: 
[61] Trepar will be in Broken Links; Plans of the Fourth Order appears under "F". Source: Referenced "Ties of Blood and Water"; pic from "Strange Bedfellows"
[62] Odd to start a new icon with the nullifyer, but that's the alphabetical way. The SF (Science Fiction) icon is something not unlike the Rules of Acquisition icon, which I've developed for the various SF authors mentioned in the Encyclopedia's addendum. The original rocketship icon looked like this:
Here, we'll find not only the real SF authors of the 40s and 50s, but also the ones from Sisko's "dream". The cards' abilities will be related to the specific author's works or themes. Source: "Far Beyond the Stars" 
[63] The real use of this card may be to get that Klingon female, but it can also serve to make an opposing Klingon female lose her Klingon icon, or to turn your own NA into a full-fledged Klingon. Source: Referenced in "Far Beyond the Stars"
[64] Ships must have stopped here for their RANGE to be -2. No kind of scan has any effect on this location or anything located here. Source: Star Trek: Insurrection
[65] Ok, first, the dilemma strikes only if a Ferengi is present on a ship, or no matter what on a planet. Then, opponent can "spend" Latinum to capture a female of their choice. If they spend 2, you can counter the purchase by spending 3. If you counter their offer, they get to keep their money. All Latinum may be discarded from anywhere in play or from hand.

Next up: A bunch of cards from "The Killing Game".

[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...
