[B+41-45] Bergamot Tea to USS Billings

Star Trek Beyond... no, not the movie.

THE ENTRIES:
[41] bergamot tea
[42] beta matrix compositor
[43] Beyond the Galactic Edge
[44] Bilby, Liam
[45] Billings, USS

Decipher's version for comparison:

NOTES:
[41] Non-Borg is meant to exclude Rogue Borg as well. Source: Voyager's "Night"
[42] "Uncontrolled" Empok Nor is the one that's tilted on its side. The repair of all your Nors in play only occurs once, when the mission is solved. Source: DS9's "Empok Nor"
[43] A way to report the Species 8472, but it has a countdown. You should report a ship before reporting your personnel, though the non-human 8472s (check 'em out in the next batch of Broken Links) can survive the vacuum of space, like androids and Borg. Source: Voyager's "In the Flesh", but the pic is from "Where No Man Has Gone Before"
[44] Chester is his cat. Being part of the Orion Syndicate interacts with some AtoZ cards. When a Bilby card was released in The Trouble with Tribbles expansion (included for comparison), Orion Syndicate turned out to be a skill. Source: "Honor Among Thieves"
[45] The Encyclopedia didn't have an updated starship chart for its new entries, so at the time, I guessed at this being an Excelsior. The Star Trek comics later decided to make it a Constellation-class, so I've made the change. The special game text does not cover Lt. Commanders, only full Commanders. Source: Referenced in "Night"

Next up: Species 8472 get a ride.

Cards: Bergamot Tea, Scavenge Parts, Beyond the Galactic Edge, Liam Bilby, USS Billings

[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...
