Broken Links [BL-B1-5] Anaglut to Cortin Zweller

Just like we did with the A's, By Inferno's Light generated a fair few Broken Links. The next 40 cards were designed in 2025, not the late 90s!

BROKEN LINKS:
[1] A universal Evora
[2] Aquiel Unhari
[3] Baseball personnel
[4] Baseball personnel
[5] Cortin Zweller

NOTES:
[1] Balsamic Vinaigrette [B+15] makes Evoran equivalent to Antidean (which AtoZ gave cards to), and we only had the Cuzar, so a universal Evora seemed indicated. The name is derived from his presence on Tulgana IV - it's the name of the planet in reverse. Source: "Envoys"
[2] The interrupt Batarael [B113] can download her. Lieutenant's Log is at A236. Source: "Aquiel"
[3] Bunt [B+74] talks about baseball personnel, and I know it's not the only one. I've therefore made a bunch of characters from the baseball episode. His baseball-colored Nemesis icon matches Team Captain Sisko's, later in this set. Source: "Take Me Out to the Holosuite"
[4] I've decided that the Niners, since they're playing a human game, would all be [Fed] affiliation. Source: "Take Me Out to the Holosuite"
[5] The Encyclopedia has him as Cortin, but subtitles now have him as Cortan. I went with the earlier spelling because that' how he's referred to on Bonestell Recreation Facility card [B274]. Section 31 is from the TNG novel "Rogue"; I'm proposing that he was recruited at the Academy. Source: "Tapestry"

Next up: Introducing a Q-Personnel.

Cards: Anaglut, Aquiel Unhrari, Captain Solok, Catcher Nog, Cortin Zweller

[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...
