[C51-55] Cardies to Caretaker

Okay, one last Cardassian card, but then we have to move on to Voyager...

THE ENTRIES:
[51] Cardies
[52] cardiostimulator
[53] Carema III
[54] "Caretaker, Parts I and II"
[55] Caretaker 

NOTES: 
[51] Source: "The Wounded"
[52] First off, reporting personnel is going to be difficult since facilities are seeded last. You cannot play your out-of-sequence move between the Facility phase and the first (official) move. If you can get around this however (with an Event, Objective or what have you), you could possibly solve a mission before dilemmas have been seeded under it. In any case, as soon as the Incident found its way on the table, I bet seeding strategies will be affected. For example, you could convince an opponent not to place his Outpost at a certain location by playing an event there. You also get advance notice on your initial hand. Source: "Cathexis"
[53] The requirements guarantee you'll be able to play the Fountain right on the mission. Source: TNG's "The Quality of Life"
[54] This Objective is meant to mimic Voyager's predicament. Starships are defined in AtoZ as being ships that require staffing icons. To report shuttles, you must have Engage Shuttle Operations in play and a Tractor Beam on the vessel. If your ship is ever destroyed, you can send another through normal means (Caretaker's Array, Barzan Wormhole). Source: "Caretaker"
[55] My original design was a dual Event/Personnel - I loved to stretch things this way - but there's just not space to do that kind of thing, so I had to pick a lane and went for a Personnel. The Array is a facility in AtoZ, so he can report there. Source: "Caretaker"

Next up: Let's get some cargo.

Cards: Bloody Cardies, Kickstart, Build Particle Fountain, Head for Home, Caretaker

[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.
