Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. Still in the A's of the Star Trek Encyclopedia...
THE ENTRIES:
[6] ablative armor
[7] academy commandant
[8] Academy Flight Range
[9] academy range officer
[10] Acamar III
[6] My version of Ablative Armor doesn't do a thing for Dilemmas or Missions that require certain shields. In any case, Decipher's solution is clearer than mine.
[7] I'm breaking a Decipher rule here by not giving him some invented name. Personnel don't generally go by title alone. Red Squad personnel would eventually be designed, but I don't think I got to make many because of alphabetical concerns. I really wanted it to say "Red Squad Personnel", but this is the first instance where my knack for slightly long game text forced me to simplify things to fit the bounding boxes.
[8-9] Tractor Beam is included because a large enough ship has to bring the training craft. In these cases, I did make some slight changes to bring the card in line with later game text, namely changing the region to Sector 001 as opposed to "Solar System". The source for both cards is, of course, "The First Duty".
[10] Acamar III is in the Acamar Region because the Encyclopedia also has an entry for Acamar system. Source: "The Vengeance Factor".
Let's keep going, it's a big book!
