Doppelganger

Rare card from Q-Continuum (1996)

On stardate 42679.2, the U.S.S. Enterprise encountered a duplicate of Jean-Luc Picard (Prem) from six hours in the future. He was eventually killed by Jean-Luc Picard.

Plays on table. While in play, if a unique personnel moves at the same location as its duplicate, the duplicate is discarded unless Clone Machine in play.

Rule notes

Official Runlings:

With this event in play, if two copies of a unique Personnel card are in play at two different locations, and one moves to the location of the other, the non-moving one is discarded. If the two cards are always at the same location (even if they are moving simultaneously), no one is discarded. Reporting, beaming from a planet to a ship, or moving from one site to another is not "moving to a location."

A "duplicate" is equivalent to a copy. Other instances of the same persona (even with the same card title) are not duplicates. For example, Jean-Luc Picard (Prem) (Premiere) is not a duplicate of Jean-Luc Picard (First Contact) or Galen.
