The Needs of the Many

Common card from The Motion Pictures (2002)

"...outweigh... "The needs of the few." "Or the one." Spock made the ultimate sacrifice not because it was noble, but because it was logical.

Nullifies any dilemma (or Tactic card just placed as a damage marker) about to destroy your ship. Discard one of that ship's crew members (opponent's choice).

A Tactic card just placed as a damage marker is "about to destroy your ship" if that marker will reduce the HULL integrity to 0 or less. A dilemma is "about to destroy your ship" if your opponent is not using a Battle Bridge side deck and the dilemma damages an already-damaged ship a second time (or the Borg Ship dilemma is destroying it in battle); or if its direct effect is to destroy the ship rather than damage it (e.g., Cosmic String Fragment).
