undefined attribute
If a card has an undefined attribute (e.g., Mortal Q's CUNNING of Q, Kivas' Fajo's "NO INTEGRITY," or Spot's STRENGTH, which is not a number but is explained in the skills box), it is treated as zero for purposes of comparisons or totalling attributes. Undefined attributes cannot be modified with other cards. For example, Kivas Fajo will be killed by the Firestorm dilemma, but his INTEGRITY is not enhanced by Kukalaka.

A "disabled ship attribute" (for the dilemma "Pup") is treated as an undefined attribute. A variable attributes is not undefined unless it is unusable for some reason.

  

Undetected Beam-In
If your opponent encounters this dilemma, you may download up to four Borg drones (to the planet, if any, or to any ship or facility at the location). If you download them to a ship or facility controlled by your opponent, the drones are intruders.

Rogue Borg Mercenaries downloaded through this dilemma battle for the first time at the start of the next turn, even if more Rogue Borg are played normally on the current turn. They may play only on an occupied ship.

  

unique and universal
Universal personnel, ships, sites, missions, and time locations are those with the four-diamond Universal universal symbol at the beginning of the card name. (Universal facilities will also be marked with the Universal symbol in future printings.) Those without the Universal universal symbol are unique (unless they have an enigma icon Enigma). All other card types are universal unless marked "Unique" or "Not duplicatable."

  • Each player may have only one copy of a particular unique (or Enigma) personnel or ship (or of the same persona) or non-duplicatible facility in play at any time. Any number of copies of a universal personnel, ship, or facility may be in play at the same time.
  • Unique sites are "unique per station." That is, each Nor is limited to one of each kind of Site card. Universal sites may exist in multiple on each Nor.
  • Unique missions (including Q’s Planet) and time locations are not duplicatable. There may be only one copy of a time location in play at a time, for both players. Unique missions are stacked to create a single location. Each player may seed more than one copy of any universal mission.
  • Each player may have multiple copies of a facility, artifact, dilemma, objective, etc. in play at a time, except for cards marked "Unique" or "Not duplicatable" in their game text.

When any card marked "Unique" in its game text, or any unique or Enigma personnel or ship, is in play, another copy or instance of the same persona may not be played by the same player, and if another copy belonging to the same player is encountered (e.g., dilemmas), earned (e.g., artifacts), or activated (e.g., hidden agendas) by any player, that copy is discarded.

When any card marked "Not duplicatable" in its game text (or any unique time location) is in play, another copy may not be seeded or played by any player, and if another copy is encountered, earned, or activated by any player, that copy is discarded. When a player seeds any unique mission which has already been seeded on the spaceline, the second copy is stacked atop the first to create a single location. See Deep Space 9 / Terok Nor, seed phases.

  

Unity Drone (Two of Seventeen)
This personnel allows your Borg to share CUNNING in the hive. Example: You have an Away Team on a planet consisting of three Borg, with a total CUNNING of 15:
Bio-Med Drone, Borg Communication, CUNNING 5
Tactical Drone, Borg Defense, CUNNING 5
Talon Drone, Borg Defense, CUNNING 5
You have a Borg ship at a neighboring spaceline locationwith the following crew aboard, with a total CUNNING of 17:
Astrogation Drone, Borg Navigation, CUNNING 7
Guard Drone, Borg Defense, CUNNING 5
Unity Drone, Borg Communication, CUNNING 5
If you bring the ship to the planet location (in the same hive), the CUNNING of the ship's crew is added to the total CUNNING of the Away Team, giving the Away Team a total CUNNING of 32 when facing a dilemma. Likewise, the Away Team's CUNNING is added to that of the ship's crew, so the crew has an effective total CUNNING of 32. This has no effect on the CUNNING of each individual Borg.

If the Bio-Med Drone is now killed, so there is no longer a Borg Communication Borg on the planet, the Away Team now has a total CUNNING of only 10, and the ship's crew has a total CUNNING of only 17.

unopposed
Your personnel are unopposed if your opponent has no personnel present with them on a planet, ship, facility, or site. Your ship is unopposed if your opponent has no ships at the same spaceline or timeline location. A site is unopposed if your opponent has no docked ships or personnel at that site. Cards that are cloaked, phased, disabled, or in stasis do not oppose. See opposing, Patrol Neutral Zone.

U.S.S. Danube
Errata:
Reports for free to Runabout Docking Pads.

  

U.S.S. Dauntless
This ship may be fully staffed by Arturis even if it is in Federation affiliation mode.

  

U.S.S. Enterprise-B
See attribute modifiers.

  

U.S.S. Enterprise-C
This ship can report to any location, in either quadrant, or to a time location. It may report to a facility, but cannot avoid being damaged. If your opponent is using a Battle Bridge side deck, he applies default damage (two damage markers) when you report the ship. If reported with crew via Space-Time Portal, damage is applied to the ship before the crew is reported aboard (no casulaties will occur).

  

U.S.S. Pasteur
This ship has special equipment providing one MEDICAL skill. This MEDICAL may be used as one of the seven personnel types required by the Kurlan Naiskos. The U.S.S. Pasteur's nemesis is the I.K.C. Chang. See nemesis icon.

  

U.S.S. Yangtzee Kiang
This ship is compatible with the Bajoran affiliation. It may be staffed by Bajoran-affiliated personnel (without a matching Federation personnel), and reported and docked at a Bajoran facility. It is still a Federation ship and must abide by Federation attack restrictions.
