Card Extra

Office of the President from Evan Lorentz (01/1999)

The Headquarters of the Federation provides a great deal of flexibility in free reporting. From Mission Specialist Norah Satie clear up to heavy hitters like Admiral Riker and Spock, many of the cards you'll already want in your deck are exactly the cards that can report free at the Office of the President.

Of course, the Office can also combine well with a Visit Cochrane Memorial strategy, but remember that since it is a Headquarters (not an Outpost), you cannot download Mission Specialists there when you play the objective. You would have to report a human ENGINEER there normally or shuttle a Specialist in from a nearby outpost to get the ball rolling.

Combos:

• Office of the President + Admiral Riker: Using Riker's special download of any Enterprise, you can get a ship and a good captain for her, all without using your card play.
• Office of the President + an appetite for destruction: Many of the Federation's best battle-oriented cards report for free to the Office of the President including Admiral Hayes (a bonus to all Federation ships at his location), Admiral Leyton (who can initiate battle against the Dominion) and Admiral Riker (who can lead you into battle against Klingons).
