Gorrus from Kathy McCracken (12/21/2000)

One of two Romulan mission specialists in the Mirror, Mirror expansion, Gorrus fills an important niche in the Romulan skills mix. With an ever-expanding need for SECURITY personnel for dilemmas, missions, and capturing strategies, he's a welcome alternative or addition to Mopak as a first-turn SECURITY source. His Navigation skill is needed in multiples for passing many dilemmas such as Navigational Hazards, "Subspace Seaweed", and Stellar Flare; and while that skill is available on a number of other Romulans, including the universal Navok and D’Vin, only Gorrus can turn it into 5 bonus points at any of a number of important Romulan missions.

Combos:

• Gorrus + Mopak + Assign Mission Specialists: If you're using Homefront, you'll need four SECURITY on Romulus before you can use your free reports at headquarters. Have two of them in play during the seed phase at a nearby outpost.
• Gorrus x2 + Tarus x2 + Assign Mission Specialists + Study Badlands x3: Bonus points turn a 25-point mission into a 35-pointer. Add a few more copies of Gorrus for all the Navigation you need to keep your ship safe from the Badlands plasma storms.
• Gorrus + Tarus + Tomek + Assign Mission Specialists + Study Lonka Pulsar: Now you can earn bonus points for every skill required for this classic piece of the tried-and-true Romulan space deck.
