Delta Quadrant Spatial Scission from Kathy McCracken (05/13/2001)

See picture of Delta Quadrant Spatial Scission.

 

As the universe becomes more dangerous, you may have wished for a clone machine to duplicate your important unique personnel - or even the flagship of your fleet. Sure, you can stock another copy in your deck in case the first one falls prey to an Assassin’s Blade or a Borg Ship, but if the first one doesn't die, or is captured or assimilated, the second copy becomes dead weight in your hand instead of a useful additional ship or crew member.

Well, it's not quite a clone machine, but this incident comes close if you're playing with Delta Quadrant natives. It lets you have two copies of each unique [DQ] personnel or ship in play at a time. While it won't let you double up on skills that might be restricted by cumulativity effects, or allow you to use a special download twice in one game, what more efficient way to get a high concentration of Computer Skill or ENGINEERs than with two copies of B’Elanna Torres? If your Kazon need a hard-to-supply skill such as Empathy or Law, you don't have too many choices, but if you can back up Nimira with Nimira, your options just doubled. And wouldn't you like to have a matched set of Delta Flyers to report to your twin Voyagers?

But you may not want to stop at two copies of a key unique card. Even if you have two copies in play and miraculously, both survive the dilemmas and battles you encounter, a third copy in hand won't be wasted, but can give you an important boost at a critical time. Place that copy out-of-play, and all copies in play get +2 to each attribute until the start of your next turn.

If you like seeing double, the Delta Quadrant is the place to be.

Combos:

  • Delta Quadrant Spatial Scission + Return Life-form + Kathryn Janeway + Kathryn Janeway: When a single personnel can solve a 40-point mission singlehandedly, the best backup for Kathryn Janeway is... Kathryn Janeway.
  • Delta Quadrant Spatial Scission + U.S.S Voyager x3: With two in play, a third placed out-of-play from hand will increase your firepower by a total of +4 and each ship's SHIELDS by +2 - might come in handy in a quadrant teeming with Borg, Kazon, and lung-stealing Vidiians.
