Card Extra Research Phage from Chris Heard (05/13/2001) |

Curing the dreadful phage, the bane of Vidiian existence, has become that species' obsession. This accounts for the presence of a Vidiian as one of the mission requirements. Research Phage is surely the most characteristically Vidiian of all the Vidiian missions. At first, Research Phage's requirements look intimidating. A closer look, however, shows that this mission is perhaps not as difficult as its 40 points might suggest. The Vidiians' chief surgeon has all the required skills (and species) except for SCIENCE. So does The Doctor, who can attempt the mission if accompanied by a non-aligned personnel (say, a SCIENCE/Physics personnel like Seven of Nine). And don't overlook the alternate requirements: Kurros can complete the mission alone. Borg players shouldn't overlook this mission either. Its high point box number makes it targetable by Assimilate Planet. You could snatch Avery III right out from under your opponent's nose. You might also wish to include Research Phage in your own Delta Quadrant based Borg deck, but be careful: with wise seeding, your opponent can steal the mission from you almost as easily as you can steal it from them (and they get 40 points instead of 25).
