Card Extra

Stadi from Kim and Allen Gould (05/17/2001)

One of only four empaths in the Delta Quadrant, she can help you get past Unseat Dictator if you don't happen to have a Vulcan or a large amount of STRENGTH around. But her true calling is as a pilot - put her on any Federation ship, and it moves one point of RANGE faster. Add her to Voyager (or any Intrepid-class ship), and get a +2 kick – it's like having an extra Dedication Plaque to work with. That's especially important in the Voyager-environment, where you don't get the Plaque to work with.

If you want to get her out of the Delta Quadrant, her Navigation will let you drop her with a Type 18 Shuttlepod. And while her skill isn't cumulative, she is universal, letting you spread the RANGE-increasing love across your entire fleet.

Combos:

• U.S.S. Voyager + Stadi + Bio-Neural Gel Pack x3: In Voyager-only, you can move at 14 RANGE. Defiant Dedication Plaque will increase it to 16, and you can Divert Power to move a staggering 18 RANGE.
• Delta Flyer + Stadi + those Gel Packs from above: Once you've moved Voyager, launch the Flyer and move another 12 RANGE. Add Tom and the Plaque for 14 RANGE. That's 32 RANGE in one turn, enough to move about two-thirds of the average spaceline in one turn. Always good if you're in a hurry.
• Stadi + Lower Decks + Ancestral Vision: You can only have one Chakotay (well, OK, you can have two), but if you need those skills elsewhere, Stadi can use her Honor to have substitute visions.
