Card Extra

One from Kim and Allen Gould (08/28/2001)

See picture of One.

 

When you're looking for non-Borg Borg cards, here's one card you want. (That was the Mandatory One pun.)

One doesn't have much for plain skills - Youth comes in handy in odd places, and SCIENCE is just a useful thing to have a spare of, but you'll be adding him for his special skills.

We'll do the last skill first - he's a one-way Interlink effect with all Borg (the species, not the affiliation) at his location. While you don't get the big skill love-in that the Borg (the affiliation, not the species) gets, you can pull together skills from both player's Borg (the species, not the affiliation), whether they're "freed" or still part of the collective. With the large number of "freed" Borg to choose from, you'll have a great source of duplicate skills.

One's other special skill gives you something to do with all those new-found abilities - One can beam through any SHIELDS. There's plenty of obscure tricks you can play here - with Seven of Nine's Computer Skill, you can beam him onto a Nor to allow your ships to dock (or just send him to Ops to commandeer the place, if you prefer.) With his STRENGTH of 10, he's not the worst choice to send to your opponent's under-staffed ship to kill the crew (and if Seven's still around, you can Commandeer Ship).

On the icon side, he has all three subcommands, which will let you sub for a Leadership with Crisis or (if he's unselected) save another Away Team member from Denevan Neural Parasites. He's also an easy way past Invasive Procedures.

Combos:

  • One + Seven of Nine: Everyone loves Seven's skill set - why not have two? Add the Scission, you can have four!
  • One + Tribbles: Send One to take your opponent's tribbles back to his own ship.
