Card Extra

Trauma from Evan Lorentz (07/1998)

What if you had to choose between solving a mission and giving up your Lore, Jean-Luc Picard (Prem), Kira Nerys, or Mogh? Trauma is right. You're always guaranteed to snag one of your opponent's best personnel with this dilemma - the one with the most skill dots. The dilemma immediately disables that personnel, which means that in some cases your opponent may not even have the choice to go on and complete that mission. And unless they wait (an unbearably long three turns), that personnel will die. Decisions, decisions.

Combos:

• Trauma + Q: Very often, Leadership is one of the skills those multi-dot personnel possess. Maybe you can knock the Team down to only one Leadership and nail them with Q. (Or the classic The Sheliak / Q.)
• Vendetta + Trauma: Give your opponent a little extra incentive to wait for the countdown to expire... will they lose the personnel and give you 5 points?
