Assassin’s Blade

Starters only card from Voyager (2001) / Common card from Deep Space Nine (1998)

Voyager: The Klingon dagger of kut'luch is used in a violent ritual of bloodletting that prepares one to become a warrior. Some also use the blade for more unscrupulous purposes.

Deep Space Nine: The technological advances of the 24th century offer a wide variety of state-of-the-art weaponry. Nevertheless, some still prefer the simple charm of the assassin's blade.

Rule notes

Major Rakal's Dilemma Facts

If entire AT/crew are shape-shifters and/or androids, discard dilemma and continue to next. Otherwise: If AT/crew meets conditions (CUNNING > 36 OR 2 SECURITY), discard dilemma and continue to next. If not, opponent chooses one personnel to die (not shape-shifter or android); AT/ship and crew are "stopped"; replace dilemma under mission to be encountered again.
