Card Extra

Activate Subcommands from Evan Lorentz (01/1998)

Basic Borg material. Like a Kivas Fajo - Collector with an attitude, this card will jump start you into the game. Unlike Kivas, there's no risk of your opponent deriving any benefit from it. Stock plenty of them, to be sure you get the two or three you need early in the game. Later on, though you may not use them to get Drones, you'll find them invaluable for probing. With all three subcommand icons right there in the game text box, you'll probe successfully, no matter what the objective.

Combos:

• Activate Subcommands + Activate Subcommands + Activate Subcommands: A Borg Cube more than ready to attack the Alpha Quadrant.
• Activate Subcommands + any Borg objective: Probing made easy. "what're those new circle icons on Locutus of Borg for?". (At least it's one of the answers to that question!) This card contains a wealth of new icons: communication, navigation and defense subcommands; Borg affiliation icons; the expansion set icon (a small Borg cube appearing on all 130 cards in this set) and the mysterious new Delta Quadrant icon (which will come into play in a future expansion set).

This enormous ship requires a minimum of seven Borg to staff it, but the WEAPONS and SHIELDS are well worth the extra staffing. Just be careful if your opponent sets his sights on that 45-point "bounty"!
