Darmok

No ship in the STCCG universe has as much flexibility as the Darmok, one of the twenty black border cards found in the Star Trek Official Tournament Sealed Deck. When reporting for duty, you get to choose one of three special equipment functions - a Tractor Beam, Holodeck or Particle Scattering Device.

What this means for sealed deck play is now you can match a ship's function to the cards you get in your sealed deck booster packs. Got a lot of holograms? Now you have at least one ship with holodeck capabilities so you can use them. Need to tow a Radioactive Garbage Scow? No problem, give your ship the tractor beam, and you can move it away. Or if you happen to get a Particle Scattering Field Event card, the Darmok can cause your opponent lots of beaming headaches. Or just give the ship the Particle Scattering Device to make your opponent afraid to beam anywhere, just as a bluff! But remember, once you pick the special function at reporting, that's what the ship will have for the rest of the game, so choose wisely.

In standard Star Trek Swiss tournaments, and in casual play, several copies of the Darmok can make a really nasty Particle Scattering Field deck. In addition, as a stand-alone card, this ship is easy to staff and has respectable RANGE, WEAPONS and SHIELDS numbers.
