    Quote from Fajo Collection Rules Supplement:

    This ship has special equipment (not a personnel) providing the equivalent of one MEDICAL skill. This MEDICAL may be used as one of the seven “personnel types” required by the Kurlan Naiskos. The U.S.S. Pasteur also has a new “nemesis” icon (see the entry for I.K.C. Chang above).

    BEHIND THE SCENES:
    The only ship with a built-in skill, and the only one to match the Future Enterprise’s enviable RANGE of 13. The Pasteur is weaker than the Chang and the Fek’lhr in both WEAPONS and SHIELDS, but the nemesis icon and her superior RANGE combine to create an interesting tactical advantage in some situations.
    The Pasteur is forever linked to the Chang by a disruptor blast enhanced with a touch plate of yellow ink. This “connection” could be achieved only in a special set like Fajo. Normally, press sheets are so large that separate pieces of film must be pieced together, which creates “seams.” Even with the best possible registration, these seams would be visible if we didn’t limit the borders of every card on that press sheet to one solid color. The Fajo cards, on the other hand, are custom-printed on small press sheets, enabling us to expand the full-color print area to include the card borders.
