    Leading the way in nifty new personae is The E.C.H. (Emergency Command Hologram) - the good Doctor has exchanged medical blue for command red, and has swapped most his skills at the same time.

    Only his Computer Skill and MEDICAL come across intact - his skill set is now firmly in a tactical mindset. Complementing his OFFICER classification (and the included Command Star) are Navigation and Physics, useful for dilemmas (and battle-avoidance via Asteroid Sanctuaryimage). And reflecting his tactical database, he can pull up any Maneuver card you need on demand, letting him draw on the past experience of Picard or La Forge. (Or if that Kazon Warshipimage is too close for comfort, Evasive Maneuversimage might be a better choice.)

    His holographic nature makes him resiliant against random deaths caused by Tactic cards, ensuring that you'll always have a leader available. And if you're on Voyager, he's even the matching commander - nice when Janeway is unavailable.
