While Seska didn't find Rabek's abilities particularly impressive... I know for certain you will.
First, Rabek is part of the Kazon-Nistrim sect. If you are using the Kazon Collective incident, you can play Rabek for free if Culluh is in play.
Second, Rabek is the only Kazon in the Voyager expansion to have just two regular skills. This means you'll be able to download him to your Kazon outpost or ship with Assign Support Personnel.
Third, Rabek has MEDICAL as his classification. Don't overlook this! In the Voyager expansion there are but four Kazon personnel with MEDICAL. Two are unique (Haron and Loran) and two are universal (Rabek and Ril). Both Ril and Loran can lose their MEDICAL to Fighting Words. That leaves the unique Haron and the universal Rabek as the only safe bets to overcome Tarellian Plague Ship, Barclay's Protomorphosis Disease, Tsiolkovsky Infection, and Aphasia Device.
Combos:
- Assign Support Personnel + Rabek: Have that Kazon MEDICAL on your first turn.
- Rabek x2 + The Kazon Collective x2 + Culluh: Report two Rabeks a turn directly to your Kazon Warship.
- Rabek + Lower Decks: Attributes 9-8-10 on a non-unique MEDICAL who's immune to Fighting Words!
