    The Centurion

    Not only the Federation and Klingons benefit from the infusion of strong Alternate Universe personnel from the original series; from the very first Romulan episode comes the unnamed Centurion, Kerasimage's senior advisor. His Alternate Universe icon will let him report to either the Gal Gath'thongimage or the Deciusimage with Crew Reassignmentimage, while his The Original Series icon and SCIENCE classification let him make use of all the classic equipment. And that's just a start.

    It's hard to have too much Exobiology around for passing dilemmas, especially under a SCIENCE classification rather than the too-easily shanghaied MEDICAL. Stellar Cartography will fit nicely into any space-oriented Romulan deck, and Honor with a green border is always in short supply. His own dazzling (for a Romulan) INTEGRITY of 7 is overshadowed by his special skill: he boosts all attributes of other Romulans at his location by +1 each. That's enough to reduce the requirement to nullify a Dal'Rokimage by one personnel, gets nearly every Romulan past Firestormimage level, and makes it just that much easier to pass Alien Parasitesimage - and he doesn't even have to be in the Away Team.

    Combos:

    • The Centurion + Classic Tricorderimage: Now he's just as useful on the ground as in space.
    • The Centurion + opponent's "Crimson Forcefieldimage": He'll nudge the CUNNING of several good OFFICERS above 8 to keep your current tactic in play.
