The Power of Purple - Part II

by Jeremy Commandeur, First Edition Director

12th November 2008

Long before the Delta Quadrant outposts appeared, even earlier than the Dominion outposts, outposts evolved from 'boring, must stock' to 'deck design tech' with the introduction of the Klaestron.

An outpost with two affiliations? What? It lets you seed a treaty? Seed a treaty!?!? Thats totally broken! The Federation can seed two outposts now? No fair!

Why do I like the Klaestron Ouptost? Because Ocett, Dogged Rival is backwards compatible. See if you can put the clues together.

• Second Edition Ocett is backwards compatible.
• Ocett solves Uncover DNA Clues by herself.
• Uncover DNA Clues adds a Cardassian icon to Hunt for DNA Program.
• Hunt for DNA Program requires three Archaeology.
• Parn is universal, plays for free (at Central Command), has Archaeology, and can be downloaded with Going to the Top.
• Going to the Top requires two Commands Stars to use.
• The Federation has four Mission Specialists with Command Stars.
• Two of which have skills that help solve Hunt for DNA Clues.
• There is a treaty that lets the Cardassians (Parn) work with the Federation (Mission Specialist). Turrel even protects that treaty.
• Treaty: Federation/Cardassian can be seeded if the Klaestron outpost is in play.
• Therefore, the Klaestron outpost is awesome. As an added bonus, it can even be seeded directly at Hunt for DNA Program.

Thanks to Identity Crisis, you too can have some powerful purple in your deck. Tune in next week as we look at more things that are green-ish, and mean-ish and have bad breath.
