15th Anniversary Collection: Chain of Command

by Seth Claybrook, First Edition Graphic Designer

23rd October 2009

Chain of Command is the first set of brand new virtual cards for First Edition. We are very excited to get these new cards into your hands.

We wanted to present each of these cards as beautifully as possible. Each card features artwork that extends beyond the image box, like some of the Fajo Collection cards. Even the expansion icon art is extended. The result is a collection of visually stunning cards. Beyond the look of the cards, the gameplay of these cards was handcrafted to enhance your decks and make use of some cards that have been in the binder for years.

In keeping with tradition of providing cryptic clues you must decipher, here are some tid-bits about Chain of Command. In this set you will find:

• A ship and commander that match, but are not a matching pair
• A 'fat' commander
• One ship is featured twice
• One small ship
• An infiltrator with three Nemeses
• A captain that gets better with friends
• An 'out of quadrant' captain
• A personnel temporarily in command
• A predator
• A Borg with all three subcommand icons
• A card that provides a seemingly unlimited supply of ships
• A lieutenant commander
• A Ship that takes it to the edge
• A card whose attributes start at 24
• A card that gets downloaded by another card in the set
• The word "Enterprise" is found 12 times in the set
• There are a total of 15 dots (.) in the card titles of this set
• Just using cards from this set, one ship can have SHIELDS of 15
• Only one card has the number "15" printed on it
