Apparently the CC has been broken-link-happy of late. I'm seeing more and more such things of late and thought I'd start a list of such cards.

I'm going to organize it into a few main sections. Any suggestion on organizing this list or improvements will be appreciated. I'll continue going through and adding more expansion as I go. (Thank you soggy_amphibian for the inspiration to start.)

Two notes: 2E cards are considered nonexistent for they're being divorced from 1E - also, the difference between IKC and IKS on Klingon ships won't be referended due to being considered identical in all respects. :x

Last updated December 19, 2021

Section 1: specifically-named cards that don't exist yet.
Ambassador Gral, downloaded by [P] Attend Ambassadorial Banquet
Corbomite Device: named by [Inc] Risk Is Our Business
Gagh: [DL] by [Kli] Chef Kaga
Group of Individuials: [DL] by [NA] Third of Five (TStL)

Legal Proceedings: [DL] by Commodore Stone
Lirpa: [DL] by [Vul] Smolek

Reman Disruptor Rifle: [DL] by [Rom] Thexor
Shran: *needed by [S] Assemble Fleet and *bonus points for [P] Locate Telepaths
Starbase 375: other place to play [Inc] Staging Ground
Zefram Cochrane's Shotgun: [DL] by [NA] Dr. Cochrane

Section 2: cards and groups that are referenced but don't exist yet, or imply more entries that have just a single entry.
*Card groups

2154 [S] Time Locations: where to find [NA] Tellarite Trading Post
*Only one is [S] Smugglers' Rendezvous - they took pain to make sure that this should be played in multiple, even making it ❖ but made only one place to play it...

Biolabs: empowering [D] Pawns of the Military
*Only one is [NA] Cold Station 12

NEW! Boarding Pods: the perfect choice for [Obj] Boarding Party
*Only one is [Kaz] Kazon Shuttle


NEW! Classic Films Facilities: able to deploy with [Door] Slingshot Effect
*Only one is [Fed] Earth Spacedock


Cravic units: may report aboard [NA] Cravic Warship
*Only one is [NA] Cravic Unit 122

Future-related [1E-AU] ships: can fully utilize [Tac] Maximum Firepower
*Of the three [1E-AU] ships with "future" in lore, only the [Fed] U.S.S. Pasteur is not already mentioned directly on the Tactic, and thus is the only relevant one for this link.

Great Barrier Region
*Only mission is [P]The Discovery of Sha Ka Ree

Intendants: can pass [P] Executive Authorization
*Only [Baj] The Intendant (MM) (CO) has this trait. (Yes, two versions of the same personnel but it's the same person.)

Maquis facilities: referred to on [Inc] Not So Demilitarized
*No [Maq] facilities exist so decks using this card have to go facility-less.

Mirror Neutral 22nd Century personnel: can report to [P] 22nd-Century Japan
*No such card exists - logically it is referring to Mirror Porthos or Mirror Phlox's horrific menagerie but...

Murasaki Region
*Only mission is [S] Examine Quasar

Northwest Passage Region
*Only mission is [S] Battle Reconnaissance

Nova-class ships: referred to by [Fed] Type 9 Shuttlecraft
*Only one is [NA] [Fed] U.S.S. Equinox

*Only one is [Int] Palor Toff - Alien Trader

Pocketwatches: needed by White Rabbit

*With the new additions of [Kli] Prisoner Martia and [Kli] Prisoner McCoy, this link is closed.


NEW! Q Attribute: found on [Bor] Q of Borg, [NA] Mortal Q, and [NA] Mortal Quinn
*With just one card, it could be considered a Deciper joke - with three cards with a Q attribute, a card to define them is probably needed. Probably in Project Mandalorian.


Relays and Scanners: referred to by [Inc] Equipment Replicator
*The only relay is [Equ] Plasmadyne Relay.
*The only scanner is [Equ] I.P. Scanner.

NEW! [SKR] Sha Ka Ree icon: the future improved Sybok technique to release one's pain.

Sovereign-class ships: boosted by [Tac] Quantum Torpedo
*Only one is [Fed] U.S.S. Enterprise-E (FC) (CoC) or [Bor] U.S.S. Enterprise-E (XX) (yes, there's 3 versions of the ship, but it's the same ship persona).

Starfleet personnel with "Mirror Universe" in lore: able to infiltrate with [Inc] Supplant Opposite
*None yet.

Suliban ships: free reports for [Equ] Suliban Cloaking Devices
*None yet.

Terran Flagship card group: [DL] by [Fed] Starship Defiant
*Only [Evt] Terran Flagship: Predator exists.

Valo Region:
*Only mission is [P] Locate Terrorist Leader

Starbase 11: commanded by [Fed] Commodore Stone

*6th Rule references that don't exist yet:
Broik: referred to by [Fer] Levin
Zek: referred to by [Fer] Ishka (Just an informal way of naming Grand Nagus Zek, but a card just named Zek could exist someday.)

Commander William T. Riker: on [Fed] Soren
Dr. Beverly Crusher: on [Fed] Kareel Odan
Dr. Crusher: on [NA] John Doe
Greskrendtregk: on [Fed] Samantha Wildman (I might drop this off my list because it's virtually impossible to make a personnel who is never seen on screen.
Juliana: on [NA] Dr. Soong
Keiko: on [Fed] Miles O'Brien (BoG)
Lieutenant Worf: on [Fed] K'Ehleyr
Lwaxana: on [Fed] Ian Andrew Troi
Quark, Son of Keldar: on [Kli] Grilka (Not sure this counts considering the comma.)
Rita: on [NA] The Bellboy (I might drop this off my list because it's virtually impossible to make a personnel who is never seen on screen.

Section 4: Other lore references
This will be a list of all other personnel who name another personnel in lore. This is mostly for the purposes of Dramatis Personae and Temporal Benefactor that just name cards without any other relationship. This list is pending.

Because the last set in the Mirror Block has many ties to the Starfleet Block, we ended up setting a lot of things up to pay off in the next three sets. I am not a fan of egregious broken links, so I would expect the rate to drop considerably as we begin closing what was just opened.

Added two things - there's a 6th Rule reference on Levin - Broik was a recurring character on Deep Space 9, prominent in the 'union' episode.

Also, added a note of persona references for Sergey and Helena to have separate cards.

Also added the [DL] of Dr. Cochrane for his Shotgun.

(Perhaps others don't consider [Maq] outposts to be a broken link - but I do. What you call future-proofing I call a broken link. :D )

Also, do you consider 'groups' with a single entry to be a broken link like Federation Presidents? Because if so, Solbor arguably counts as the only prylar...

I wonder - does the Vice-Admiral trait count as a broken link? Since it's completely irrelevant in almost all cases due to the only card caring about it also wanting Admirals (and said Vice-Admirals count as Admirals anyway)?

it is needlessly redundant, but not a broken link.

I hope that design has better things to do than make cards that distinguish between Vice-Admirals and non-Vice-Admiral Admirals. In the series, an Admiral of any type was just someone who was above the captain, and their specific rank was rarely if ever relevant to the story.

Consider also that Vice-Admirals are higher than Rear Admirals but lower than full Admirals. (Okay time to step away from Memory Alpha.) A card that cares about Vice-Admirals would only affect the middle of this hierarchy, which would make less sense than a card that cared about either end.

I always thought that "Vice-Admiral" on OOtP was just a clarification/reminder thing to avoid questions about if Vice-Admirals counted as Admirals.

Went through all the old cards and added a few more things here and there - the matching commander section grew by several entries due to Premiere wording ambiguity. I'm preparing to deal with the Broken Bow set when it's fully released - looks like a few things to come and go with it.

We have a card that triggers on cooks. Just sayin'.

Broken Bow Update

This list has actually grown by one net entry (2 removed, 3 added)

Removals: Combat-Ready: Tense Situation exists now. Starfleet shuttlepods exist now.

New links:
Primary:
*One with the Borg
Secondary:
*Sickbay card group
*Xindi reference

Also added two new missions to the Vulcan preview.

As before, if you see anything on here that probably shouldn't exist, I'm open for removing it - especailly all those funky Premiere wordings for romantic links and stuff.
