[The Guardian]

Every once in a while, we get the 2E conversion of a 1E card. This project converts each 1E card that does not have a 2E version yet. Generally, I take a gameplay standpoint and avoid overpowered mechanics. I work within the mechanics, icons, and keywords we already have. I try to retain the spirit of the card in some fashion, even if I have to change story for gameplay or vice versa. Afterwards, I would love feedback and will even alter the card further and save the collaborated results for comparison if the case arises.

Original:
Battle Cruiser Bortas
D-5 CLASS
Warship commanded by Duras Son of Toral. Pursued rebels from Raatooras. Once engaged Enterprise in combat.
| Tractor Beam. Attributes all +1 for each aboard (limit 5).
RANGE 6 WEAPONS 5 SHIELDS 5
84 V

2E Equivalent:
4 •Battle Cruiser Bortas
Rebel Pursuer

D-5 Class

While you have three Klingon personnel aboard this ship, it is attributes +2.
“A group of rebels had fled the Klingon Protectorate at Raatooras. … We'd followed their warp trail to a system just outside Klingon territory.”
RANGE 6 WEAPONS 5 SHIELDS 5

Notes:
A mirror version of the Enterprise in 1E for the Klingons, the Bortas keeps its attribute bump in line with its reflection. I gave thought to changing the name, maybe changing the name of all Klingon ships in this era to match, removing the “I.K.S.”, but that seemed like a bit of an overreaction. Maybe not. If you’d prefer they all match, I’d understand.
