I love this mini-affiliation, so here's an updated version of my original attempt that mixes in the official versions. This set covers all possible skills (none of them had Science?!), but is probably unbalanced due to various abilities.

6 •Bevvox, Think Tank Founder
Bioplasmic Lifeform
•2 Anthropology •2 Archaeology •2 Law •2 Leadership •2 Officer
Commander: Think Tank Ship. Think Tank. While this personnel is facing a dilemma at a mission worth 50 or more points, he gains any keyword of your choice until the end of that dilemma. You may do this only once each dilemma.
"Bevvox founded our group more than one hundred years ago, after wandering the galaxy on his own for a few millennia."
Integrity 4 Cunning 8 Strength 2

4 •Fennim, Esoteric Linguist
Alien
•2 Biology •2 Exobiology •2 Medical
Think Tank. While this personnel is attempting a mission worth 50 or more points, each Think Tank personnel present may meet Integrity and Strength requirements of that mission or of a dilemma they are facing at that mission using Cunning. You may do this only once each mission attempt.
"The universal translator must be inoperative."
"Or his speech patterns are too complex to process."
Integrity 4 Cunning 8 Strength 4

6 •Kurros, Paradox-Solver
Alien
•2 Acquisition •2 Diplomacy •2 Intelligence •2 Security •2 Treachery
Commander: Think Tank Ship. Think Tank. While this personnel is facing a dilemma at a mission worth 50 or more points, he becomes the species and/or affiliation of your choice until the end of the mission attempt. You may do this only once each dilemma.
"I am a member of a small group. Explorers, like you. But we seek out challenges, problems to be solved. Technological, biological, social, even artistic."
Integrity 2 Cunning 8 Strength 4

3 •Seven of Nine, Ideal Candidate
Borg
•2 Science
Think Tank. While this personnel is attempting a mission worth 50 or more points, she is attributes +1, gains 2 Honour, and may meet skill requirements using Science as though it were any skill a Think Tank personnel present has.
"She will have an extraordinary opportunity to explore the galaxy as one of us."
Integrity 6 Cunning 7 Strength 6

4 •Sullin, Gifted
Coelenterate
•2 Engineering •2 Geology •2 Physics •2 Transporters
Think Tank. While this personnel is facing a dilemma at a mission worth 50 or more points, you may have each Think Tank personnel present gain , , or until the end of that dilemma. You may do this only once each dilemma.
"Our resident expert on temporal physics."
Integrity 4 Cunning 9 Strength 1

4 •The Artificial Intelligence, Statistical Genius
Android
•2 Astrometrics •2 Navigation •2 Programming
Think Tank. While this personnel is facing a dilemma that has a cost of 1 or more and does not require a skill at a mission worth or more 50 points, you may prevent and overcome that dilemma. If you do, your opponent reveals a number of dilemmas from the top of your dilemma pile equal to the cost of the prevented dilemma, then places them face-up beneath a mission they command. You may do this only once each turn.
"The mind of mathematician and the soul of an artist. I'm afraid he'd much rather be modelling a fractal sculpture than analysing the data of our latest astronomical scan."
Integrity 4 Cunning 10 Strength 0

7 •Think Tank Ship, Modest Vessel

Unknown Class
Cloaking Device. Think Tank. While you do not command a headquarters mission, you may play this ship at Caretaker's Array. You may play equipment and Think Tank cards aboard this ship.
"The Think Tank is out there somewhere, hiding in subspace. How do we find them? And even if we can, their ship's hull is neutronium-based alloy, impervious to our weapons. How do we capture them?"
Range 9 Weapons 9 Shields 12

3 •The Dome
Artifact. (To play this card, you must have completed a mission requiring Acquisition, Anthropology, or Archaeology.) Think Tank. While you command a Think Tank card, you may play this equipment as though you commanded a completed mission requiring Archaeology. Your personnel at this mission gain Telepathy.
"In answer to your earlier question, this device allows the members of our group to communicate telepathically."

•3 Isomorphic Projections
Artifact. (To play this card, you must have completed a mission requiring Acquisition, Anthropology, or Archaeology.) Think Tank. While you command a Think Tank card, you may play this equipment as though you commanded a completed mission requiring Archaeology. While this equipment is aboard your ship, each of your Telepathy personnel on this planet cannot be captured or killed while facing dilemmas and you may exclude them from combat.
"You have a visitor. Mister Kurros has returned in isomorphic form."

•Vidiian Space, Cure The Phage
50
2 Biology, 2 Exobiology, 3 Medical, and Cunning>48
The first time each turn that one of your personnel would be killed by a dilemma, that personnel is stopped instead if this mission is complete.
"A small group of minds, but we have helped hundreds of clients. We turned the tide in the war between the Bara Plenum and the Motali Empire. Re-ignited the red giants of the Zai Cluster. Just recently, we found a cure for the Vidiian phage."
Any affiliation (except ) may attempt this mission
Span 4

•Hazari Space, False Paradox
35
Diplomacy, Intelligence, 2 Treachery, and Cunning>34
Your personnel may attempt this mission as though it were worth 50 points. When you complete this mission, you may take a personnel you do not command from your brig or any player's discard pile and place him or her aboard your ship at this mission. You now command that personnel. That personnel gains Think Tank.
"Pure tactics, psychology. That's how they solve problems. That's what we have to do. They've created this paradox to manipulate us into giving them Seven of Nine."
Any affiliation may attempt this mission
