Welcome to the eighth season of the monthly Thematic Challenges! For those who are new to this, this challenge was started in 2011 by MattgomeryScott and was rebooted by me in 2019. Every month I will announce a topic or theme and everyone may create a dream card during that month and post it in the month's thread. Voting will be done during the next month. Everyone is invited to join and we appreciate every single submission. At the end of the year, there will be a little bit more demanding challenge and we will announce the overall winner of the season.

This season I would like to give multiple votes a chance. In the past it happened all too often that we had tied monthly winners. In hope to spread the field a bit, everyone will receive three votes. You do not have to use all three votes, but now you can clearly mark your top three of the monthly entries.[/b]

And as always, feel free to contact me as I am always looking for feedback and ways to improve this.

    Your opponent chooses a personnel and a personnel card in your discard pile. Unless they share one or more of the same skills, stop that personnel.

Back to the drawing board....
The worst/best bit about this submission is Infiltrator.

Whether on the sea or amongst the stars, ships and the paranormal have always gone hand in hand. After all, many a sailor can tell a tale of a ghost ship... :shifty:

My Entry:

[Fed] 4 *U.S.S. Essex, Ghost Ship

[Cmd] [Stf]

[TNG] [Pa] Daedalus Class

When you play this ship you may lose 5 points to download up to three [TNG] personnel you do not command and place them aboard this ship. Your opponent now commands those personnel. At the start of your next turn, you take command of those personnel.

“The U.S.S. Essex under the command of Captain Bryce Shumar disappeared in this sector over two centuries ago.”

Range: 7, Weapons: 6, Shields: 6

Notes:

A ship and crew for the mere cost of 4 counters and 5 points may sound too good to be true... but what mischief can your opponent cause before you've solved the little passenger problem that comes with it? Though it doesn't appear on screen, word of Okuda is that it was Daedalus class, and as that was a bridge between the NX and Constitution classes I've given it stats between the two.

All the Best,

Mattgomery Scott.

Ocampa

Place on ship if Honor + Greed > Treachery. Ship must do nothing but travel to far end of spaceline, discard dilemma. Then crew is attributes -2 until end of your next turn (unless you have Celebratory Toast or discard Klingon Death Yell).

Since Paz never closed this contest or started the next one I'm sliding in!
[Dual] More of Gravy than of Grave
If Holodeck or Holo-Projector present, crew or away team stopped until the end of your next turn, discard dilemma. Otherwise, to get past requires Cunning>40.
The Ghost of Jacob Marley shows up and messes with you if you have projection technology, so it's a good anti-Fed/ [Holo] meta card which also makes a serviceable anti-redshirt card if no shenanigans are around.
