Star Trek™ Customizable Card Game™ GLOSSARY

assignment or task to perform, which may
score points or provide other benefits. It
may play on the table, or play on and affect
another card. A seedable objective may
seed during any seed phase unless
otherwise specified.
Playing an Objective card uses your normal
card play.
An objective may require you to target
(select) a ship, planet, personnel, etc. If the
target of the objective is removed from play
or becomes an invalid target, the Objective
card is immediately discarded. Otherwise,
the objective remains in play until nullified,
discarded, or relocated according to its
game text. Once an objective is completed
or resolved and is relocated somewhere to
mark this (e.g., Establish Gateway, Hero of
the Empire), it may no longer be nullified.
Points for an objective with a point box are
scored when the objective is successfully
completed. Performing other listed results
of the objective are additional results and
have no effect on scoring the points.
A Borg player is limited to one Borg Use
Only [BO] current objective at a time. Any
player may have any number of non-[BO]
objectives in play at a time.
Observe Ritual – This mission is not a
homeworld.
Obsidian Order – See skills – using.
occupied ship – Your ship is occupied if
you have any crew aboard. See empty
ship.
Ocett – See Non-Aligned.
Odo – See equipment.
off line – See damage.
Omega Particle – This event may play
only on your outpost, even if downloaded
with Harness Particle 010.
on planet – Cards which are in a planet
facility or aboard a ship landed on a planet
are also “on planet.”
on table – A card that “seeds on table” or
“plays on table” is placed in a special area
on the table away from the spaceline. Cards
on the spaceline are not considered to be
“on table.”
once each (every) turn – See once per
turn.
once in play – When a card has an effect
“once in play,” that effect continues for the
rest of the game, even after the card is no
longer in play (unless another card
specifically cancels the effect). For example,
Mortal Q’s restriction box says, “Once in
play, your Q-Continuum is inactive.” Even if
Mortal Q is killed, your Q-Continuum
remains inactive for the rest of the
game. However, if you nullify (discard) your
Mortal Q with Immortal Again, your Q-
Continuum is reactivated, as stated on
Immortal Again. See rest of game.
once per game – When a card has an
effect that may be used “once per game”
(including special downloads), you may use
that card’s effect only once during a game,
no matter how many copies of that card
you have in play during that game (even
universal cards). For example, you may
download Reflection Therapy only once per
game with Suna’s skill, even if you play
multiple copies of Suna. You and your
opponent may each use such text once per
game if you each control a copy of that
card. If the same “once per game” skill is
included on different cards, you may use
the skill once for each card; for example,
you may use the ability to destroy seed
cards once per game for Ajur and once per
game for Boratus.
“Twice per game” and “thrice per game”
work similarly – you may use such an effect
only two or three times per game,
regardless of how many copies of the card
you have in play.
once per turn – A card whose effect is
limited to use “once per turn,” “once each
turn,” or “once every turn” can be used
only once during a turn regardless of the
number of copies of that card you have in
play, except for cards with a universal ❖
icon and cumulative cards. Each copy of a
❖ or cumulative card may use a “once per
turn” effect once during a turn.
One – This personnel shares skills from
other Borg present (but they do not share
his skills). See skill-sharing.
He has built-in transporters, as stated in his
lore, and needs no ship or facility
transporters to beam. Like all personnel, he
may carry equipment when beaming.
Oof! – Erratum:
This card has the [Ref] icon, and the
following erratum:
Nullifies Fightin’ Words. OR Place each
Amanda Rogers, Kevin Uxbridge, and
Q2 in opponent’s point area out of
play; opponent loses 5 points for each.
(Immune to Amanda Rogers.)
Open Diplomatic Relations – Each
seeded copy of this objective allows you to
seed one treaty during the doorway seed
phase.
Operate Wormhole Relays – See
wormholes – movement through.
Ophidian Cane – This artifact is played as
a response to saying “Devidian Door,”
allowing three Personnel and/or Equipment
cards to be reported to the same
destination.
opponent’s choice – See selections.
opposing – An opposing personnel, ship,
or facility is one controlled by your
opponent and which is not cloaked, phased,
disabled, or in stasis. See unopposed,
Patrol Neutral Zone.
opposite – See persona, mirror
universe.
Ops – The affiliation of a personnel or ship
downloaded to any site using this site’s text
must match the affiliation of the Nor. A
treaty makes cards compatible but not
matching affiliation. You are not
required to have a personnel in Ops in
order to download a card to any site. Only
the destination site must be unopposed.
A “card which may play there” is one which
is allowed to play there by the text of the
destination site (e.g., Security Office,
“SECURITY-classification personnel and
hand weapons may report here”), or by its
own text (e.g., Weapons Locker “plays on
... Security Office”). If an additional card is
required to allow the card to play there, it
may not be downloaded (even if the
additional card is present). For example,
you may not download a non-SECURITY
Bajoran to Security Office even if The
Emissary is there; you may not download a
Breen CRM114 to the Security Office even if
a Breen or arms dealer is there.
Orb Negotiations – You may seed any
number of different Orb artifacts (no
duplicates) under this mission, in place of
the single artifact normally allowed at a
mission.
Orb of Prophecy and Change – On this
artifact, “Insert it anywhere within your
draw deck” refers to the top card of your
draw deck that you just looked at, not the
Orb itself.
orbiting – See in orbit.
Ore Processing Unit – If you
commandeer your opponent’s DS9 with
Klingons, it is under Klingon control. You
may process ore (using the Process Ore
objective) even if you have Bajorans aboard
and a Klingon/Bajoran treaty in play, but
only with a [Klg] ENGINEER or SECURITY
personnel at this site. See
commandeering, facility – Control of
facilities.
Organ Theft – See immune.
Original Series icon [OS] – This icon
appears on Personnel, Ship, Facility,
Equipment, and other cards from the
original Star Trek series, as well as a few
cards from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. It
is used as a special staffing icon and for
other purposes defined by game text.
out-of-play – When directed to place a
card out-of-play, place it in a pile separate
from the discard pile. A card placed out-ofplay
may not be returned to the game by
any means (except by reversal of a Black
