Reflections 2.0 Sneak Preview – Vina

We're not quite ready to begin regular posting of card images for Reflections 2.0, but we will have a couple of sneak previews for you before that happens. The first one is everyone's favorite Orion slave girl – no, not the one briefly seen on Star Trek: Enterprise last week, but the one from the very first pilot episode for the very first Star Trek series. Vina wasn't really an Orion, but in The Cage (rejected as a pilot, but later incorporated into the two-part episode The Menagerie), the Talosians made her appear as one to Captain Christopher Pike in an attempt to get him to mate with her.

Although her only printed skill is Honor, she can nevertheless "be anything you wish" (as she makes clear in her lore). This green k'chiq (or Orion Queen, if you will) can select any one skill of your choice. And you can change it any time you can execute an order. How cool is that? And of course, as a Non-aligned personnel, she can be a slave to any non-Borg affiliation.
