Thousands of years ago, the wormhole aliens known as "The Prophets"
by the Bajorans gave them nine "Orbs" to guide them. Eight were
stolen by the Cardassians during the occupation, but some have been recovered.
The Bajorans can now account for five of the Orbs: the Orb of Contemplation,
the Orb of Prophecy and Change, the Orb of Time, the Orb of Wisdom, and
(if we accept the events of the novel "Avatar"), the Orb of Memory.
(The Orb of the Emissary, found by The Sisko, is a tenth Orb previously
unknown to the Bajorans.)
Hidden
somewhere in the Star Trek CCG pages on this website are the four missing
Orbs. Your task is to find them and report their names and locations. Each
Orb (contained in its ark) looks similar to this one shown at right, with
the Orb's name below the image. (Since we don't know the real names of these
lesser-known Orbs, we've taken the liberty of creating names for them.)

The Winner
A whopping 209 people found all the Orbs (next time I'll try
to hide them better ;) ), with the random selection pulling out Brian
Bluma of Fort Worth, TX, as our winner.
