INTRODUCTION
This Current Rulings document is the official supplement to the Star
Trek CCG Glossary version 1.8 published in August 2002. A complete set
of Star Trek CCG First Edition rules, which should be used by tournament
directors in making tournament rulings, consists of Glossary Version 1.8,
the latest version of the Current Rulings, and (after the release of Second
Edition) the latest version of the First Edition Conversion Rules. (The
Rulebook is intended as a simplified starting point for beginning players
and should not be used as a definitive guide to the rules.)
A few entries in the previous version of this document have been deleted
but are still in effect, as they were already included in Glossary Version
1.8. Also, the special rulings for the 2002 World Championships have been
deleted.
Using this document: When a ruling or card question arises, you should
check this document first, followed by the Glossary, using the card name,
game text word or phrase, concept, or card type. A Current Rulings entry
will usually state if it replaces all or part of a Glossary entry; otherwise,
the entry supplements any previous Glossary entry. (A few entries in this
Current Rulings document are already contained in Glossary 1.8. Abbeviated
entries are included here to alert players to the few significant gameplay
changes in the Glossary that were not previously included in the Current
Rulings.)
Rules questions which are not covered in the Glossary, Current Rulings,
or First Edition Conversion Rules may be emailed to trekanswers@decipher.com.
Although rulings and clarifications may be made by Decipher personnel
in various forums, they are not considered official unless specifically
noted or included in an officially published rules document. Such unofficial
rulings are highly recommended for use by tournament directors, but the
TD always has the final authority on rulings.
An entry preceded by a Delta symbol represents a change in
gameplay since the last Current Rulings. If only part of the entry is
new, it will be underlined. To give tournament directors and players
a chance to familiarize themselves with these gameplay changes, they will
not be effective until one week after the date of this document.
§ An entry preceded by a section symbol is a new
or changed entry since the last Current Rulings, which either emphasizes
existing rules, clarifies text where no clear rulings yet exist, answers
a frequently asked question, or rewords or reproduces an existing rule or
ruling. Such entries are either already in effect due to previously published
material, or are effective immediately.
Cross-references that have no corresponding entries in the Current Rulings
refer to entries in the Glossary. Entries are arranged alphabetically, ignoring
apostrophes and quotation marks and treating hyphens, dashes, and colons
as spaces. Entries for specific cards starting with "The" are sorted according
to the second word of the card title (e.g., the entry for The Emissary is
in the E's, not the T's). Universal Borg drones are listed by their designations
(e.g., Interlink Drone, not Nine of Eleven); unique drones are listed by
their card titles (e.g., Seven of Nine). Text in square brackets represents
an icon. Refer to the Glossary for a complete icon legend.
