Wesley's STCCG card of the day #88

Hi, folks,

I'm back! And I've dug out a beautiful card for ya:

VASH

Personnel, Federation, rare.
Integrity 3
Cunning 8
Strength 4
CIVILIAN, Archaeology x 2, Treachery, Anthropology
"Extraordinary archaeology treasure hunter. Traveled with Q. Romantically in- volved with Captain Jean-Luc Picard. Lovable character, not to be trusted."

This is what you might characterize as "a Romulan with a blue background." With her low Integrity and her Treachery skill she would make the average Rommie (also high Cunning!). But as it stands, this card makes for an inter- esting but not necessarily great Federation character. Her greatest asset is anthropology, a skill only three Feds possess. The other two are Nikolai Rozhenko) and Darian Wallace (common Security, otherwise worthless)

Wallace isn't really worth comparing, but the comparison to Nikolai R. is quite interesting. His attributes are almost the same (3/7/4) and he has Computer Skill instead of the Archaeology x2. Now which card do I prefer? When using one of these two, it is because I need some very rare (though momentarily also rarely used) skills. So, I'd better go for Vash as she's a key character in my deck anyway if I use her and in this case the rare Archaeology is worth more to me than the much more common Computer Skill.

Favorite combo(s):

Nikolai Rozhenko + Vash used in an espionage deck (these two back up each other so I can afford losing one of them)
Vash + Picard + * + DNA Hunt
