The History of Star Trek CCG: Necessary Evil
|
Updated March 16, 2004
This 180 card expansion for the Star Trek CCG Second Edition adds
new strategies for all affiliations, and brings to the forefront some of
the darker moments of the five Star Trek television series. The stakes
are higher and the risks greater, but the rewards are also great –
if you are willing to accept Necessary Evil.

Factoids
- Of the five Star Trek captains, Jean-Luc Picard appears on the
most non-personnel cards – 13 (and no personnel cards) – in
Necessary Evil.
Notable First Edition/Second Edition Card "Counterparts"
The anti-redshirting dilemma Lack of Preparation first appeared in First
Edition's First Contact expansion. (A "tribble-ized" version appeared
in the Trouble With Tribbles starter decks.) It was later reissued with
new Voyager imagery and lore in the Voyager expansion. Necessary Evil introduces
a new form of the dilemma – with Original Series imagery – for
Second Edition play. All three versions depict an Away Team beaming into
a situation.
