    Once the Deep Space Nine expansion and the Bajoran affiliation came out, Kyle's prediction proved true. By far the easiest way to get to the Gamma Quadrant is using the Bajoran Wormhole--but you have to get it into play. That's dead easy for the Bajorans or Federation: just use The Emissary's special download for the Alpha Quadrant end, which then allows you to download the second card for the Gamma Quadrant. Stock The Emissary in your Q's Tent to get him out early.

    As for the Orb icon, one of its most impressive uses is with HQ: Return Orb to Bajor, to acquire Orb artifacts on encounter and score points for "returning' them to Bajor.

     

    Combos:
    The Emissary + Orb Negotiations + HQ: Return Orb to Bajor: Seed any or all of the Orb artifacts here. The Emissary can collect them all before completing the mission, and then solve the mission single-handedly.

    The Emissary + Bajoran Wormhole + opponent's Black Hole: If you played your Bajoran Wormhole without using his special download, you can always use it to download a copy to nullify a Black Hole that is ready to destroy either end of the Wormhole.
