    Just when you thought Mission Specialists were only for the original three affiliations, along come the Ferengi with perhaps one of the best Mission Specialists of all. Dr. Borts offers two personnel types straight-up, SCIENCE and MEDICAL. The value of those skills is immeasurable, whether they're saving you from some of the games nastier dilemmas or helping you solve missions. What's more, you can begin the game with them simply by seeding Assign Mission Specialists!

    Combo:

    • Dr. Borts + Bribery: Although your options for Ferengi missions with MEDICAL requirements are limited, other affiliations offer plenty of missions where Dr. Borts can use his specialty (Botanical Research, Eliminate Virus, Fever Emergency and Medical Relief, just to name a few). Bribe your way into those missions to maximize the doctor's benefit in your deck.
