    Bat’leth by Evan Lorentz Klingon fans have been waiting a long time for this card to appear in an expansion. Now that it's here, you'd better believe you'll be seeing it in a number of decks. While the STRENGTH +2 bonus is similar to that of the Klingon Disruptorimage, this weapon does not enhance Non-Aligned personnel. In exchange, you pick up the ability to mortally wound one adversary your Klingon just stunned. It's perfect when you need to get rid of one particular personnel, so don't automatically spend the ability at the first opportunity.

    Combo:

    • Bat'leth + Bat'leth + Bat'leth: They're cumulative, so go ahead and pile 'em up. Bat'leth + Fek'lhr: He'll stun anyone he pairs with in all but the most extreme cases. A Bat'leth (and Disengage Safety Protocolsimage, of course) turns him into a one-beast wrecking crew.
