    Site Site
    Playable at: Any Nor - Ops Modul.
    Compatible OFFICER-classification personnel may report here. Any player may, in place of their normal card play, download to an unopposed site on this station one card which may play there (if reporting a ship or personnel, must be of matching affiliation); player draws no cards that turn. Any Computer Skill personnel unopposed here may commandeer station.

    Rule hint for this card

    This card has an clarification:

    The affiliation of a personnel or ship downloaded to any site using this site’s text must match the affiliation of the Nor. A treaty makes cards compatible but not matching affiliation. You are not required to have a personnel in Ops in order to download a card to any site. Only the destination site must be unopposed.

    A “card which may play there” is one which is allowed to play there by the text of the destination site (e.g., Security Office, “SECURITY-classification personnel and hand weapons may report here”), or by its own text (e.g., Weapons Locker “plays on ... Security Office”). If an additional card is required to allow the card to play there, it may not be downloaded (even if the additional card is present). For example, you may not download a non-SECURITY Bajoran to Security Office even if The Emissary is there; you may not download a Breen CRM114 to the Security Office even if a Breen or arms dealer is there.

    Taken form Glossary - Version 1.9.5.

    Arguably the most valuable of all sites, Ops certainly does give you more flexibility in reporting than any other. Only OFFICER-classification personnel can report here, but you can use the game text here to download any matching personnel to another unopposed site on the station. You didn't draw Odo? No problem, download him to the Security Officeimage of Deep Space 9 / Terok Norimage? Need Enabran Tainimage? Download him to the Guest Quartersimage of a Nor. Beware, power like that comes with a price... Ops is the place where your opponent can commandeer your station. Be prepared to defend against that if necessary.

    Combos:

    • Automated Security Systemimage + Ops + Nor: Your Cardassians sure won't mind a little extra security. An opponent trying to commandeer your station will have a different opinion.
    • Ops + Infirmaryimage + Science Labimage + Security Office + Ore Processing Unitimage: All the major personnel types you'll need to overcome the most difficult dilemmas are just a download away.
