    So what if only a small number of Vidiians were ever seen on-screen? If their universals are going to have wide skill lists and dual personnel types, they won't need a large personnel base.

    Case in point: Thaden. Not only do MEDICAL and ENGINEER remain perennial favorites to be featured on dilemmas, but his other skills aren't pushovers either. Astrophysics? A rare goody for tougher dilemmas. Transporter Skill? Ever rarer and has fringe benefits such as working your Dominion ally's Invasive Transporters. Do I really have to sell you on Navigation's importance in this game? Thaden supplies all of these in one duplicatable package that can be played for free with The Vidiian Sodalityimage in play.

    You can be sure that the Vidiians won't be crippled by The Next Emanationimage with universals like him.

    Combos:

    • Thaden x2 + The Cloudimage: A quick pass through the dilemma.
    • Thaden + The Vidiian Sodalityimage + Jem'Hadar Attack Shipimage + Invasive Beam-Inimage: Ally yourself with the Dominion and go Organ Harvesting on any opposing ship or facility. The buffet is open allllllllll night.
    • Thaden + Sorumimage: 3 different classifications, 6 different skills, and a way to alleviate the low-attribute blues.
