Gowron of Borg
by Evan Lorentz

In a parallel universe, the glorious Klingon Empire was threatened as never before when Gowron himself was assimilated as a counterpart by the Borg. When you use him in your deck, you get very impressive STRENGTH and four skills not available on any drone, including the all-important Diplomacy. You get a ready-made counterpart to use on the Klingon homeworld (Expose Covert Supply), and an attack/defense bonus to make even the battle-hungry Klingons think twice about coming your way.

Of course, if your opponent doesn't seek you out, you can always hunt them with Gowron's special skill. Once per game, Gowron of Borg allows his hive to initiate battle regardless of current objective. Now you can threaten your opponent into huddling near their facility without even using A Change of Plans and Eliminate Starship. Even while you're working to scout one objective, you can destroy one of your opponent's ships with your Cube, then return to scoring points with half your opponent's personnel properly dealt with.

Combo:

Borg Queen + Locutus of Borg + He Will Make An Excellent Drone + Gowron of Borg + Kurlan Naiskos: If you convert Locutus to a drone, select CIVILIAN for the Queen's skill, and add Gowron to a Cube staffed with MEDICAL, SCIENCE, SECURITY and ENGINEER drones, you'll have a working Kurlan Naiskos. And that ship gets one chance to initiate a battle. How about using WEAPONS of 72 to destroy one of your opponent's facilities?
