    Do we really need another Klingon Vor'cha Ship? Some of you might think that we do. I'd feel the same if I was told there was a new Romulan D'deridex coming out. However, this is a Chancellor's Warship and it's totally tricked out.

    The I.K.C. Qam-Chee is the flagship of the "Fat Chancellor" himself. A Klingon Chancellor with High Council in his lore plus he has a matching ship? Qapla'!

    The image for this card is very nicely done. When I see it, I can imagine the ship falling off into my hands. The ship says in its lore that K'mpec is the matching commander, which is even better. The rest of the lore is just chock full of Trek info for us to read.

    The staffing requirements are two Command icons and one Staff icon -- not insurmountable given how many Klingons actually have a Command star. The special equipment on this ship is more impressive: Cloaking Device and Tractor Beam are standard. The standout text is "opposing cards here are attributes -1." This is a ship worthy of the leader of the Klingon Empire.

    The attributes for the ship are equally impressive to field: 8 RANGE, 9 WEAPONS, and 9 SHIELDS. These great stats are made even better by Captain's Log and Defiant Dedication Plaque.

    Combined with other ships in this set, I want to blow the dust off the Treaty: Federation/Klingon/Romulan and bring forth a three-way battle fleet once more.

    Card Combos:

    • I.K.C. Qam-Chee + K'mpec + Captain's Logimage + Defiant Dedication Plaqueimage = RANGE 10, WEAPONS 12, and SHIELDS of 12. Able to withstand a Borg Cube due to the Qam-Chee's special ability.
    • I.K.C. Qam-Chee + Mission Span of 6 + Outpost + Omega Particleimage = Blow up your own Outpost and have the Qam-Chee at the adjacent mission closest to opponent. With the -1 to attributes and the 9 span of the next mission, most ships will be very hard-pressed to continue past.
    • I.K.C. Qam-Chee + Gomtuuimage = Gomtuu can usually "hurl" a ship with SHIELDS < 9. When teamed up with the I.K.C. Qam-Chee, you can "hurl" any ship with single-digit SHIELDS.
