    With an attractive 30 points and a measly span of 2, this premium mission has Vekor written all over it. Because it is a universal mission, you can start gathering plant life by seeding multiple copies, allowing you to cut down on mission-solving personnel and to stock other useful cards instead!

    A rather unusual feature is the ability to seed Atmospheric Ionization, which can protect you from early-game mission stealing if it turns out your opponent plays Federation, Klingon or Dominion.
