    Transporters are used on a very regular basis in the ST universe without incident, apart from a little phobia every now and then. However, sometimes little "mixups" can occur and, BAM, there you have the evil Mirror Universe crew of the I.S.S. Enterpriseimage standing right there on your bridge! Here is a card that allows you to "transport" up to four mirror folk (or vice versa) into the opposite quadrant.

    This card fits best into decks that are using both Mirror and the Alpha quadrant. Decks with somewhat of a Ferengi flavor in addition to the Empire, but most likely the Alliance, can most easily and effectively use this mechanic. This also works well if you are using a Nor. The folks you discard to complete your transport can be "processed" back into your deck through ore processing.

    Combos:

    • Ferengi Conferenceimage + Froolimage x3 + Transporter Mixup + 3 universal Mirror Personnel of your choice: Fairly easy setup for a quick personnel download mechanic. All you need is a Nagus, and Quark's Barimage or a Ferengi facility. For an added bonus, use Process Oreimage to send the Frools back to your draw deck and repeat the whole thing.
    • Mr. Romimage + Mr. Nogimage + Mr. Bruntimage + Mr. Quarkimage (all x 2) + Romimage + Nogimage + Quarkimage + Bruntimage + Transporter Mixup: Discard the four Mirror Ferengi to download the 4 Alpha versions. Since the four Mirror Ferengi just left play, you may download them again per their game text.
