OpsSite Rule hint for this cardThis card has an clarification: The affiliation of a personnel or ship downloaded to any site using this site’s text must match the affiliation of the Nor. A treaty makes cards compatible but not matching affiliation. You are not required to have a personnel in Ops in order to download a card to any site. Only the destination site must be unopposed. A “card which may play there” is one which is allowed to play there by the text of the destination site (e.g., Security Office, “SECURITY-classification personnel and hand weapons may report here”), or by its own text (e.g., Weapons Locker “plays on ... Security Office”). If an additional card is required to allow the card to play there, it may not be downloaded (even if the additional card is present). For example, you may not download a non-SECURITY Bajoran to Security Office even if The Emissary is there; you may not download a Breen CRM114 to the Security Office even if a Breen or arms dealer is there.

Arguably the most valuable of all sites, Ops certainly does give you more flexibility in reporting than any other. Only OFFICER-classification personnel can report here, but you can use the game text here to download any matching personnel to another unopposed site on the station. You didn't draw Odo? No problem, download him to the Security Office of Deep Space 9 / Terok Nor? Need Enabran Tain? Download him to the Guest Quarters of a Nor. Beware, power like that comes with a price... Ops is the place where your opponent can commandeer your station. Be prepared to defend against that if necessary.
Combos:
- Automated Security System + Ops + Nor: Your Cardassians sure won't mind a little extra security. An opponent trying to commandeer your station will have a different opinion.
- Ops + Infirmary + Science Lab + Security Office + Ore Processing Unit: All the major personnel types you'll need to overcome the most difficult dilemmas are just a download away.
