This main mirror meanie not only packs a set of skills that we'd expect from someone behind the wheel of the I.S.S. Enterprise, but proves to be a very versatile character indeed!
His Leadership x2 and OFFICER classification will be able to lead the Empire in battle (remember Emblem Of The Empire lifts affiliation attack restrictions for your personnel) or helps you through the plethora of dilemmas requiring Leadership (you wouldn't want him encountering the Gorn though). But that's only where the fun starts! Always had trouble with In The Pale Moonlight or Zaldan when playing Federation? Not anymore, as Tiberius' treacherous nature supplies the otherwise honorable affiliation with his own little way to get things done. Don't forget The Art Of Diplomacy if somewhere along the line you'd need a more civilized approach : James T. practices it very well.
Tiberius also provides a single serving of Archaeology to assist SCIENCE personnel in the Hunt for DNA Program or the occasional Excavation II. But the Tantalus Field is the real prize! Zap those intruders or target anyone on the other side of the spaceline. That's right : "here" means "anywhere at that location." All that without even solving a mission! Your opponent's sense of security just went out the door. What about that Classic Communicator, for the ultimate flexibility in that deck? Pretty much add any skill present when you need it.
Combos:
- James Tiberius Kirk + Tantalus Field + Lt. Uhura + Hail: It is a good day when you grind your opponent dead in his tracks only to kill off one of his prize personnel in your turn.
- James Tiberius Kirk + Classic Communicator + any personnel: You just solved Wormhole Negotiations, half way there!
- James Tiberius Kirk + Tantalus Field + Emblem of the Empire: Roam the spaceline, attack on a whim, vaporize your opponent's key personnel and use Process Ore to its fullest to get back the discarded cards. Sounds like a plan!
- James Tiberius Kirk + Tantalus Field + opponent's Brunt: Now where did I selfseed that Q?
