    Keras counts as "matching commander" for the following ships or facilities:

    This Card-Review article was written by Kathy McCracken and was published first on "Decipher's Website (decipher.com)" at Jun 29th, 2000.

    The Romulan commander from the classic episode "Balance of Terror," Keras is loaded with powerful skills, including two special downloads, and some of the highest attributes ever found on a Romulan personnel. Leadership x2 will help get you past Friendly Fireimage (Romulan decks tend to be loaded with SECURITY already) and Crisisimage. He ups the low Romulan Honor count by one, and adds the equally useful Astrophysics and Geology for space and planet missions, respectively.

    With a special download of Engage Cloakimage, he lets you regain a seed slot while still maintaining the ability to save up the RANGE of a cloaked ship for an extended spaceline hop. And if commandeering or assimilation of your ship is imminent, download Auto-Destruct Sequenceimage to thwart your opponent's plans.

    Combo:

    • Keras + The Centurionimage + Dr. Telek R'Morimage + Romulan space missions: With his trusted advisor at his side, Keras' attributes end up at a whopping 9-10-9, and their complementary skills of Astrophysics and Stellar Cartography make them natural backups for Dr. Telek R'Mor.
    • Keras + The Centurionimage + Dr. Telek R'Morimage + Khitomer Researchimage: Need a planet mission to balance that space deck? Try this one, nearly unused by Romulans because of the stiff Honor x3 requirement - but no problem for this Alternate Universe team.
