    Wesley Crusher counts as "romantic partner" for the following personnel cards:
    - Robin Leflerimage (3 U 57) from Q-Continuum Q-Continuum
    - Suzanne Dumontimage (20 V 16) from Resistance is Futile! Resistance is Futile!

    The child prodigy that everyone loves to hate is actually quite an asset to a Federation deck. With Dataimage's classification and three of his skills, he's a very worthwhile backup or even a replacement if Data is missing from your collection. It's hard to have too much Navigation on a ship these days, and even Youth comes in handy for a few missions. While his attributes aren't too special, add Lakantaimage to your crew (highly useful for his "spaceline wraparound" special skill) and Wesley jumps to 10-12-9.

    Granted, you risk encountering the Ktarian Gameimage - Seize Wesleyimage combo, or even Wesley Gets The Pointimage. But if you consider that an acceptable risk, you may find Wesley to be the perfect Data substitute.

    Combos:

    • Wesley Crusher + Robin Leflerimage + any other Youth + Investigate Legendimage: Complete this mission the undiplomatic way, by discarding Wesley and Robin. (Until then, she adds 2 to his CUNNING and protects you from Ktarian Gameimage.)
    • Wesley Crusher + Lakantaimage + The Travelerimage: Let Lakanta enhance Wesley's attributes until you really have to get someplace in a hurry. Then exchange for his Traveler persona and let Wesley's Youth inspire him to move the ship before he phases out.
