I think it is a missed opportunity. Arne Darvin or 1701 O’Brien would have sold like crazy for people trying to do the tribbled collection and would have also gotten more players to buy the recap packs. But maybe they figure this will help players with exobiology and recaps that way. Keeper is just so old though.
Let's see... school has been done before. I don't know what Trek birthdays and anniversaries are in September. My calendar shows Hispanic heritage month. Maybe Rios and Culber are possibilities. Can't remember if Rios was already in a campaign. I have Culber at 4/5, so he's not really my first choice for game reasons. But you know who I really want? Ensign Tendi from Lower Decks is voiced by a Hispanic voice actor. And I want some Lower Deckers in the game.
Failing that, I can get on board with the TAS thing.
She has a first name.
But, her besty was unaware.......
I forgot her last name over the summer and I don't think I even knew her first name. And she's probably the character I enjoy most onscreen! (I unsurprisingly relate most to Boimler.) On a related note, I think a Visiting Tom Paris would be an easy card to whip up. I wouldn't be surprised if he's not one of the first from LD. Ditto Titan Riker and Troi. Of those three, only Riker currently has a variant in the gray shoulder uniform. I usually stick with "wishlist" rather than "speculation" but I'm feeling confident about this. Some combination of Paris, Riker, and or Troi, possibly with one of them being new.
And, the 800th episode of Star Trek taught that {apparently} one Caitian year is equal to seven Vulcan years.
"The truth is like a lion; you don't have to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself."
I don't have the Keeper at all. I have Vina at 2/4. I expect for Voyages to give me my final two copies before the Campaign does.
I'm a little tempted to buy the Campaign. He's a good gauntlet crew and part of the Exobiology collection but he'll be of limited use otherwise. I skipped the last campaign because Brahms is an entirely unremarkable crew.
I have Keeper at 3/5 but I am not interested to have 2 of them....
Will have to think about it little more....
I'm gonna pass. My Keeper is also at 3/5, and I have Vina at 2/4. I can continue being patient. That's $9.99 I can put toward expanding my Bogie library. Them discs ain't gonna buy themselves.
October two new crew. The pipe cleaner aliens from the TOS Halloween episode.
EDIT: "CATSPAW"
Please!!! I’ve been asking for those two for so long!!!!!
I don't wanna say what I just thought of looking at both pictures of them. Because if CBSV/TP/WRG/DB does it people might be unhappy at the resources needed. But one of the "Human" forms {the male I would say} as a 4* and the other as a 5* opens up that fun thing that never goes wrong and never causes controversy!!!!!

Seriously? Why would you use pejorative language such as “PipeCleaners”? This was not cool, and I thought you knew better.
I have been wrong about many things in my life, many times, but one thing I will not tolerate is the use of language to make someone else seem lesser. There is absolutely no excuse for not treating a fellow human being with respect.

Now see? I took your original response as a JOKE, since I thought you knew I was referring to the little puppets that definitely were not the best work the effects people ever did, and look like parts of them were made using pipecleaners. Did not even know you seriously missed the joke.
In case anyone else is too young to remember when pipecleaners were a thing.
People still use them for arts & crafts.

Could you both calm down? They literally were made with pipe cleaners! A fact is not an insult. The truth might hurt, but it is still the truth. Referring to them as the pipe cleaner aliens, is like referring the Horta or Excalibians as rock aliens. It is a good comparison that helps ID them specifically. If anything, it pokes fun at the prop maker.
My sister referred to one of my cats as the "skunk baby" his entire life and has since, because Tarquinus had the misfortune of being a long haired, black and white cat who had a blaze that reached the back of his head and then picked up again on his back and tail. The vet told me she didn't do "exotics" when I took him and his brother and sister in for baby shots. It got awkward when I plopped the poor little guy out where you could see more than his big, fluffy, striped tail.

That's okay. I made the mistake of assuming some things about Human intelligence. Won't happen again. If everything I say has to be TWISTED in other to fit a narrative and an agenda, then so be it. There will be no further ammunition.
"The truth is like a lion; you don't have to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself."
Since we know what September will bring, let's go for October.
We got Eerie Encounters with Proto Barclay and the M-113 Creature the first Halloween and Haunted Heroines last year with Pah-Wrath Keiko and Tieran New. I'd call Caldos Crusher as the 5*. She'd be perfect. She's newish, but in the portal. Good stats, too. Ideas on the purple or a theme?
Maybe Author Jake with a "The Visited" theme?

My top choice would be something themed around the "horrors within."
Conditioned La Forge
Prisoner O'Brien
Both are very solid crew, even if they aren't at the tippy top of their respective strengths (which is rare for campaign legendaries). La Forge should be powerful enough to attract a fair number of folks who don't care about theming.
I wouldn't mind a Sord/Gorn combo for big ol' monsters. I could maybe see subbing in Mr. Vup since fewer people are likely to have that card.
Dark Empath Troi and Ardra would be a fun theme, and no doubt a popular one.
Dr. Korby and Dejaren would be a creepy pairing. And I'm sure folks wouldn't mind another android with PIC S2 on the horizon.
Six degrees in Inter-species Veterinary Medicine. Treating all manner of critters, from Tribbles to Humans.

Oooh, those are all good too. It's hard to pick a favorite. A costumed/alter ego theme could work, like T'Mir and Kamin Picard or Breen Dukat/Breen Kira. I guess it isn't a surprise that a Sci-fi series has a lot of options at Halloween.

I still hope that we might get a Mutated Paris as the campaign 4* for October. I have Evolved Janeway immortal, but I also have a dupe at 3/5*. For those who have just started the project a free 4/4* Paris would be very valuable
