Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Fluxx

**Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Fluxx®** is a variant of the Fluxx® series. It was released on May 23, 2019 under dual license by Looney Labs and Gale Force Nine. It is based on characters and situations depicted in ***Star Trek:Deep Space Nine*** which originally aired in syndication in the US from 1993 to 1999. It was the third of four *Star Trek*-related sets made by Looney Labs. As of August 2023, it is still available from the Looney Labs Webstore.

### Packaging

The Packaging for **Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Fluxx®** is the standard flat 2-part box (4 13/16" length x 3 11/16" width x 1" depth) currently used for Fluxx® sets. The box holds all the cards in two piles with a cardboard divider insert keeping said piles apart for storage. It also holds an instruction sheet and a catalog of Looney Labs merchandise.

### Cards

The deck contains 100 cards: 15 Actions, 3 Creepers, 36 Goals, 24 Keepers, 15 New Rules, 5 Surprises, 1 Basic Rules card and 1 Meta Rule. All cards carry the following copyright information under the Fluxx logo on their backs: *"TM & © 2019 CBS Studios, Inc. STAR TREK and related marks and logos are trademarks of CBS Studios Inc. All rights reserved."*

The headers describing each card type on their fronts are in a fan-created font known as "Federation DS9 Title". This is a variant of the "official" font style known as "Star Trek Film BT" or "Galaxy", the same font used for the show's title.

The card art was produced by Kevin Hill, who has done the art for all of Looney Labs' "Star Trek"-related releases.

#### Icons

Some of the Keepers and Creepers carry one of four special Icons on them. The Keepers may have one of three Icons: **Starfleet Officer**, denoting personnel assigned to the station, *Visitors and Other Personnel*, covering everyone else who frequents the station, and **Equipment**, which refers to the various devices used by the station personnel. Some Creepers carry an **Attaching Creeper** Icon, which means that the Creeper must be attached to a specified type of Keeper with one of the two above-mentioned Icons if available. Once attached, the two cards are considered a single unified card until the Creeper is either removed from play or another card specifically says to detach it from the Keeper.

*NOTE: The **Starfleet Officer** Icon used on this set and the Star Trek: Voyager Fluxx set is interchangeable with the identical **Crew Member** Icon used in the Star Trek Fluxx and Star Trek: The Next Generation Fluxx sets.*

### Promo Cards and Expansion Packs

To date, two Expansion Packs have been released that are directly compatible with the set: the **Star Trek Fluxx: Archer Expansion** and the **Star Trek Fluxx: Porthos Expansion**. In addition, although not specifically mentioned on its packaging, the **Star Trek Fluxx: Bridge Expansion** is also usable with this set.

   In addition, one Promo Card was produced specifically for this set: **Ezri Dax**, a Keeper of the Trill Station Counselor who became the Dax symbiont's ninth host after Jadzia Dax's death, as played by Nicole de Boer. The card carries the "Starfleet Officer" Icon, and its' lore is as follows: *"Counts as Jadzia Dax."* As of 2023, it is still available in the Looney Labs Webstore (SKU: LOO-800-085 / MSRP: $1.00). To date, it is also the only "Star Trek"-related single Promo Card released.
