I made these for a friend who wanted to start hosting his own game. Both he and his wife were huge Star Trek geeks. Since I'm also a fan of the ST universe, this was the easiest chip design project I've ever taken on.

Anyone following this thread is probably aware of what Section 31 is. If you are not, in short, Section 31 is the Federation's "Black-Ops" division. Each chip is 2-sided. The obverse with a metal Starfleet logo reflecting the base chip color and the denom in a spot color. The Reverse has a different ship from the series and a spot matching denom and club name.

- T25 Enterprise NX-01
- T100 Voyager
- T1000 Defiant
- T5000 Enterprise NCC-1701
The ship-denom selection was intended to be from the weakest ship to the most powerful, but that would put the defiance on the T5000, which would see little play. Since DS9 was the couple's favorite series, Kirk and crew were shifted to the T5000. Besides, we all know Kirks swagger and Spock's awesomeness would still manage a win over the rest of the fleet.
The friend later divorced, and the chips were given away to another guy that wanted to start hosting. That guy is not a Star Trek fan (in fact he dislikes the show), and eventually bought plastic sluggos to replace them.
Since the games are usually held on nights I'm not available, I'm unsure of what became of the Trek chips. These are among the few pictures I have of them.
