Provenance

Where it came from

The Horta card, identified as number 152 in the Star Trek Customizable Card Game (First Edition), was released in 1994 by Decipher, Inc. The card depicts the iconic silicon-based lifeform from the original series episode 'The Devil in the Dark.' As a common creature card, it was designed to integrate the creature's unique biology and defensive acid capabilities into the game's mechanics, allowing players to represent the elusive inhabitant of Janus VI.

The artwork was provided by Arthur Haas, who contributed a range of illustrations to the game's early sets. Haas utilized a style consistent with the game’s goal of capturing the aesthetic of 1960s television sci-fi while adhering to the technical specifications required for gameplay cards. The card is noted by collectors for its straightforward design and its role in populating the game's creature roster with recognizable entities from the franchise's history.
