How about a Gangster Mega Event?

I would like to see a mega event based on the TOS episode, A Piece of the Action. In the episode, the crew of the Enterprise visit a planet whose culture is based on a book about Earth in the 1920's, which left behind during a previous Federation visit. It could be fun to more of that good ole Prime Directive conflict - which came first, the chicken or the egg?
Crew with the Criminal or Constable trait could be bonus crew. It would be a small pool, but I think it would work. I would like to see a couple of the "bosses" added to the game. Maybe variants of Kirk, Spock, and McCoy where they were taken prisoner. Maybe use some SR's from the old west collection for the existing SR's.
The game could use some excitement. Would this get you interested? Who would you add in? Who would you make the recurring legendary?

Expanding on your gangster plan, If you wanted to expand the criminal pool a little bit, adding thief might be a good route. There’s a lot of overlap, but it adds a couple more crew to make it still small, but less so.
I would love this!
There are certainly 'criminal' possibilities from DS9 - offhand, if we're going for somewhat obscure, I'm thinking of the twins that Quark tries to make a deal with and one gets killed (by a third criminal, if I recall). The tie-in could be that they get caught up in a battle between factions on the planet, perhaps smuggling something to one of the factions? Or if we want a less one-off possibility, perhaps a new Garak variant from when he bombs his own shop (Garak variants are currently under-represented in light of the impact he had on the series, IMO). Surely there are opportunities for Garak to wreak some havoc in a Piece of the Action inspired event.
Just a couple quick ideas. Best if I get back to the thing I'm supposed to be doing at this time of day.

You beat me to it! That is my only concern for this proposed mega, because without those two characters it really wouldn't work.
Only on a Tuesday when the orchids are depressed!!!!!!

Existing SRs could be Tommy Gun Dixon, Waitress Ezri, Duchamps, and Incognito Kirk?
Love Garak and Quark, so yes there. Agree with your proposed legenaries. I would swap out Dixon or Duchamps for North Star Archer to get ENT some representation and Incognito Kirk for New Eden Owosekun so there's DSC and not two Kirk's in one mega event.
I mean... You guys are probably right, but... I'm going to go over there and stick my head in the sand and hope they could get the rights.
I might expand the name a little and call it "cops and robbers". That way we could get an odo variant, a Scotland Yards Worf, and Deputy Alexander.
There was a similar one some time ago, with Prisoners and Interrogators as bonus crew, but I wouldn't mind another one. I like the event plot that your suggested
Also:
Felix Leech and Nicky the Nose.
Storm Front the mob helped Archer stop the vampire looking alien. In World War Two.
You guys are coming up with a lot of characters that I forgot about. Would it be too much or over the top if the Tuesday packs also went with the theme so we could include more of these characters?
Just had a brain fart: its a shame Joe Pesci never did an appearance in Star Trek as a gangster, can you imagine the great sound bite:
How am I funny, like a clown? What is so funny about me? What the **tsk tsk** is so funny about me? Tell me. Tell me what's funny.
The Tuesday pack being mega themed for the month is something I've been hoping for. Turn the entire month into the mega theme instead of just the events. Before skirmish events, the arena reward was mega themed too.
But after the last mega, I'll be happy if the event crew are mega themed.
Kivas could be the Mega Recurring.......
He would work as recurring in just about ANY mega event. I look forward to him being added.
