Small bonus for Dax, does this include Ezri, Lenara and Arjin or Just Jadzia?
The bonus is only for Dax. Not for Jadzia, Ezri, Lenara, or Arjin. Just for Dax. So anywhere Dax is present, the bonus is applied.
The problem is not that people cannot read ... the problem is that for some players the word Dax is unclear and does not offer anything concrete.
In-game ... if you search "Dax" in the vault ... you miss a number of bonus-crew for the event (Princess Jadzia, the Odo variant etc.).
@~peregrine~ 's link does help ... but what it does not tell you is that Mirror Ezri does not provide a bonus.
The problem, therefore, as is so often the case, is that TP's communication is bare-bones and of fairly poor quality.
In these cases, where there might be ambiguity, the event post could just include a copy/paste of a list of bonus Dax crew ... something like this (in italics crew that do not come up in vault search):
Bonus Dax crew comprise of the following:
1*
Desert Ezri Dax
Lt. Jadzia Dax
2*
Festive Jadzia Dax
3*
Sniper Ezri Dax
Tourist Jadzia Dax
4* Waitress Ezri
(1701 Jadzia Dax - included here for completionist's sake, but she actually provides big bonus)
Blood Oath Jadzia Dax
Mirror Jadzia Dax Princess Jadzia
And voila ... I think about 95% of the posts for this event thread would instantly be gone, because players wouldn't ask and others wouldn't need to reply.
You would think that after 4 years of the game those in communications would have picked up on the fact that clarity in communication is key and sometimes a little more information provides a lot more clarity.

To be fair to TP, maybe they didn't think it would need to be stated that Anjin does not count as a Dax.......
What if I told you not every single nit needs to be picked literally to death?

That has nothing to do with it ... the term Dax inherently provides confusion for some because it includes 3 different characters ... and some variants of those 3 do not fall under Dax.
Furthermore, "Dax" is not a fully functioning search term in the vault ... compare that to this week's Exobiology:
- Do I get all bonus Exobiology crew if I put that into the search field in the vault? YES.
- Do I get all bonus Dax crew if I put that into the search field in the vault? NO.
I work for a company that has over 100.000 employees worldwide and I write official documents that can potentially be read by all of those people. If I use terminology that might not be 100% clear to ALL employees when reading a document (without having to do their own search into what it means) I clarify what those terms mean ... this is mainly around the use of (technical) acronyms that not everyone might know.
Clarify could also mean adding a link in a document ... if I'm writing something about the use of the Agile methodology I might not provide an in-depth summary of what that means, but can just state ... (for more in-depth information about the Agile process, please visit [link provided]).
You can kinda see how these kinds of solutions can work in an event notice.
e.g. Bonus crew for the following event include Worf variants. For an overview of all variants of Worf please visit https://stt.wiki/wiki/Worf (notice the list include Duchamps and Will Scarlett ... they don't come up in a vault search for Worf).
or Bonus crew for the following event include Quark variants (including Herbert Rossoff).
This is not rocket science, but it does require an awareness of communication strengths and weaknesses.

I think this would be a handy list for Shan to copy and paste into Dax event posts. She does it for the Discovery mega events, so it makes sense. Not that I think it's terribly important this week, because...
For a galaxy i really miss to see the point why you should even bother to unfreeze „small bonus“ crew(except legendaries, but if u have frozen legendaries ur roster is probably sooo deep that it still doesn t matter).
Just unfreeze Evil Kirk and 1701 Dax and all is fine for 99,9% of players. 🤗

But for newer players that don’t have them they might need to unfreeze others.
For anyone that has the event crew - yes, unfreezing random small bonus cards is a waste of time. But if you don't have either 4* card yet, then the pool of "small bonus" cards becomes more meaningful. Obviously a newer player could be in this boat, but also folks that routinely airlock non-FF cards because of limited space (I'm thinking VIP0 or otherwise low spenders). Some of the small bonus cards can also be weak surrogates for the 5* cards in some recipes too, if the player is lacking the 5* card(s).

I doubt newer players have frozen any or much 4* crew, since most benefit from them even when their stats isn t great, since their roster isn t deep.
Plus, if you only wanna do like 130k for the 4/4 SR crew. It really doesn t matter much if u have bonus crew or not.
But whatever. Freeze and unfreeze away. Merits shouldn t been an issue for any active player these days.

I think at one point people assumed the bonus was being triggered by the Trill trait.
If it was anything else but a Galaxy I would totally love it. Reruns are the best.
Another personal downside in this case is that this will be my first copy of Captain Kim, but oh well - you need to start somewhere.

True somehow. But there are very few half-decent Kim variants so every bit helps. The Captain is not all bad at least.

For as much as it might help anyone, 4* Delta Flyer Kim has the exact same skillset in order as this legendary version and is better than him at 1/5*:
P.S.: My Beowulf will probably sulk all weekend belowdecks, where all of my non-FF 5*s reside.
I like to think of all those unfused legendaries as the party scene in “Titanic”, with some random 1/5* whirling with glee atop the tabletop, not knowing that a forthcoming beGold+ from an honor sale will save him or her from the upcoming iceberg that is the iciness of the airlock.

I can't find documentation of how much event crew and bonus crew get for the builds during a galaxy event. I seem to remember seeing 10x for event crew and 5x for bonus crew. Does anyone happen to have documentation of that?

Didn't Dax just evaluate and train Arjin?
