Original Crew

I started playing November last year when I found out about the game. I saw a commercial during a rerun of TNG on bbc America.
So starting 11 months late I’ve often wondered what it was like in the beginning. Who were the original crew? How many?
I can assume Captain Janeway. Anyone know the rest?

Best suggestion: setup a second F2P account, and see for yourself!
I did that a few months ago & started with Hugh for sure, and I *think* the 1* Chief Engineer Torres, 2* Doctor Crusher (which I didn't get on my main account for almost a year), 2* Cmdr Riker, and a couple other 1* & 2*. (Worf, Seven in Blue)
The main problem is with F2P, I filled up the 35 crew slots really quickly, especially with a few events that rewarded some good 4* crew.
I quit that account after 2 months, as it was just an experiment, but it was fun, and frustrating at the same time, doing things on my main account that I could never do on the F2P.
Have Fun!
I should have been more clear. I started last November and I wanted to know who was around January 2016 on the first day the game started.
Captain Janeway was the free super rare from the daily reward the first 4 months so I would guess if she wasn’t there on day one she presumably was there by the end of the month.
The game launched with roughly 140 characters, if I recall correctly. All 1* (except Stargazer Picard, who was in the game but was unavailable), most 2* crew and most 3* were already there, but that's no surprise (very few of these characters are introduced in packs or events).
I don't think that a list is available: it was for sure available in the old wiki, but the old wiki is no more.
Any day-one player can write that list, but... yeah... it's a boring exercise. Aside from that... yes, Coffee Janeway was in the game from day one, as you suspect.
Anyway, I found an exported list of crew I had from the Wiki on March 6th 2016 with 136 crew. There may be 5-8 crew that are not an original, but it's probably as close as you're going to find. I remember the total when I started with the wiki to be upper 120's lower 130's. Events didn't exist and crew wasn't being released at a rate of 10+ a month like they are now. Enjoy!

Edited based on posts below:
- Removed Arachnia Janeway - didn't come till March 31 in They Came From the Holodeck
- Removed Temporal Agent Seven - not released until Mar 1, 2016.
- Added special notes on Bashir, Julian Bashir, Locutus, and Mirror Spock
Seems like most of the Firat Contact crew was there from the beginning. They made up a lot of the legendary.
Also surprised how some of the legendary held against the power creep. Degra and Lt Com Dax are still really strong.
Mobile dr is still #1 core med, so for the people who had him since the beginning he’s been a work horse.
Also didn’t realize Locutus was around that long. Seems like they had a lot of movie crew to start.
How did players get super rare and legendary crew? Only way was buying portal for 650?
I still don't have the Mobile Doctor. I have the other 4 variations of him though. Always loved Robert Picardo and got to see him at SuperCon in Florida 2 years ago (a lot of cast across series were there for Star Trek 50th).
Locutus has been one of those strange crew since the beginning until the Gauntlet started. He existed, but he didn't. A few beta players seemed to have him. He even showed up on the weekly Disruptor Streams in crew lists being shown by staff. There were many elusive crew at that time. DB was still trying to get the game to stop crashing, freezing, and other technical difficulties that he was on the back burner for awhile. Here are the notes from his crew page:
- This character was first released as compensation for a customer service issue, and was originally unavailable through any portal or faction center.
- Locutus of Borg was officially introduced to the game as the rare reward in the Gauntlet, with client version 1.7.1 (1.7.0 on iOS), on January 31, 2017.
- Locutus of Borg first became available to portal packs in September 2017, as part of the time-limited Rejoin The Collective pack.
Portal pulls and specialty packs as far as I can remember. I look back at a lot of crew I had to airlock (even after completing) before Cryostasis was available.
Pazlar and Leeta.
When DB first added cadet challenges there were a lot of missing crew needed to complete them. They did one pass and added a bunch of 2* crew. Pazlar and Leeta are the two I remember since they were needed, but I think there were others. After that bunch of 2*, the only 2* added have been Odo, Janeway, and Saru.
4 Bashir, Julian Bashir <-- not available as a drop, later remade as 5* Bashir
5 Locutus of Borg <-- only available through CS grants, not available from packs
5 Mirror Spock <-- same as above, not available from packs
5 Lore <-- not a launch character. 4* and 5* were originally best chance of drops
4 Temporal Agent Seven <-- the first best chance of character in game, was not in regular packs
The rest of the list seems pretty indicative of the characters at launch. It was easier to fuse things back in ye olde day. Only way to get characters was from the premium portal or event packs. The event deals (i.e. $100 deal with 2/5) was a later addition as well.

Retired 12-14-20. So long, and thanks for all the cat pics!
you mean "only available from the Great DB Email Debacle of 2016"
Hey... that's how I got mine!
1* Chief Engineer Torres
1* Ensign Mayweather
1* Desert Ezri Dax
1* Lt Sulu
2* Behold! Promoted Sisko, Enterprise-D Picard, Captain Kirk
The Starter Pack was revised earlier this year and now includes:
2* CMO Crusher
2* Lt Commander Data
1* Lt Sulu
2* Seven in Blue
2* Behold! Promoted Sisko, Enterprise-D Picard, Captain Kirk
Also, now as then, all players start with 1* Commander Spock for the compulsory selection of a Federation victory at the end of the tutorial.
This is incorrect. Arachnia Janeway was an original crew. The first event didn't have a new 5*. Proton Paris was the first and only event crew.
