and will there be community rewards since it is part galaxy?
The full event details don't come out until the day before. What you get on the Friday before is what has been posted here - event type and featured crew.
That said, full galaxy and hybrid galaxy always have community rewards.
Two new, instead of one already existing. I like that it's hybrid, so I can go for 4/4 threshold and probably not spent any chronitons on it. Three weeks without a full Galaxy (and the fact that we are spared a 5-day galaxy-only) is much appreciated.
I was hoping for Mirror Quark...he plays a minor role only, but at least he is canon. I hope there will be a Ferengi event soon. I think Quark is for a main character of seven seasons underrepresented. Would love to see a cool version of him...preferably with high DIP, so I can finally finish those pesky final two missions
Mirror Troi: Inevitable, hope the art matches Mirror Beverly, who looks really good.
Mirror La Forge: Ugh, just look at how the comic art. This is going to be that ugly Mirror Data all over again.
Mirror Janeway: MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! If that's not a deliberate troll job, I don't know what is. I'm torn between dismay at the arrogance on display here, and letting it go because this is so hilarious. *Of course* they managed to shoehorn Janeway in (pro tip for new players: level your Janeways, folks, always.)
no Mirror Riker: In a battle between their love for Janeway and their love for Riker, at last we have a decisive winner. Sorry Will.
Will with this news, I look forward to Ferengi, Romulan , Cardsssian & Vorta Janeway concluding future Mega events.
You forgot Augment Janeway, Bajoran Janeway, Combs Janeway...
Ferengi mega event would be awesome (although a faction-based mega event brings with it the problem of tons of faction-only items)...many people hate Ferengis but I always loved their absurdity.
In the end I think there is too little diversity for a whole Ferengi mega event...a Ferengi centered regular event would be fine too...for all I care including a 5* Ferengi Janeway
Just wait for the upcoming mega event "The Quest for Coffee". All Janeways as event crew ... no one else.
Somehow, the narrative for that mega-event will require four different weeks of killing Archer personae that will never be released for us as crew members.
Okay, seriously, what is up with Janeway saving the day in all of the mega-events and Archer not getting into any at all?
My personal theories: (1) someone important in the DB team really likes Janeway (my guess is Erin; after we burned her on all the Rikers, she's gone to her second choice). (2) Since the actors have to approve use of their likeness, Mulgrew is signing off on anything/everything, but Bakula is more picky.
(1) is a given, though just who the culprit is remains a matter of speculation. As for (2), it's worth noting that Mirror Archer already exists and could have been featured as an existing 4* in the final event. Also, while not appropriate for this mega-event, there's still the Captain Archer that appears in the text for one of the missions (and I think somewhere else?) who still hasn't been released as a crew member for us to get.
what factions will be part of the faction portion of the event?
If you'll notice the current event, during a hybrid, there's only one faction in the faction phase. It seems unlikely they'll change that standard. As for which it will be, you're welcome to try to guess along with DB. I'm content to wait until Wednesday.
I actually snorted when I saw the Janeway inclusion.
Troi could be interesting, and with it being a Galaxy hybrid I may have to shoot for her. I don't have a good Geordie yet either, so game on I say!

I didn't know this was true, so I looked through all the hybrid events of 2017 on the wiki. All were single faction except First Impressions which was 2 factions.
I've never been less interested in playing an event. On the plus side, I can put all of my mirror characters back in the vault. Crew crunchth has been killing me.
Then there's Mirror Odo, Mirror Quark, Mirror Leeta...
And from Enterprise we're still missing Mirror Forrest, Mirror Soval...
But yet, we get Mirror Janeway. I was okay with the Mirror TNG crew, because I like the TNG gang, and it was only one per week.
Mirror Janeway is just pushing all the wrong buttons.
I desperately wanted Mirror McCoy as well. This event missed the mark on so many levels. People were so excited to get all of the most sought after mirror crew and after 4 weeks, we are left with only Mirror Jadzia and Mirror Mayweather with the wrong art.
Erin, you know we're kidding about Mirror Janeway. NO ONE wants fake non-canon Janeway. It's a running joke that she always ends up in these Mega events. Not sure which of your game designers isn't in on the joke, but it really needs to stop.

Cardassian wishlist:
Tora Ziyal - Thanks!
Natima Lang
Empok Nor Garak
Tekeny Ghemor
Mira
Makbar
Dejar
Ulani Belor
That might be worth it, just for the artwork.
Yeah, after typing that I realised I kind of want a Combs Janeway :P

And for some reason, she must have Medical and Engineering.

Added Engineering.

I think Picard is still the most featured character in STT...which is fine with me, since Picard is the most awesome character of all...

That totally cracked me up!

Okay. Who called Mirror Janeway? Somebody did, I know.

Prior to the Voyage nerf I'd planning on going all out. Meh.
