Khaless and other "special" crew: are they available in the Time Portal?

Hi guys!
I have a question: can characters like Khaless or Guinan be found in the Time Portal?
Or to get them / add more stars to them the only way is to spend 50K honors for a Citation?
Khaless is available in the Honor Hall only... Locutus and Guinan were / are Gauntlet prizes. Did someone found them in blue, purple portals?
And what about the Borg Queen, Kortar, and so on ? (I mean the mega-event recurrent crew).
It would be great to have a list which tells which crew is available in portals and which are not... thus it would be easier to decide for what to spend honor.

So basically what you are saying is that if I want to add more stars to Khaless I have to use a Citation for 50K honors, right?
Ok so if I want to add stars to Khaless, Borg Queen, Kortar, ecc... I have to buy Citations.
For Locutus one star comes from the Gauntlet achievement and then... Citations.
For Guinan there is still chance to get more free copies until she is still the Gauntlet prize.
Are there other crew like these, that cannot be found in portals? Is there a list of them?
It's probably about time for a portal refresh anyway, so I'll work this weekend to round up a list of crew that haven't been added and post it in the correct forum for Shan and BP to pass along.
Yes until such time as DB decides to make him available some other way. I would guess they may do this several months down the road after switching out the honor hall characters this month. After Picardgate I would hope they don't do it right after switching them out.
Unless DB decides to give it to us for free in our mailbox, correct....
I'm not even convinced credit, merit, and dil pull from the same loot table. We've seen enough DB mistakes in the past that it wouldn't shock me if they are different loot tables. That being said, they're SUPPOSED to have the same crew.
Voyages has it's own loot table. It looks like it was set up by copying the dil loot table when voyages launched. There is a thread where people are speculating that all of the crew from the DIL portal snafu are missing from voyages too. DB hasn't confirmed this, but no one has reported getting any of the crew yet.
5* Limited crew:
Guinan - currently available in Gauntlet as a random prize. Her only location of availability. 5/5 can be achieved from winnings or from citations
Locutus - former Gauntlet prize, since retired. Formerly available to day 1 players via CS swap, that loophole since closed. 2x available via Borg Mega Pack, no longer availble. Currently the only method to achieve him is to play 20,000 Gauntlet rounds and claim the achievement. After that, citations.
Kahless - currently available as a 1 time only purchase in the Honor Hall for 100,000 honor. This is the only place or time he has been offered for sale. After that, citations.
MEGA EVENT 5* Cards
Borg Queen - Previously available via the Borg Mega Event (4x), and offered in 2 Mega Packs (Borg Event Mega Pack and Borg Crew Mega Pack). Not in current loot tables or otherwise available.
Kotor - Previously from Klingon Mega Event (4x) and offered in 1 Mega Pack (Klingon Event Mega Pack). Not in current loot tables or otherwise available.
T'Kuvma - Previously available via the Discovery Mega Event (4x) and offered in 1 Mega Pack (Discovery Event Mega Pack). Not in current loot tables or otherwise available.
Mirror Picard - Previous available via the Mirror Mega Event (4x) and offered in 1 Mega Pack (Mirror Event Mega Pack). Also sent via in-game mail as 1 time gift/apology for event issues. Not in current loot tables or otherwise available.
*Special note - for 5* crew, after initially obtaining them, if you are under the right conditions, you may recieve a "Double Your Stars" pop-up to allow a one-time purchase of a second copy of that character for $24.99 US. This only applies to 5* cards.
4* Limited crew:
Fierce Guinan, Col. Worf, Thot Gor, Lucien, The Clown, Jannar - Those 6 crew are Voyage exclusives - you must trigger a certain string of Dilemmas with correct responses to earn them. They are one-time earns and cannot be re-obtained via another voyage. They are not for sale or any loot tables. After that, citations.
3* Limited crew:
Jazz Musician Riker - despite having been in the game for over a year, he has only been made available as a reward from 2 different events. He is not in the standard loot tables. The current only way to obtain him is to purchase him for 200 DIL from the Federation Faction store. After that, citations.
2* Limited crew:
No 2* variants are currently limited - all are available via the standard loot tables
1* Limited crew:
Stargazer Picard - currently available in the honor hall for 3500 honor. Previously only available for very limited times via the Federation faction store or the 90k portals, both have since been removed from those loot tables. No citations needed for 1*.
Only listed ones from before July 2017, which was most of what was in the last portal loot table update.
Captain Kurn (May 2016)
Doctor La Forge (July 2016)
Warship chakotay (dec 2016)
Trader Odo (January 2017)
Prospero Data (Feb 2017)
Warship Janeway (no date added in wiki)
For the 4*s, I think there are more than that missing but we are like 99% Warship Chakotay is missing. Kurn too.
There are several 5*s we suspect are missing that should have been in there (Trelane, Ump Odo) but aren't.
I have never once seen him in a premium pack and at this point, I've pretty much seen every 5* that's been out over a year appear as a pack reward or in a behold. I will admit I haven't seen Trelane either but I don't know when he came out. I do know Abe has been out for a very long time though, over a year.
Captain of the voyage vessels: Queen of Bashir, Landsknecht, and Sunspear, the first luxury starship cruiseliners.
Amenities include wifi, fully-functioning holodecks, a full-service bar, 3 party decks, a Trill spa, and a business centre.
Fun fact: The ships are propelled by bouncy castle technology.
3* Riker? Really? Are you sure?

All three are too new to be included. There's an approximate 6 month wait time between introduction and addition to the regular circulation.

Yes, Abraham Lincoln is also a limited time crew as well. He will never be added to the loot table unless he becomes an event crew.
That explains why I've had those two so long and have never got another star for either one.
I got a Dominion Dukat from the portal about a month ago.

Am I the only one who noted it says "Limited Time" next to Captain Kurn, but "Limited" next to Dukat? maybe that is why he is now a Portal Pull? Or do they mean the same thing? I know that Shan and maybe Pebble have posted that sometimes there are space issues with what can go on the Offer Frames......

Which is why I stated that they wont be added to the loot table unless they became an event crew. Both Ambassador Spock, Temporal Seven, and Klingon Quark were Limited Crew until they became an event crew. All three were in events. After they were used in the events, they were eventually added to the loot table.
I can’t find an example of a limited crew being added to the loot table until they were added to an event
Are you sure from the portal? I have never seen dominion dukat in the portal. I’ve seen him in the Dabo and in the faction center
Temporal Seven was limited crew and added to the regular portal (long before she was event crew) as were Warship Yar, Phoenix Cochrane, Admiral Janeway, Ushaan Archer, Ushaan Shran and others. The only thing "time limited" about those crew are that they are limited to their special pack(s) for an amount of time before being added to the regular portal loot table, or that's what we were told way back when anyway.
