Speculation on Summer Mega Event Bonus Crew

All Augments is an easy possibility.
Perhaps all DS9 officers/crew. It would be ridiculous to have any crew who appeared in the show. But where do you have the line? Crew of DS9 would not include Jake, but in some seasons it would include Rom and Nog. But it wouldn't include Garrett or Quark if only station crew. But we also can't really have essentially all Bajorans and Cardassians.
How does it go down?

Garak. Autocorrect got me. He is not crew or staff, but he is DS9. The show wouldn't the same without him. Yet what lines do you draw? If no lines are drawn, then you end up with a ridiculously high percentage of the total. Reward as bonus crew. I like lots of bonus crew, but it does make a difference of who we need to level in preparation.
Out of that lot, only my RAF Julian Bashir (at 1/4) is also an augment. I have no other Augments worth mentioning.
That's actually more bonus crew than you can poke a stick at. Or only 1, depending on how it goes down.
And quite a lot (16) which need extra stars.
It will be interesting to see how this goes down.

The Discovery mega event started just after Discovery was on TV, so there were not a lot of Discovery crew.
There have been a lot of crew in DS9 from other series, including Kirk, Spock, Uhura, Picard, Riker, several Klingons and more.
It may be limited to main crew of the series, if so a named list would be good.
Does Changling Bashir count as a Bsshir?
From that DS9 episode where Natalie and Tootie are preparing for finals, and Quark tries to sell them memory enhancers.
Remember Brutal-Doctor? They've done insane things before with bonus crew.
For a one off, sure. But an entire month?
example:
Bonus crew:
• high bonus: event crew and recurring 5*
• small bonus: variants of Sisko, variants of Kira, crew with the Augment trait.
I think we're gonna see some one off DS9 crew, so that would be tight some events.
There really aren't enough Augments to make that the only bonus crew (other than the featured crew) for a Mega. I could see them erring on the side of too many (include DS9 crew) over limiting it with just Augments. After all, there are only 12 Augments in the game of which half of them (6) are 5* crew that most players won't have and 3 of them are 1-3* crew that aren't really useful. That leaves only 3 useful Augment crew that players might have (Augment Riker, Young Khan and RAF Bashir). I don't see how they couldn't include DS9 crew.
That’s a fair point. Maybe it will be variants of the DS9 main cast only: Ben Sisko, Kira, O’Brien, Bashir, Odo, Dax, and Worf. That should be a pretty long list, and one that covers crew of all rarities. Adding Jake, Quark, Rom, Nog, or even Garak might make the list a little too large.
P.S. Does anyone think the freebie Will Scarlett Worf from TNG would count as bonus? 😀
Perhaps, but they had the chance to do that with the Romulans this month and they didn't. Just not enough augment bonus crew to actually let them carry the story line. They will likely release a handful to boost overall numbers and make the story line about them moving to the gamma quadrant or something and needing DS9 help. Add an augment pack so players can boost existing augment crew, give a out a freebie beast all month and voila, fun had by all.
