For commons representing Starfleet characters, we pulled:
- 001 Commander William T. Riker
- 007 Starfleet Admiral
- 008 Lt. Geordi La Forge
Riker and Geordi give some more options in addition to the ones from the previous Resistance is Futile set. The Starfleet Admiral adds another generic option to fill out a Starfleet team.

Our other commons represent alien factions including the Romulan Star Empire, the Cardassian Union, the Ferengi Alliance, and the Klingon Empire. They are:
- 002 Romulan Officer

- 006 Klingon Warrior
These generics should go a long way towards helping fill out non-Starfleet theme teams.
