Fleet Captain
Put together a crew from characters across the franchise. Only rule is, no regular stars, no one listed in their series' regular opening credits. No Spock, no Seven of Nine, no Dax. Recurring characters and guest stars only.

The exception: a main character in a not-quite-canon media, like a computer game, a novel or a fan-film.

For example:

Captain: Ro Laren (TNG)
First Officer: Shran (ENT)
Security: Anastasia Targus (Star Trek: Borg)
Chief Engineer: Jett Reno (STDisco)
Ops: Shree (Star Trek: Renegades)
Helm: Stadi (Voyager, "Caretaker")
CMO: Dr. Jarem Kaz (VOY relaunch books)
Director of Human Resources: Grudge (Disco)

Go crazy.
 
Captain: Lexxa Singh (Renegades)
First Officer: Paul Mayweather (ENT)
Comms: Ronara (Renegades)
Science: Feezal (ENT)
Astrometrics: Linus (DIS)
Chief Engineer: Brex (Bridge Commander)
Assistant Chief Engineer: Gilora Rejal (DS9)
Engineering Station (Bridge): Fixer (Renegades)
CMO: Selar
Tactical: Felix Savali (Bridge Commander)
Security: Alexander Munro (Elite Force)
Helm: Yara (Of Gods and Men), Kiska LoMar (Bridge Commander)
Historian: Xela (Of Gods and Men)
 
On the USS Uncanny Valley, where the ship's motto is: "You must have me mistaken for somebody else."

Captain: Shinzon
#1: Tom Riker
Science/Ops: Lore
Engineer: Geordi's Romulan Replacement
Tactical: Kurn
Doctor: Changeling Bashir
Emergency Counseling Hologram: The Goddess of Empathy
Helm: Nick Locarno
 
Just for fun I'm going to build it from alternate universes. Yes three of these are alternates of people that appear in the main credits but it was already tough enough.
Commanding Officer: Nog (The Visitor)
XO: Spock (Mirror Mirror)
Tactical: Natasha Yar (Yesterday's Enterprise)
Conn: That random Cardassian officer (Parallels)
Ops: 0718 (Into Darkness)
CMO: Beverly Howard (Q Squared)
CEO: Naomi Wildman (Shattered)
 
Captain: Edward Jellico (TNG, Chains of Command)
XO: Elizabeth Shelby (TNG, The Best of Both Worlds)
Science/Ops: Xon (Phase II)
Engineer: Olson (Star Trek '09)
Security/Tactical: Alpha Hirogen (VOY)
Doctor: EMH Mark II (VOY, Message in a Bottle)
Helm: Demora Sulu (Star Trek Generations)
Comms: Mr. Adventure (Star Trek III: The Search For Spock)
Protein Specialist: Edward Larkin (Short Treks)

You may wonder how this varied group from different timelines and times manage to get on one ship? I've got a perfectly reasonable explanation: Unclear :lol:
 
How about a ship of unlucky saps...

CO: Capt. Ransom
XO: Thomas Riker
Chief Engineer: Joe Carey
Medical Officer: Simon Tarses
Security: Joran Dax
Operations: Pete Durst
Helm: That redshirt guy who gave Wes a bathroom break in "Where Silence Has Lease".
Kids on Board: Timothy, Alexander, Barraj (aka Jean-Luc)
Pet: That dog in "Aquiel".

Joran as "Security" XD
 
Armed with a modified TR-116, of course.

EDIT: I really did try to find a female "hard luck case" character, but couldn't think of one offhand.

EDIT 2: If we had all those guys, plus Harry Kim and Miles O'Brien, on one ship, they would create a vortex of bad luck so powerful, the entire Alpha Quadrant would probably implode.
