Since the current environment has games that last just a handful of turns, I'm trying to make a deck that starts quick. I need a card draw before the play phase of Turn 1 ends, so I can actually play the card I'm downloading to hand in place of that card draw.

There are lots of good ways to make this likely - Mutation, Temporal Almanac, HQ:Executive Orders. I'm looking to make it certain. Here are a few I've thought of:

3 seed cards, one planet mission
Rishon, Process Ore, Alternate Universe Door

A headquarters, HQ: Shipyards, Call for Reinforcements.

The Great Hall, Illegitimate Leader of The Empire, HQ:Executive Orders.

3 seed cards one site, one Bajor Region mission
Supplant Opposite, Unrelenting Lust For Profit, Deep Space 9 with Quark's Bar (you download Grand Nagus Zek to hand and then play him, drawing a card).

Does anyone else have any other thoughts?

Since yu have not revealed your intentions, I'll suggest Continuing Mission. Since I don't know if the card you intend to DL then play is a personnel or not, then you may or may not need an additional seed in order to play the first personnel for free such as New Arrivals

The plan is to use Group Therapy to download a personnel who can then immediately be played.

There are several of these [Fed] CIVILIANS, many of whom break all [TNG] [DS9], but who are quite good - Amanda Grayson, Rebi and Azan (for [SCC]), and Kes, and a few who can play inside those boxes like Guinan, Chef, Lal, and Jake and Nog (mostly relating to their ability to use Stembolts).

I can't download the personnel in question directly -- say by using U.S.S. Enterprise-A to get Amanda or something similar -- because I'm going for Karne Lowes using Assign Support Personnel so that I can start grabbing the genetically enhanced crowd once per turn.

Shouldn't be that hard though. I'm thinking Maybe Rishon procesing ore is the easiest as I'm already playing the AU door.

Can "once each turn cards" be used in play phase or only in orders phase?

So no Obelisk into a Masaka and covert 1 draw into a [Fed] CIV DL in the play phase? Had Obelisk said once every, you could have done it on their turn if they went first.
