Not anything that's come up recently, but something I'm thinking about...

Certain ships can only be staffed by specific personnel (e.g., Fesarius, The Think Tank's Ship). Let's say I have a personnel in play impersonating that personnel (e.g., via Impersonate Captive). Can my "Arturis Founder" fully staff the U.S.S. Dauntless? Or are they not Arturis enough?

That doesn't work.

Rulebook:

Opposite versions and impersonators are not versions of the original persona, so players may have copies of both in play at the same time. Impersonation matters during infiltration.

So someone impersonating Arturis is not version of the Arturis persona, and so cannot staff the ship.

Characteristics can be conferred on someone "pretending" to be a characteristic they are not (like Vedek Dax being a Vedek) but not names.
