When flying through the Beta Ursae, Alpha Trainguli or Zeta Andromedae Sector Blocks we're occasionally given the Duty Officer Assignment of (Alien) Officer Exchange. Alien being a specific set of species, depending on which of the three above sector blocks we're in, and which faction we're playing.
I believe the species are limited to:
- Cardassian (cross-faction)
- Bajoran (FED)
- Paradan (FED)
- Karemma (FED)
- Ferasan (KDF)
- Wadi (KDF)
- Dosi (KDF)
Might we also have a similar system set up for the new Delta Maps? The obvious rewards would be Talaxian (cross-faction), Ocampa (FED) and Kazon (KDF) - though I suppose there'd be no harm in throwing the Bentham, Hierarchy, Kobali (etc) into the mix too.
Just be nice to have some more variety. At the current rate, my FED crew is going to consist of a strong percentage of Paradans. :P

Given that many of the Delta Quadrant episodes revolve around building alliances with the various factions of the Delta Quadrant against the Vaadwuar, it would make sense that Officer Exchange programs would be a possibility, as part of these alliances...
It could even be taken a step further, by including an extremely rare assignment, whereby you attempt to convince a disenfranchised member the Vaadwuar (after the events of the episodes/patrols) to defect/seek asylum...
Of course Star Fleet would be happy to take Kazons, considering they are stupid enough to make an idiot like Janeway a captain!
