As you are soliciting ideas I thought I'd throw one out ... when I was SM it was always a favorite practice of mine to review the character biographies of my players and try find little tidbits that I could inject into a story. I remember I had one player once who's bio said her father was a smuggler. Well, when it came time for them to sneak behind enemy lines the Captain suggested they contact her father to help them. It made for a great opportunity for the player to really be a big part of the mission and was a great opportunity to broaden the 'universe' of the ship.

Perhaps a player mentions an Academy crush in her bio. What if that person were to show up during a mission with their life in jeopardy. Maybe they mention a brother who is freighter pilot. Well, what if the next mission involved a distress call from that very same freighter. Profiles are chock full of great stuff and, when injected in-mission, can really turn folks for a loop. Great fun.
