There is a particular piece of footage from Gamescom, where Shepard (wearing armour) walks through the CIC of the Normandy, past a crewman holding a datapad and wearing an Alliance uniform, looks up to the camera and says in german, "I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite booth at Gamescom."
Looks like the crew of the Normandy are Alliance soldiers. That's pretty interesting, I think. The fact that not only the Normandy is refitted but also has an active crew could be important. For all we know, Ashley or Kaiden were to be using that ship to fulfill their Spectre duties.

While that sounds like a cool feature, and I approve of it, it sounds doubtful it'll be incorporated into the game.
...So if our new crew are Alliance soliders, what happened to our old crew? Like Gardner, Donnelly and Gabriella?

That guy looked like Anderson to me.
But he was only for a second there so I can be wrong.
Need screenshot.

Well you couldn't seriously be surprised about this. The Alliance repossessing a Cerberus ship and leaving the Cerberus crew to serve on it would be rather weird.

No, no, no. Active crew. You know, crew that actually moves around the ship and does things instead of sit in one spot the entire game.Phaedon wrote...

Shepard is court martialed, I very much doubt that they repurposed the ship and assigned an active crew to it just for him. There is a plotpoint behind this.

Executed for treason.

Unless someone was recording that specific part, you'll have to go to the BioWare TV, and hope that they have the footage before the conference saved.TMA LIVE wrote...

Nice find!
If the Normandy's is full Alliance, I wonder what this will mean to the current SR2 crew - being as their Cerberus. I have a feeling most (if not all) will still be there only now left Ceberus to join (or in some cases rejoin) the Alliance purely because of Shepard. From what I remember the likes of Joker, Chakwas and the engineers aren't exactly the Alliance's #1 fans after how they and Shep was treated after he/she died.

I wonder what that means for the Cerberus crew. Even Joker and Chakwas were with Cerberus, and working with Cerberus is kind of frowned upon. Hopefully they'll be let off like Shepard.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Normandy was used for Ash/Kaidan's spectre goodies either.

In fact.
I think that Anderson refers to him as "Lieutenant" in the ending of the Earth level. Casey himself says that "Joker is probably in there"

Joker is confirmed to be the pilot of the SR-2 Alliance version with EDI by his side. Maybe the Alliance is open to the fact they joined/left Cerberus soley because of Shepard?Candidate 88766 wrote...

They can most certainly try. They took my beautiful Cerberus paintjob and my crew, so my Shepard's fuse will be on the short side by the we finally get the Normandy back...Phaedon wrote...

I liked Ken/Gabby (and Kelly, to an extent) but I wouldn't be surprised if they were incarcerated at the beginning of the game.
Plus, it would be nice to have Engineer Adams back.

This has been speculated about before and makes sense given that we know the SR2 is under Alliance control now.
Some of us were noticing awhile back, for example, that it sort of looks like Garrus has an Alliance-coloured uniform under his armour. That could mean anything really, but the colours and the collar seemed to fit with what we've seen Anderson and other officers wearing before.
It would make sense that the rest of the Normandy crew would be decked out in Alliance colours/uniforms now.
As for the Cerberus crew, many of them were formerly Alliance before joining Cerberus so maybe Shepard has convinced the Alliance to keep them onboard still.

I hope they explain things a bit, but I'm willing to let it slide. Joker is awesome after all.
As long as EDI is there too then I'll be content.

Why would people be surprised by this? If Shepard's standing trial, so too should the entire crew of the Normandy.
It'd be somewhat fun to have to choose just how loyal your Shepard is to the Cerberus crew. Would he try to save them while the Earth is under attack, or would he start immediately on the trail of stopping the Reapers?
I'm not shocked by this reveal at all. I'm more surprised by the fact that Joker would be piloting the Normandy. Then again, they could just as easily have saved him first, or sprung him. I can't wait for this subject to be brought up in game. I'm hoping it's dealt with well in there.
