I'm sure that given the dearth of extra detail, as the show is still under production until late next month, we can only speculate about the additional voice cast members, and hence other possible supporting characters.

As I see it, given the size of the "mothership" (as seen in the PV), the "Godly Nine" would also require dozens and even hundreds of people to provide them assistance behind the scenes (almost just the same way that stage staff work behind the scenes to help the girls during their performances), as well as countless number of underground sympathizers.

I can only speculate how the command structure of the "Godly Nine" would look like: Takamina is, of course, the team captain, but Aachan is the team's center and hence the identifying face of the group; given that she's somewhat nerdy in nature, I'm sure Mayuyu would be the resident tech geek of the team, fooling around with electronics and communication equipment; and Sayaka (as she's the one throwing grenades while singing) is one of their combat specialists.

On the other hand, given the amount of exposure time in the PV (and her central position in the official artwork), Nagisa Motomiya would most likely to be the main protagonist, the would-be "center" of the research students.

Wow. Never thought that Sayaka's mom came from my country (just like Megumi Nakajima), and also... damn, she's the strongest Captain in the whole crew, and would sometimes cosplay as a warrior. It is only fitting that Ayako Kawasumi's (given her credo as Saber) taking this fighting role and throw everything she has at her opponents.

Hehe, great job Shawako did there:
