While not part of the team per se your forgot Inara (courtesan). She added an odd mix of skills including negotiation and the ability to open doors, both with her contacts and her beauty and charm. For anyone who has not seen the show Firefly (or the followup movie Serenity) I highly recommend it. I am a big fan even have the opening song as my ring tone.
