I have certainly started as Rebels with a single DN straight off the bat, as I lucidly remember starting a new game over and over again until I got it. It's quite possibly dependent on the exact game version, or even the exact Windows version as back then I was using 98 Cursed! *spits over his shoulder*. It was the version off my CD as well, I didn't have home internet access back then either and barely knew what a patch was.
