- When the troubled Commander Sisko takes command of a surrendered space station, he learns that it borders a unique stable wormhole.
- Commander Benjamin Sisko, whose life has changed after his wife was killed in the battle with the Borg at Wolf 359, is to take command of the space station Deep Space Nine near Bajor. The station had been built by the Cardassians, as Terok Nor, but recently taken over by the Bajorans after a very oppressive occupation of their planet was ended. Sisko's task: The station had been left in ruins - stripped by the Cardassians after they withdrew. Merchants are preparing to leave, and its Bajoran commander, Major Kira Nerys, seems to dislike the Federation. When Sisko gets to talk with Kai Opaka, the Bajoran religious leader, she tells him he is the long awaited emissary of the Bajorans. Once Commander Sisko arrives with his teen-aged son, Jake, they're introduced to the constable of DS9, a 'shape-shifter' named Odo, and Quark, a Ferengi, who, as owner of the bar on the stations promenade, is also head of the Promenade's Merchant Association. Soon, the Federation's science officer, Jadzia Dax, a Trill: medical officer Dr. Julian Bashir, and Chief of Operations, Miles O'Brien arrive, and before there's even a chance to settle down and begin clean-up operations, a mysterious wormhole appears, exhibiting the unusual ability of having stability - which no other work hole had ever demonstrated. Very quickly, what was initially thought to be an outpost at the very furthest reaches of the Federation - and, the Alpha Quadrant - turns out to be a crossroads; for some, familiar races and dangers; to others, never encountered before.—Arnoud Tiele (imdb@tiele.nl)
- The time: the 24th Century. The setting: Deep Space Nine, a ramshackle space station orbiting the planet Bajor. The mission: to help the Bajorans rebuild their world from wasteland left by their enemies, The Cardassians. For Commander Ben Sisko, this will be no easy assignment. Especially when his new crew includes a Bajoran ex-terrorist, a curmudgeonly shape-shifter, a Ferengi thief, and a dual entity whose beautiful human body is inhabited by a 300-year-old slug-like life form. Sisko's leadership abilities are soon put to the test as he faces a war with the Cardassians and a fateful encounter with the one man he holds responsible for his wife's death--Captain Jean-Luc Picard!—Robert Lynch <docrlynch@yahoo.com>
- TV movie that launched the 3rd Star Trek series. In this pilot, Commander Ben Sisko is assigned to a formerly Cardassian space station, now held by the Bajorans.
