(Opening narration for episode one of DS9) |
Thus began a second sequel to the original Star Trek, not with a whimper, but with a bang. It acted as an accompaniment to Star Trek: The Next Generation, which was winding down its own tv series in preparation for the jump into films. The events in Deep Space Nine ran concurrent with those of its sister production, with some of the cast of the latter appearing in the former, most notable Colm Meaney, the former Enterprise transporter chief, first seen on tv in an episode of Z Cars in the 1960s. Set on a Federation-run space station orbiting the newly-liberated planet Bajor, the series' main concern was the welfare of the Bajoran people, as their civilisation emerged from 60 years of Cardassian captivity and the complications that arise from their attempts to create an ordered world. At first glance, that might seem a rather dry formula, but the series was as creative and original as anything from the Star Trek stable, and the pilot story, The Emissary began the series in explosive fashion, detailing Commander Sisko's part in the battle against the Borg at Wolf 359, part of the ST:TNG story, The Best Of Both Worlds.
DS9's crew were
as varied as that of Enterprise-D's. Station commander Ben Sisko is a mature,
powerfully-built widower who is responsible not only for the crew and visitors
on DS9, but also for a young son. His wife Jennifer was killed at Wolf
359, three years before. In his approach to a command position he is much
like Jean-Luc Picard, but is far less restrained and perhaps not quite
so logical. He tends to lose his temper when controlled diplomacy is called
for. Nevertheless, he does his job well, and is much respected by his colleagues.
Dr Julian Bashir is a young, energetic station doctor, full of idealism
and dedicated to his work. Sometimes that enthusiasm can get him into trouble.
Major Kira is the Bajoran liaison officer. As energetic as Bashir, she
is a dedicated member of the Bajoran military, and shows a deep love and
concern for her homeworld, as it emerges, sometimes inharmoniously, from
Cardassian rule. Jadzia is a Trill who was selected to become the host
for a symbiont organism named Dax, a rare honour among her people. This
combines her learning with Dax's eight lifespans of accomplishment. Odo
is a shapeshifter with (initially) no knowledge of his origins, and his
pet hate, the Ferengi bar owner, Quark, is as shifty and business-minded
as any of his species.
Apart from the
main command team, who are all up to usual Federation standards in their
efficiency, Colm Meaney, who played Chief Petty Officer, and then Senior
Chief Specialist, Miles O'Brien of the Enterprise, continued in the role
when he took up a permanent post on the station, arriving along with his
Sino-American wife, Keiko, and their baby daughter Molly from Enterprise
on Stardate 46388.2, just two days before the new commander took up his
post. He was the first to be seen wearing Starfleet's (at this time) experimental
new uniform of a type of 'boiler suit' with the same colours as the standard
uniform but reversed. Sisko's son Jake soon made a friend of young Ferengi,
Nog, whose uncle is Quark, and various supporting characters made infrequent
appearances throughout the show's run.
Emissary (Part 1)
Stardate 46379.1 to 46390.1: Three years after barely escaping alive from the carnage inflicted by the Borg on Starfleet at Wolf 359, Commander Benjamin Sisko and his son Jake arrive on the abandoned Cardassian space station, Deep Space Nine. Sisko finds, whilst organising repairs and trying to keep the damaged station operational, that there is a 'wormhole' which leads into a distant quadrant of space near the station, and the Bajoran spiritual leader has a mission for him there.
