Series Summary
Series Premise
After 50 years of occupation by the
Cardassians, the planet Bajor is now free again. But,
because of the social, cultural, economic, and environmental
devastation the Cardassians caused, the Bajoran people
are in need of assistance from the Federation to help
them rebuild. When they withdrew, the Cardassians left
behind a space station that they had used to mine the
planet. At the request of the Bajoran Provisional Government,
Starfleet takes over the administration of the station,
which they call Deep Space Nine (the Cardassian
name for the station was Terok Nor). However, when
the Starfleet officers arrive on Deep Space Nine,
they find that the Cardassians basically trashed the place
before they left. All major systems have to be repaired
or replaced. However, not all political factions on Bajor
accept Starfleet's presence, causing political turmoil
on the planet.
Deep Space Nine is composed
of a central Operations Center, a commercial area known
as the Promenade, docking and service bays for visiting
space vessels of all sizes, and a habitation ring. Although,
at first the station was a virtual "ghost town"
on the frontiers of explored space, the discovery of a
stable wormhole close to Bajor has transformed Deep
Space Nine into a hub for trade with the still mysterious
Gamma Quadrant (a sector of the Galaxy that lies tens
of thousands of light years away). But through the wormhole
also comes trouble, in the form of the Dominion and its
slave warriors, the Jem'Hadar, who pose one of the most
dangerous threats ever faced by the races of the Alpha
Quadrant.
