			       Introduction

    Star Trek: The Next Generation had, after several years in the
syndicated market, proven to be highly profitable for Parmount Pictures.
It continually placed high in the syndicated ratings, with only FOX's
animated "Batman" series vying for the title of first place winner in the
ratings among syndicated science fiction shows.
    Many people often felt however, that the type of stories that could be
told from the perspective of crew members cruising through the galaxy on a
spaceship were limited and different from the kind of adventures and
stories that could be told in a more static environment such as those on a
stationary space station.
    And so, the concept of telling stories which centered around the
personnel of a spacestation in a fixed orbit, began to take shape.
Providing the background for the concept was the long war between the
Bajorans and the Cardassians - two races introduced on Star Trek: The Next
Generation.
    The background of the space station is simple - it was a mining station
built by the Cardassians while they were in military control of Bajor.
After the truce between the two warring factions, aided by the Federation,
the Cardassians agreed to vacate the Bajoran system and leave the
spacestation in the hands of the Bajorans.  The Federation sent advisory
personnel to the station to help maintain the station's facilities and to
aid the Bajorans in piecing their world together and uniting various
factions on the planet.
   On board the station representing the Federation interests are Commander
Benjamin Sisko (and his son Jake), Doctor Julian Bashir, Lieutenant Jadzia
Dax, and Operations Chief Miles O'Brien.  Commander Sisko, as seen in the
two-hour pilot episode, lost his wife in the battle against the Borg as
depicted in The Next Generation episode BEST OF BOTH WORLDS, PART II and
holds some small amount of enmity for Captain Picard whom he believes
caused the death of his wife.
   Chief O'Brien was promoted from his occasional role on The Next
Generation to a new and expanded role as Operations Chief in this series.
O'Brien's wife, Keiko, makes occasional appearances as she did on The Next
Generation.
   Lieutenant Jadzia Dax is a unique representative of the Federation - a
member of the Trill race, first seen in The Next Generation episode, THE
HOST (see star-trek-tng.guide for more details).  Although outwardly
she appears to be a human female, inside she has a long-lived parasitic
creature with whom she shares a symbiotic relationship.  She and Commander
Sisko knew each other from the past - but at that time, Dax was a male.
The relationsip between her and Sisko grows and changes and her
relationships with others on the station should prove interesting as the
series progresses.
   Representing the Bajorans on the station is Major Kira, an ex-member of
a rebel group of Bajorans who practiced terrorist acts on the Cardassians.
She has now apparently given up her former ways, and is working for the
leading political faction of Bajor as a liaison to the Federation.  
   Also aboard the station is Security Chief Odo, a member of an unknown
race with the ability to transform his shape into anything he chooses.
While his history is still much unknown, we do know he was the Security
Chief on the station when the Cardassians were in control and was asked to
remain on when the Bajorans and the Federation took over the station.
   The station is not primarily a military outpost (although it may have
been under the Cardassians even though it was said to be a mining station)
but rather it is intended to be a recreational post or way station for
travelers.  The promenade area of the station is occupied by various shops
and other services for rest and relaxation.  Running the local bar and
gambling casino is Quark, a Ferengi.  We know his motives are purely
profitary in nature, but will he be an ally of the Federation or hinder
their efforts to effect a peace on Bajor?  Odo and Quark do not get along
(although they seem to be friendly enemies) and it remains to be seen just
how their relationship grows and changes.
   This episode guide contains the list of all of the episodes to date in

go to the Gamma quadrant to try and find the Founders of the Dominion and
to convince them that StarFleet is not a threat to them.

The entire command crew (yeah, right!) goes on the mission as does Quark
and Odo.  Quark is along in the hopes that his business contacts in the
Gamma quadrant can lead them to the Founders.  One of the merchants he does
business with points them toward a relay station.  Dax and O'Brien however,
are captured there but not before getting Sisko information on a possible
location for the Founders from the relay station's computers.

even aired when it was announced that Nana Visitor had become pregnant
(with Siddig's child) and, in this episode, the creative team set things up
to explain her pregnancy by having her "take" Keiko's child into her own
womb after an accident injures Keiko.  Also in this episode, Quark believes

TRIALS AND TRIBBLE-ATIONS
Producers: Robert Hewitt Wolfe, Steven Oster, Rene Echevarria
Teleplay: Ronald D. Moore, Rene Echevarria
Story: Ira Steven Behr, Hans Beimler, Robert Hewitt Wolfe
Cast: Jack Blessing (Temporal Investigator), Jams W. Jansen (Temporal
Investigator), Charlie Brill (Arne Darvin), Leslie Ackerman (Waitress),
Charles S. Chun (Engineer), Deirdre L. Imershein (Lieutenant Watley) and
the cast of the original Star Trek episode "THE TROUBLE WITH TRIBBLES"

In one of the most talked about episodes in the show's history, the crew of
DS9 pick up a Bajoran orb known as the Orb of Time along with Arne Darvin
(under an alias) from Cardassia.  Darvin uses the orb to catapult them back
in time to the time of the original series episode THE TROUBLE WITH
TRIBBLES in order to enact revenge on Captain Kirk.  The crew of DS9 have
to stop Darvin from killing Kirk and changing history.

By use of computers, and carefully filmed scenes, the crew of DS9 appeared
to be in the same scenes as the original series.  Although, if you watch
closely, you can see where the scenes have been patched or augmented, and
the sound differences between the voices of the old cast and the new cast,
is a dead giveaway.  Also, the scene late in the show of Spock and Kirk
"meeting" Sisko is taken from a completely different episode from the old
series and not from THE TROUBLE WITH TRIBBLES.  Regardless, the episode was
well done, and a splendid 30th anniversary homage to the original cast and
crew of STAR TREK.

Garak and Worf go to the Gamma quadrant to investigate and find themselves
in a Jem'Hadar internment camp along with General Martok (who had been
replaced by a changeling) and a friend who no one suspected had been
captured.  Meanwhile, back on DS9, Captain Sisko learns of a fleet of
Dominion ships ready to enter the Alpha quadrant through the wormhole and
plans to close the wormhole rather than let the Dominion enter and attack
the quadrant.  But, Sisko's plans are thwarted by an unsuspected traitor in
their midst.

In this second part of the story, Garak, Worf, Martok and their captured
friend plot to escape and return to DS9.  Meanwhile, it is discovered that
the fleet of ships which entered the quadrant through the wormhole was not
an invasion force, but a fleet of ships sent to Cardassia to cement the new
treaty between the Cardassians and the Dominion.  Gul Dukat vows that
Cardassia will regain all that they have lost, including DS9, and will
destroy all the Klingons and Maquis left in their territory. Gowron comes
to DS9 for medical aide and Sisko convinces him that if the Federation and
the Klingons re-established the treaty from the Khitomer Accords (which had
been broken some time back) then they could stand together against the
Cardassians and the Dominion.

As Sisko and a Federation task force prepare for an attack by the
Cardassians and the Dominion, they continue to hunt for their saboteur.  As
the Federation and Klingon forces line up ready for the attack, they gain
unexpected support from Romulan ships.  But, all of them, including the
station, and Bajor itself would be destroyed if the saboteur manages to
explode a runabout filled with explosive material inside the Bajoran sun
and trigger a supernova.

When the danger is thwarted, Sisko discovers that the entire invasion was a
ploy designed to cause the destruction of the entire Federation and Klingon
fleet without firing a shot.  Also, as part of a new treaty with the
Klingons, General Martok becomes the new head of a Klingon military force
stationed at DS9.

Dr. Zimmerman comes to DS9 to create a new version of the EMS (as seen on
DS9's sister show Voyager) which would be more of a permanently running
program than the EMS and therefore needs a more detailed personality.
Dr. Bashir was selected by Starfleet to be the model for the new
personality of the system and so Dr. Zimmerman comes to interview Bashir
and his friends in order to build the new personality.  However, during the
