[edit] Introduction (blurb)

From the front cover:

The extraordinary novel, based on the blockbuster pilot episode for the exciting new television series!

From the back cover:

It's been over twenty-five years since the original STAR TREK television series debuted on network television—and today, the universe first seen in that show is more popular than ever. STAR TREK VI: THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY was a huge box-office hit, and STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION is now entering its sixth incredible season as the most popular hour of syndicated entertainment on television.

Now comes DEEP SPACE NINE, a thrilling new addition to the STAR TREK universe. Commanded by an embittered Starfleet officer and populated by a myriad of exotic aliens, the mysterious space station known as Deep Space Nine hovers on the edge of a wormhole, a doorway that leads to the galaxy's furthest reaches—and beyond.

[edit] Summary

[edit] Characters

[edit] Main

• Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks)

Lieutenant Commander (2367), Commander (2369)

During his first year at Starfleet Academy, Sisko failed an unannounced emergency drill because of an attack on nerves.

Sisko attempted to be assigned to Earth, but the closest he came was the Utopia Planitia shipyards on Mars, where he served for three years. A week before his posting to Deep Space Nine, he halfheartedly applied for an astrinonics professorship at Vasteras University.

• Jake Sisko (Cirroc Lofton)

Formal name Jacob identified in Starfleet records.

Helps Nog extinguish a fire in Quark's bar during the Cardassian attack.

• Miles O'Brien (identified as an ensign) (Colm Meaney)
• Major Kira Nerys (Nana Visitor)
• Odo (Rene Auberjonois)

This novel claims Odo was found in the Denorios Asteroid Belt in 2319 and treated by the Bajora "as one of their own" (page 57). However, Dax later informs Sisko of an unknown vessel being found with a shapeshifter inside in the year 2337 (page 136). At the time this novel was written, Odo's origin was stll very much a mystery.

• Doctor Julian Bashir (a specialist in multi-species medicine) (Alexander Siddig)
• Lieutenant Jadzia Dax (Terry Farrell)

Dax mentions to Sisko that Dax met Kai Taluno at a peace conference while serving as a diplomatic apprentice. If this account is accurate, it would likely have been either Tobin or Emony.

• Quark (Armin Shimerman)

[edit] Recurring

• Nog (Aron Eisenberg)

Nog informs Jake that Ferengi males do not live with their mothers as males do not live with females. This seems to contradict information established in "Family Business."

Nog also informs Jake that there are no regularly-scheduled passenger shuttles at the station. This dialogue was written before it was determined that Jake and Nog would first meet in "A Man Alone."

• Rom (Max Grodénchik)
• Morn (Mark Allen Shepherd)
• Kai Opaka Sulan (Camille Saviola)
