The adventures near a wormhole on the edge of the final frontier.
(setting -- the 24th century)
In the third STAR TREK television series, first made for U.S. syndication in 1992 and still in production today, the action moved from a starship to a space station. The series has just completed its fourth season and continues the tradition of state-of-the-art effects and a top rated cast and crew.
Deep Space Nine is commanded by Captain Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks), alongside Science Officer Jadzia Dax (Terry Farrell), Medical Officer Dr. Julian Bashir (Alexander Siddig), Security Officer Odo (Rene Auberjonois), Chief Operations Officer Miles O'Brien -- formerly of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D -- (Colm Meaney), Bajoran First Officer Kira Nerys (Nana Visitor), and the Ferengi bartender Quark (Armin Shimerman).
Also along for the ride is the Captain's son, aspiring writer Jake Sisko (Cirroc Lofton). In the fourth season the crew was joined by a Star Trek: The Next Generation veteran, the Klingon Lieutenant Commander Worf (Michael Dorn).
