Stardate 46379.1: Just over two years ago, the Borg took Captain Jean-Luc Picard from the U.S.S. Enterprise and made him one of their own. Unable to stop what was to come, Picard watched helplessly as 39 ships and almost 11,000 lives were lost at the Battle of Wolf 359. One of the destroyed ships, the U.S.S. Saratoga, carried Lieutenant-Commander Benjamin Sisko. Over two years later, with the commencement of peace talks between the Cardassians and the Federation, the Cardassians have ended their occupation of the planet Bajor, leaving behind a space station. The Federation, acting as administrators until the Bajorans are able to govern themselves, sets up command at the station, dubbed Deep Space Nine, with Commander Benjamin Sisko put in charge of the station's operations.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Show Summary

When the Cardassian occupation of Bajor ended in 2369, the mining space station Terok Nor was left abandoned, its systems ripped out. By invitation of the Bajoran provisional government, Starfleet stepped in to oversee the rebuilding and day-to-day operations of the newly christened Deep Space Nine.

The years of Starfleet's nonintervention into Cardassian matters, however, had taken its toll on relations with the Bajorans. Consequently, Starfleet's position was a tenuous one; many Bajorans, suspicious and hostile as a result of decades of Cardassian oppression and brutality, did not greet the Federation's presence with open arms. The Federation's assistance is put to the test as DS9 becomes a center of travel and commerce that stretches into the Gamma Quadrant.
