A Cardassian vessel leaving Deep Space Nine explodes immediately after detaching from the station. Within hours, Starfleet admirals are breathing down Commander Sisko's neck for answers. Messages to Cardassia go unanswered and there is a fear that the Cardassian-Federation Treaty may be in jeopardy. A while later, Gul Dukat drops in unannounced in Sisko's quarters to discuss the incident.

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.
