Federation outpost Deep Space 9 is in orbit of the planet Bajor. Originally constructed by the Cardassian Empire

Captain Benjamin Sisko

Executive Officer aboard the USS Saratoga before it was destroyed by the Borg.Joined Deep Space 9, at the request of the Bajoran Provisional government.

Originally from New Orleans, the son of a Chef, Benjamin Sisko attended Starfleet Academy in San Francisco. He rose rapidly through the ranks and was a Commander on the USS Saratoga when it was destroyed by the Borg during the attack at Wolf 359 in the TNG episode The Best of Both Worlds. His wife, Jennifer was killed during the attack and he was left to bring up his son, Jake, by himself. For three years after the Borg attack, Sisko was a broken man, never being able to recover from the shattering loss of his wife.

During this time, he worked at the Utopia Planitia shipyards working on various projects including the prototype of the anti-Borg gunship (the USS Defiant). He was reassigned to Deep Space Nine as it's commander when the Cardassians pulled out of their occupation of Bajor. When he negotiated an understanding with some lifeforms who live outside time allowing the use of the Wormhole in Bajoran space, he became an important figure in Bajoran religon, The Emissary.

Major Kira Nerys- First Officer

During the Cardassian occupation, Kira was part of the Bajoran underground movement.Joined Deep Space 9, As the Bajoran liaison between the station and the Bajoran government .

Major Kira Nerys is a former member of the Bajoran underground. She is now an outspoken critic of the provisional government of Bajor. Having fought for freedom all her life against the Cardassians when they invaded Bajor, it has angered her to see the older leaders throw it all away through their petty dissensions. She has been trying without success to reach the Kai (spiritual leader of Bajor) herself to air her grievances.

So it is very possible she was sent by the government to be the Bajoran administrator at the space station simply to get her outspoken voice out of earshot. Kira loathes the Cardassians and she committed atrocities against them in the name of freedom, some of which bother her. But others in the Bajoran underground begin a new wave of terrorism and she is forced into a moral quandary about tracking them down and bringing them to justice. Some of them consider her a turncoat.

Constable Odo. - Chief of Security

Joined Deep Space 9.as Chief Security Officer for the Cardassains. He remained on the station after the withdrawal of the Cardassians. His species originated in the Gamma Quadrant and formed the Dominion.

Odo was discovered floating in the Deanorious Belt near Bajor and taken back to a research institute in occupied Bajor. After many years as a subject of study, he became the head of security on Deep Space Nine when the Cardassians needed an impartial being to investigate a spate of murders. He remained on the station when it came under Federation control, and used the position to allow him to continue to explore his origins. It became apparent that his people came from the Gamma quadrant and through several clues he eventually found his way home, only to discover that his people did not share his belief in justice and freedom for all.

Chief Miles Edward O'Brien - Chief of Operations

Was Transporter officer aboard the USS Enterprise for 6 years then Joined Deep Space 9 with his wife and daughter .

Miles Edward O'Brien was born on Earth in Ireland. He has a unique talent for all things mechanical and so studied advanced engineering at the Academy. He has served on the USS Rutledge with Captain Benjamin Maxwell as tactical officer (we meet Captain Maxwell in the episode The Wounded ). He never forgot the encounter they had on Setlik III with the Cardassians. It left him skaken and gave him a deep hatred for the Cardassians for what they did, and for the fact that he was forced to kill to defend the survivers. After the Setlik III massacre, he was reassigned to the Enterprise under Captain Picard. First, he served as Bridge Conn, then he was promoted to Transporter Chief and he became a transporter specialist.

When Miles was on board the Enterprise, he married a biologist Keiko Ishikawa (in the episode Data's Day ) and they had a daughter, Molly (delivered by Worf in the episode Disaster ). Finally, he was assigned to Deep Space 9 as Chief Operations Officer, where his engineering talents are put to a severe test - can he get an abandoned Cardassian space station working reliably?

Lieutenant Jadzia Dax - Chief Science Officer

Became a crew member shortly after graduating Starfleet Academy.Joined Deep Space 9 Shortly after becoming joined with the Dax symbiant, This is a great honour for a Trill. Her relationship with Sisko goes back to her former host, Kerzon, who was good friends with Sisko.

The biography of Jadzia Dax has to take two parts; that about the symbiot "Dax" who is around 300 years old and has had a number of hosts over the years, and that of the humanoid Trill woman, Jadzia. The symbiot has a colourful history, having been joined to no less than seven other hosts including a murderer. The host before Jadzia was Curzon Dax, a great mentor of Benjamin Sisko in his youth.

Jadzia was an attractive and brilliant young woman who worked very hard to get accepted for the Trill joining programme. She was thrown out of the programme after a poor report from Curzon Dax during the initiate assesment. She was then reaccepted into the programme in an unprecidented move and finally became the host to Dax when Curzon died.

Ensign Ezri Dax

Ezri is the wayward daughter of the owner of a large mining concern who left her family home and business, much to the disgust of her family, to join Starfleet as a counsellor. While on a mission early in her career, she was the only Trill close enough to Deep Space Nine to be joined with the Dax symbiot when Jadzia was killed. As a result she suddenly found herself a joined Trill, despite never having expected or been trained to be so.

Confused and unstable as a result of the joining, she seeks out Benjamin Sisko who the symbiot believes can help her sort things out. This he does and she soon elects to be officially transfered to Deep Space Nine, despite the issues arising out of her previous host having lived there.

Quark

Quark is the Ferengi bartender on DS9. The Ferengi race, has seen in The Next Generation, are ugly, sexist, greedy little aliens who are interested only in profit and getting theirs hands on anything of yours they happen to fancy. Quark runs many of the entertainment concessions on DS9. He has a bar, a restaurant, a gambling house (dabo), and the holosuites upstairs where your every fantasy can be played out. He spends most of his time behind the bar. If there is some scam being run in the sector it often involves him. But beyond that, he is a charming host, in a Ferengi sort of way. He forges interesting relationships with Captain Sisko and Constable Odo. He lends a hand to dissolve problems as long as there's something in it for him. His completely sexist attitude makes Kira an obvious adversary and he is consumed with passion for Dax.

Jake

Jake is Captain Benjamin Sisko's son. He doesn't very much remember life on Earth since he has been aboard four different starships and stationed on two planets during his father's career. This transient life style has taught him how to scope out a new terrain and assimilate quickly. At the same time he has an inner fear of forming new friendships because he loses them so easily. He dreams of going to live on Earth.

He collects holodeck programs of various places on Earth that he uses to try to fulfill his fantasy. Deep inside he knows that his mom would still be alive if his family didn't live in space, and he has a suppressed bitterness about it. When they arrived on DS9, his father promised there would be other kids on the station. As it turns out, there are only a handful of various alien species. Only one is his age, Nog, a Ferengi teenage boy who was considered bad influence for a time by his father. Besides that, he is close with his dad. For a time O'Brien tried to teach Jake about DS9's engineering systems, but now Jake wants to become a writer.
