* [[Production staff]] have admitted that the first season of DS9 was somewhat lacking in direction. According to co-creator and executive producer [[Michael Piller]], "''When you look at the first season of ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|Deep Space Nine]]'', essentially what I think you see is our intention to do stories that bring in fans of ''The Next Generation''. If you create a [[space station]] that is at the crossroads of the [[universe]], then you basically have the justification for bringing in old friends from past episodes. Their ships would normally come through this crossroads, and we felt that was a good way to bring viewers to the show. I think by the [[DS9 Season 2|second season]], we were looking more at standing on our own two feet, and we hadn't been entirely satisfied. When we really started doing stories about our [[Deep Space 9|space station]], and really made it unique to itself, that's when the series, I think, ''really'' became special''." (''New Frontiers: The Story of Deep Space Nine'', [[DS9 Season 2 DVD]], Special Features)

* Piller also explains however, that the first season was something of a training exercise for the writers; "''I think that when you have a wonderful group of actors, you learn how to write for them in the first season. Every show has a shake-down period during the first season, and ''Deep Space Nine'' was no different. But I can tell you that we learned so many things as we got to know our actors''."

*Rick Berman was pleased with the season, particularly compared to the [[TNG Season 1|first season]] of ''Star Trek: The Next Generation''. Berman commented: "''I'm very pleased with the way the first season has gone in a lot of respects. First seasons of television shows tend to be potentially very chaotic. The first season of ''Next Generation'' certainly was. This season has been very peaceful in terms of the actors, the crew, the writers and the budgets. As far as the episodes, there are things about them that I love and things about them I don't love. That's the way it is, if we were completely satisfied with what we did, we wouldn't be doing what we do. We're always looking to make things better. What I'm most pleased with is the fact that the concept is working and we've managed to create 20 stories that I think all hang pretty well on the armature that we' built, the backstory and the characters''".

Summary

The Provisional Government of Bajor invites Starfleet to help them rebuild after the Cardassian Occupation. Commander Benjamin Sisko is selected to take command of their space station, formerly known as Terok Nor that is then designated by Starfleet as Deep Space 9. As part of the agreement between the Federation and Bajor, Starfleet will help them to become a member of the Federation.

The Federation involvement in the Bajor sector changes galactic history forever, as Starfleet discovers the Bajoran wormhole, the only stable wormhole known to exist, that leads to the largely unexplored Gamma Quadrant of the Galaxy.

The other crew of Deep Space 9 include Kira Nerys, functioning as the Bajoran liaison officer, Odo as the security chief of the station, Julian Bashir as chief medical officer, Miles O'Brien as the station's chief of operations, and Jadzia Dax, a joined Trill as the station's science officer.

Residents of the station include Quark, a Ferengi barkeeper, his brother Rom and Rom's son, Nog. Benjamin Sisko's son Jake also lives aboard the station. The most enigmatic station resident is the station's tailor, Elim Garak, who has a mysterious past.

In their first year together, the crew are infected with an aphasia virus, meet a hunted species of aliens, known as Tosk and have an encounter with the omnipotent Q. Quark briefly becomes Grand Nagus, Lwaxana Troi visits the station, a Cardassian called Aamin Marritza tries to get his people to admit to the crimes they committed on Bajor, and the disappearance of Kai Opaka thrusts Bareil Antos and Winn Adami into the spotlight.

Background information

  • This season was broadcast concurrent with Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 6.
  • Gene Roddenberry was well aware of the concept of DS9 before his death. So this was the last Star Trek series with which he was connected. [1]
  • Characters who 'crossover' from TNG include Miles O'Brien (as a main character), Jean-Luc Picard (also as Locutus) in "Emissary", Lursa and B'Etor in "Past Prologue", Keiko O'Brien & Molly O'Brien as recurring characters from "A Man Alone", Q and Vash in "Q-Less", and Lwaxana Troi in "The Forsaken".
  • Many important recurring characters make their first appearances in this season, including Gul Dukat ("Emissary"), Nog ("Emissary"), Rom ("Emissary", first named in "A Man Alone"), Morn ("Emissary", first named in "Vortex"), Elim Garak ("Past Prologue"), Zek ("The Nagus"), Maihar'du ("The Nagus"), Winn Adami ("In the Hands of the Prophets") and Bareil Antos ("In the Hands of the Prophets").
  • Production staff have admitted that the first season of DS9 was somewhat lacking in direction. According to co-creator and executive producer Michael Piller, "When you look at the first season of Deep Space Nine, essentially what I think you see is our intention to do stories that bring in fans of The Next Generation. If you create a space station that is at the crossroads of the universe, then you basically have the justification for bringing in old friends from past episodes. Their ships would normally come through this crossroads, and we felt that was a good way to bring viewers to the show. I think by the second season, we were looking more at standing on our own two feet, and we hadn't been entirely satisfied. When we really started doing stories about our space station, and really made it unique to itself, that's when the series, I think, really became special." (New Frontiers: The Story of Deep Space Nine, DS9 Season 2 DVD, Special Features)
  • Piller also explains however, that the first season was something of a training exercise for the writers; "I think that when you have a wonderful group of actors, you learn how to write for them in the first season. Every show has a shake-down period during the first season, and Deep Space Nine was no different. But I can tell you that we learned so many things as we got to know our actors." (New Frontiers: The Story of Deep Space Nine, DS9 Season 2 DVD, Special Features)
  • Rick Berman was pleased with the season, particularly compared to the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Berman commented: "I'm very pleased with the way the first season has gone in a lot of respects. First seasons of television shows tend to be potentially very chaotic.
