Summary

The season begins three months into the Dominion War, and things do not go well for the former crew of Deep Space 9.

The crew enters Cardassian space to destroy a ketracel-white installation, Sisko leads a battle to reclaim DS9, O'Brien infiltrates the Orion Syndicate, the Romulans enter the Dominion War, and Jadzia Dax is killed by a pah-wraith-possessed Dukat.

Many episodes in this season focus on moral issues in wartime, especially the hard choice between different calamities such as betrayal of principles, treason, and the deaths of dear or unknown people, e.g.:

"Statistical Probabilities": Saving the people from the Dominion vs. granting the people a greater chance of survival
"Honor Among Thieves": Letting a friend walk into a trap vs. supporting organized crime
"Change of Heart": Probable death of the spouse vs. sure death of a stranger who is important for the mission
"Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night": Collaborating with an occupying force and contributing to the oppression of your people to obtain benefits for one's family vs. using one's position to fight for the greater good at the expense of yourself and your family.
"In the Pale Moonlight": Engaging in criminal activities to win an ally in the war

Background

This season was broadcast concurrent with Star Trek: Voyager Season 4.
Bradley Thompson and David Weddle joined the staff at the beginning of this season as story editors, replacing the departed Robert Hewitt Wolfe, while Hans Beimler replaced Wolfe as Ira Steven Behr's writing partner. Both René Echevarria and Steve Oster were promoted from producers to co-supervising producers, with Oster supervising the day-to-day operation of the set and Echevarria supervising the composition of the scripts.
During part of the production of this season the producers were not sure if DS9 would have a seventh season and were prepared to tie up the series at its conclusion. However, DS9 had always been assured that it would have at least six seasons.
As a result of the Dominion War, the Gamma Quadrant is not visited a single time this season. It is seen for the final time in the series finale "What You Leave Behind".
Although over the course of the first five seasons, the show's handling of Bajoran religion had been a somewhat controversial and not always popular subject, during season six, religion would become more important than ever, with Sisko's relationship with the Prophets brought to the fore, occupying an increasingly important position in the narrative. There had been several episodes which dealt with his role as Emissary of the Prophets (the third season episode "Destiny", the fourth season episode "Accession", and the fifth season episode "Rapture"), but this season, and the next, would attach more and more importance to Sisko's relationship with the Prophets, as established in the show's pilot, "Emissary". As well as this, the Prophets (who we had seen only three times prior to this season; in "Emissary", "Prophet Motive" and "Accession") would become far more important and would begin to get directly involved in corporeal matters.
Characters which 'crossover' from other incarnations of Star Trek: Alexander Rozhenko ("Sons and Daughters").
