Background Information

Jennifer Sisko was played by Felecia M. Bell.

In Voyages of Imagination, Robert Simpson notes that he and Marco Palmieri pitched a story to the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine writers that featured the return of Jennifer Sisko. Their idea was to have it revealed Jennifer was taken from the Saratoga by the Borg and assimilated. Benjamin Sisko would then encounter her. The pitch never sold, although Simpson later used the idea in the Mission Gamma novel "Lesser Evil".
