Captain
Quark continues his search for Morn and Kira Nerys emerges from a wormhole after being caught inside it when it collapsed two years earlier. She arrives on the new DS9 to discover Altek Dans already there. While inside the Celestial Temple, Kira lived a different life in Bajor’s past, where she fell in love with Altek.
Captain Ro Laren is drawn into the affairs of the People of the Open Sky, who have come to the station in search of sanctuary. As tensions rise on the station, the science vessel Athene Donald arrives as part of its journey of exploration. The brainchild of Doctor Pulaski, the ship is crewed by different species from the Khitomer Accords and the Typhon Pact.
Miles O’Brien and Nog have led the Starfleet Corps of Engineers in designing and constructing a larger, more advanced starbase in the Bajoran system. As Captain Ro Laren’s crew prepares to open DS9 to the entire Bajor Sector and beyond, disaster looms. And what of Kira Nerys, lost aboard a runabout when the Bajoran wormhole collapsed?
While President Bacco and Romulan Praetor Kamemor work feverishly to reestablish peace, Captains Sisko, Jean-Luc Picard, and Ro Laren stand on the front lines of the conflict, even as a new danger threatens the Bajoran wormhole.
