������'Star Trek Deep Space Nine' continues the 'Star Trek' tradition with a new twist. DS9 is a space station orbiting the planet Bajor which has recently fought it's way to freedom. The station's strategic location to a stable wormhole makes it a political hotbed, and Bajor is hardly in the position to defend itself. The Federation signed an agreement to run the station for the Bajoran people until such time as they are able to run it themselves. The Bajoran government has placed Major Kira on the station as a liason with Captain Sisko and the Federation.
������Crossfire brings back Duncan Regehr as First Minister Shakaar. The First Minister is visiting the station, causing both a security nightmare and heartache for Security Chief Odo. First Minister Shakaar is more interested in his growing romance with Major Kira than the death threats against him from a radical element. It isn't until an elevator accident that the seriousness of the threats is realized.
