������'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.
������Duncan Regehr returns again as First Minister Shakaar. Because of a shuttle accident, Major Kira had offered to carry Miles and Kiko O'Brien's baby to term. As the time came for the baby to be born, Major Kira wanted First Minister Shakaar to be there as well as the parents. Shakaar, however, became increasingly jealous of the relationship between Chief O'Brien and Major Kira. The resulting strife between the two men was disrupting the birth, and they were summarily sent away. Eventually, they mended their differences and the birth proceeded.
