Star Trek: Deep Space Nine sits within the Star Trek franchise, premiering in 1993 and concluding in 1999. It takes place after the events of Star Trek: The Next Generation, within the first two years of the Galactic Dominion War, though the show focuses on the daily operations of a space station called Deep Space Nine.
Deep Space Nine is located near the planet Bajor, which is recovering from years of brutal occupation by the Cardassian Union. Bajorans look to the Federation for help and support, and the Federation sets up a space station to aid the planet, which is still trying to find its feet.
Captain Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks), is assigned to command the station, in a role where he is tasked with diplomat duties and relationships with Bajor and the surrounding regions. The arrival of Captain Sisko is significant because he is the first-ever African-American captain in the Star Trek universe.
