Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Broadcast from January 3, 1993 until June 2, 1999, Deep Space Nine was the first Star Trek series created by Rick Berman and Michael Piller, although Gene Roddenberry did give his blessing to the concept shortly before his death in 1991. It was also the first series that was not based on a starship. Running for seven seasons, there are 173 episodes, 3 of which are feature-length.
In the year 2369, after the Bajorans liberate themselves from the Cardassian Occupation, the United Federation of Planets is invited by the Bajoran Provisional Government to administer joint control over the former
Cardassian space station Terok Nor, which is renamed Deep Space 9. The starbase is moved near the Bajoran wormhole, allowing access to the unexplored Gamma Quadrant, and quickly becomes a center for exploration, interstellar trade, political maneuvering, and open conflict. The Starfleet officer placed in charge of Deep Space 9 is Starfleet officer Benjamin
Sisko (Avery Brooks) is placed in charge of Deep Space 9 and brings his young son, Jake (Cirroc Lofton). His second-in-command is the Bajoran liaison officer and militia officer Kira Nerys (Nana Visitor). Others aboard the starbase include Changeling chief of security Constable Odo (René Auberjonois), genetically enhanced chief medical officer Julian Bashir (Alexander Siddig), Trill science officer Jadzia Dax (Terry Farrell; seasons 1-6), Ezri Dax (Nicole de Boer; season 7), Ferengi bar owner Quark (Armin Shimerman). Worf(Michael Dorn) and Keiko O'Brien (Rosalind Chao) of The Next Generation make frequent appearances, and there are many other recurring characters.
While Deep Space Nine incorporates other works of Shakespeare, such as The Tempest, Julius Caesar, Twelfth Night, Macbeth, The Merchant of Venice, Henvy V, and Henry IV, Part II, it does not make any allusions to Hamlet.
