StarBase 118 Staff Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 This week, we continue our ongoing series of the most epic moments of Star Trek with the third series, Deep Space Nine.Set for the first time on a stationary platform, the concept of life aboard a space station was a new idea for the franchise. Throw in the fact that the Federation was coming in to a formerly Cardassian-occupied system and were quite a long distance from direct Federation support, there was the potential for a big fat mess landing in Commander (later Captain) Sisko’s lap. Despite a rocky start, which seems to be the pattern for Trek series, Deep Space Nine followed TNG’s example with seven successful seasons and a triumphant send-off. The darkness of the series, new for the franchise that had portrayed up until then a much brighter future, allowed them to plumb the dark depths of the human soul without disturbing the atmosphere of the series.Here are a few of my favorites, thought there are others too many to include here!The post The Epic Moments of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine appeared first on UFOP: StarBase 118 Star Trek RPG.
