A spinoff of "Star Trek: The Next Generation," "Deep Space Nine" is set on a space station near the planet Bajor. This time, Commander Benjamin Sisko is in charge of a diverse crew. But unlike other "Star Trek" series, there's no USS Enterprise to help them. Sisko and the crew must fight off rival alien species who want control of Deep Space Nine because of its strategic position close to a wormhole, which allows speedy travel to the far reaches of space.
Mounting evidence points to Constable Odo as the murderer of a Bajoran criminal who is under investigation; Keiko tries to establish a school.
A virus that causes its victims to speak in gibberish breaks out on DS9, and Sisko assigns Kira the job of finding an antidote.
Cultures clash when a group of hunters follows its prey through the wormhole to the space station where he is trying to repair his ship.
Bothersome Q and archaeologist Vash disrupt the routine of DS9; Quark smells profit in Vash's artifacts from the Gamma quadrant.
