Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (TV Series 1993–1999. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (sometimes abbreviated to ST: DS9 or DS9) is a science fiction television series set in the Star Trek universe. The show is set in the Milky Way galaxy, in the years 2369 – 2375. Unlike the other Star Trek TV shows, it takes place on a space station instead of a starship, so as not to have two series with starships at the same time (the starship USS Defiant was introduced in season 3, but the station remained the primary setting for the show).
This made continuing story arcs and the appearance of recurring characters much more feasible. The show is noted for its well-developed characters, its original, complex plots, religious themes and for starring the only African American captain of all the Star Trek series to be featured as the show's protagonist. The series concentrated on darker themes, less physical exploration of space, and (in later seasons) an emphasis on many aspects of war.
