Deep Space Nine
HISTORY:
--------------------------------------------
Originally built by the Cardassians in 2351 (and called Terok Nor), it was used as a mining station, using Bajoran slave labor. They stripped the planet Bajor of any mining value in their efforts here. In 2369, the Cardassians relinquished control of the station to Starfleet. It was requested by the Bajoran provisional government that Starfleet take the station. DS9 has become the center of commercial, scientific and strategic importance with the discovery of the first stable wormhole to the Gamma Quadrant.
More recently, it had become a major tip on the balance of power when the Dominion fleets emerged from the wormhole to invade the Alpha Quadrant. It was Starfleet's major base of operations in the sector, and was at one point retaken by Cardassian troops.
Months later, a massive battle was won by Starfleet and pushed the Cardassians off the station, and Starfleet settled in again.
