Summary
The Provisional Government of Bajor invites Starfleet to help them rebuild after the Cardassian Occupation. Commander Benjamin Sisko is selected to take command of their space station, formerly known as Terok Nor that is then designated by Starfleet as Deep Space 9. As part of the agreement between the Federation and Bajor, Starfleet will help them to become a member of the Federation.
The Federation involvement in the Bajor sector changes galactic history forever, as Starfleet discovers the Bajoran wormhole, the only stable wormhole known to exist, that leads to the largely unexplored Gamma Quadrant of the Galaxy.
The other crew of Deep Space 9 include Kira Nerys, functioning as the Bajoran liaison officer, Odo as the security chief of the station, Julian Bashir as chief medical officer, Miles O’Brien as the station’s chief of operations, and Jadzia Dax, a joined Trill as the station’s science officer.
Residents of the station include Quark, a Ferengi barkeeper, his brother Rom and Rom’s son, Nog. Benjamin Sisko’s son Jake and Miles’ wife Keiko O’Brien and daughter Molly O’Brien also live aboard the station. The most enigmatic station resident is the station’s tailor, Elim Garak, who has a mysterious past.
In their first year together, the crew are infected with an aphasia virus, visited by aliens who make the wishes and fantasies or fears of all station residents come true, meet a hunted species of aliens, known as Tosk and have an encounter with the omnipotent Q. Quark briefly becomes Grand Nagus, Lwaxana Troi visits the station, a Cardassian called Aamin Marritza tries to get his people to admit to the crimes they committed on Bajor, and the disappearance of Kai Opaka thrusts Bareil Antos and Winn Adami into the spotlight.
Background information
- This season was broadcast concurrent with Star Trek: Voyager Season 4.
- Bradley Thompson and David Weddle joined the staff at the beginning of this season as story editors, replacing the departed Robert Hewitt Wolfe, while Hans Beimler replaced Wolfe as Ira Steven Behr’s writing partner. Both René Echevarria and Steve Oster were promoted from producers to co-supervising producers, with Oster supervising the day-to-day operation of the set and Echevarria supervising the composition of the scripts.
- During part of the production of this season the producers were not sure if DS9 would have a seventh season and were prepared to tie up the series at its conclusion. However, DS9 had always been assured that it would have at least six seasons.
- As a result of the Dominion War, the Gamma Quadrant is not visited a single time this season. It is seen for the final time in the series finale «What You Leave Behind».
- Although over the course of the first five seasons, the show’s handling of Bajoran religion had been a somewhat controversial and not always popular subject, during season six, religion would become more important than ever, with Sisko’s relationship with the Prophets brought to the fore, occupying an increasingly important position in the narrative. There had been several episodes which dealt with his role as Emissary of the Prophets (the third season episode «Destiny», the fourth season episode «Accession», and the fifth season episode «Rapture»), but this season, and the next, would attach more and more importance to Sisko’s relationship with the Prophets, as established in the show’s pilot, «Emissary». As well as this, the Prophets (who we had seen only three times prior to this season; in «Emissary», «Prophet Motive» and «Accession») would become far more important and would begin to get directly involved in corporeal matters.
- Characters which ‘crossover’ from other incarnations of Star Trek: Alexander Rozhenko («Sons and Daughters»).

Summary
Benjamin Sisko discovers his mother was a Prophet, a new Dax host arrives on Deep Space 9, Odo discovers that his people have been infected with a fatal disease and Julian Bashir undertakes an assignment for Section 31. Kai Winn turns on the Prophets, and with the assistance of Dukat summons the pah-wraiths. The Breen join the war and side with the Dominion. In the concluding episodes of the season (and the series), the Cardassian-Dominion alliance breaks down, Colonel Kira leads a Cardassian resistance movement involving Legate Damar and Elim Garak, and the alliance of Federation, Klingon, and Romulan forces claim victory in the Dominion War.
Background information
- This season was broadcast concurrent with Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 7.
- Characters which ‘cross over’ from other incarnations of Star Trek include, from TOS: Kor, Kang and Koloth («Blood Oath»), and from TNG: Admiral Alynna Nechayev («The Maquis, Part II»).
- All references (of which there were three) to the Dominion prior to the episode «The Jem’Hadar» were specifically designed to create a sense of layering and to convey the idea that the Dominion were involved in many different activities: in «Rules of Acquisition», it is revealed that they are involved in trade and commerce; in «Sanctuary», it is revealed that they have a military division; and in «Shadowplay», it is revealed that they are imperialists who think nothing of invading and conquering an entire planet.
- Michael Piller was extremely proud of this season; «When we really started doing stories about our space station, and really made it unique to itself, that’s when the series, I think, really became special. I think, if you look at the second season of Deep Space Nine, and I think that I would, personally, put that on a par with any single season in the history of Star Trek.» (New Frontiers: The Story of Deep Space Nine, DS9 Season 2 DVD, Special Features)
- Robert Hewitt Wolfe also agreed that the show really found its footing during the second season; «By the second season we knew how to do the right things, I think with more consistency, and we started to nail them more often. And we also started to develop the Dominion arc and to really understand more about the Prophets and Bajor and understand the relationship with the characters. So it just became a stronger show.» (New Frontiers: The Story of Deep Space Nine, DS9 Season 2 DVD, Special Features)
- This is the only season of Deep Space Nine in which the Prophets do not appear on screen.
- The first three installments of this season form a linked story arc. «The first three-parter was a commitment to say, ‘Hey, look at us. Look at what we can do,’» recalled Michael Piller. «It was, in a sense, supposed to do for us what ‘Best of Both Worlds’ had done for Next Generation.» (Captains’ Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages, p. 338) Recollected Ira Steven Behr, «Michael Piller called me up and said, ‘We’re going to open season two with a three-part episode.’ Something that had never been done in the franchise history. That’s the moment where I started to think, ‘Okay, Deep Space Nine gives us opportunities that the other shows do not have or did not have, and that’s exciting.’» (What We Left Behind) Piller continued, «I think that we succeeded. Those three shows really did show the breadth of ambition of storytelling that we were able to do and the special effects were terrific, the guest stars were great, and the credibility was there.» (Captains’ Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages, p. 338) Colm Meaney observed that this triumvirate of episodes continued an exploration of the «very interesting» subject of religious fundamentalism which had begun in the second season finale «In the Hands of the Prophets». («Colm Meaney – Miles O’Brien», The Official Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Magazine issue 5, p. 10)
Размеры и дизайн
Новинка построена на переднеприводной платформе EMP2 и по формату кузова во многом повторяет растянутую четырехдверку Peugeot 508L, реализуемую исключительно в Китае. Однако сходство между моделями наблюдается только в профиле и конфигурации бокового остекления, тогда как внешний облик в целом принципиально отличается. Новый DS 9 снаружи оформлен в одной стилистике с родственным кроссовером DS 7 Crossback. Автомобиль выделяется крупными светодиодными блоками фар, оригинальной решеткой радиатора DS Wings, тонкими вертикальными лентами ходовых огней и, конечно, замысловатыми росчерками хромированных линий.
Фото DS 9 2020-2021
Сзади кроме узких затемненных фар со сложной графикой и массивного бампера внимание привлекают дополнительные секции огней на стойках крыши. Они отсылают к легендарной модели бизнес-класса Citroen DS, выпускавшейся в 50-х – 70-х годах прошлого века
Среди прочих особенностей «девятки» отмечаем скрытое исполнение дверных ручей и контрастный окрас крыши.
По габаритам новый седан DS близок к Lexus ES или Volvo S90. Длина кузова автомобиля составляет 4933 мм, ширина – 1855 мм, высота – 1468 мм. Колесная база равна 2895 мм.

Цены: машины дорожали весь год
Новые автомобили в России после кризиса 2014 г. к ноябрю 2018 г. подорожали в среднем на 66%, посчитали в
«Автостате». За 11 месяцев 2018 г. автомобили в среднем стали дороже на 12%. Эксперты агентства пришли к
выводу, что автокомпании сейчас практически отыграли падение рубля по отношению к мировым валютам. Но
оговариваются, что это вовсе не означает заморозку цен.
Дальнейшему подорожанию автомобилей будет способствовать инфляция и увеличение ставки НДС с начала 2019
года — с 18% до 20%. Представители автокомпаний в беседах с корреспондентом Autonews.ru также не
скрывают, что рост НДС напрямую отразится и на стоимости машин, причем с самого начала 2019 г. — это, к
примеру, подтвердили в Renault, АвтоВАЗе и Kia.
Background information
Reception
- Production staff have admitted that the first season of DS9 was somewhat lacking in direction. According to co-creator and executive producer Michael Piller, «When you look at the first season of Deep Space Nine, essentially what I think you see is our intention to do stories that bring in fans of The Next Generation. If you create a space station that is at the crossroads of the universe, then you basically have the justification for bringing in old friends from past episodes. Their ships would normally come through this crossroads, and we felt that was a good way to bring viewers to the show. I think by the second season, we were looking more at standing on our own two feet, and we hadn’t been entirely satisfied. When we really started doing stories about our space station, and really made it unique to itself, that’s when the series, I think, really became special.» (New Frontiers: The Story of Deep Space Nine, DS9 Season 2 DVD, Special Features) Ira Steven Behr commented, «There are things I find weak about some of these shows that have nothing to do with the writing. Many of the shows at the beginning of the season lacked pacing.» (Captains’ Logs Supplemental — The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages, p. 42)
- Piller also explained, however, that the first season was something of a training exercise for the writers; «I think that when you have a wonderful group of actors, you learn how to write for them in the first season. Every show has a shake-down period during the first season, and Deep Space Nine was no different. But I can tell you that we learned so many things as we got to know our actors.» (New Frontiers: The Story of Deep Space Nine, DS9 Season 2 DVD, Special Features)
- Rick Berman was pleased with the season, particularly compared to the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Berman commented, «I’m very pleased with the way the first season has gone in a lot of respects. First seasons of television shows tend to be potentially very chaotic. The first season of Next Generation certainly was. This season has been very peaceful in terms of the actors, the crew, the writers and the budgets. As far as the episodes, there are things about them that I love and things about them I don’t love. That’s the way it is, if we were completely satisfied with what we did, we wouldn’t be doing what we do. We’re always looking to make things better. What I’m most pleased with is the fact that the concept is working and we’ve managed to create 20 stories that I think all hang pretty well on the armature that we’ve built, the backstory and the characters.» (The Deep Space Log Book: A First Season Companion, p. 7)
Trivia
- This season was broadcast concurrent with Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 6.
- Gene Roddenberry was well aware of the concept of DS9 before his death so this was the last Star Trek series with which he was connected.
- Characters who ‘crossover’ from TNG include Miles O’Brien (as a main character), Jean-Luc Picard (also as Locutus) in «Emissary», Lursa and B’Etor in «Past Prologue», Keiko O’Brien & Molly O’Brien as recurring characters from «A Man Alone», Q and Vash in «Q-Less», and Lwaxana Troi in «The Forsaken».
- Many important recurring characters make their first appearances in this season, including Gul Dukat («Emissary»), Nog («Emissary»), Rom («Emissary», first named in «A Man Alone»), Morn («Emissary», first named in «Vortex»), Elim Garak («Past Prologue»), Zek («The Nagus»), Maihar’du («The Nagus»), Winn Adami («In the Hands of the Prophets») and Bareil Antos («In the Hands of the Prophets»).

Background information
- Most of this season was broadcast concurrent with Star Trek: Voyager Season 1, the first episode of which aired the same day as «Past Tense, Part II». Star Trek Generations was also released during its run, three days prior to the airing of the episode «Defiant».
- Michael Piller leaves the show to focus on creating Star Trek: Voyager, although he remains a creative consultant. Ira Steven Behr becomes the series’ new Executive Producer, and effectively becomes showrunner for the remainder of the series.
- At the end of season 2, the producers were alerted to the fact that feedback from the fans was not especially encouraging. In particular, young male viewers felt that DS9 didn’t match up to TNG in terms of action and excitement. As well as this, many fans felt that there wasn’t enough interaction with alien species and there wasn’t enough traveling. Quark and Odo were the most popular characters, while Sisko was well-liked but seen as a very low-key character without much presence. Generally, episodes which dealt with religion and politics, such as «In the Hands of the Prophets» from the first season and «The Collaborator» from the second were unpopular. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion (p. ?))
- At the end of season 2, director of photography Marvin Rush left DS9 to begin work on VOY and was replaced by Jonathan West. West didn’t bring a new lighting technique or visual style to the show, so most fans don’t notice any major difference between Rush’s cinematography and West’s, but one thing that West did change was the type of camera lenses used. Throughout season 1 and season 2, Rush had used wide lenses which tend to separate foreground subjects from background objects by having the foreground in focus and the background out of focus and indistinct. From the start of season 3 however, West began to use telephoto lenses, which flatten the field of view between foreground and background, and as such, when characters are talking in the foreground, the station in the background is clearer to the viewer than ever seen up to this point. The producers were especially happy with this decision as they felt that it was during season 3 where characters like Sisko, Jake, and Keiko began to think of the station as their home for the first time, so it made sense that the station was now becoming more visible to the viewer. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion (p. ?))
- Characters which «cross over» from other incarnations of Star Trek include Gowron («The House of Quark»), Thomas Riker and Kalita («Defiant»), and Lwaxana Troi («Fascination») from TNG and Tuvok’s mirror universe counterpart (DS9: «Through the Looking Glass») from VOY.

Технические характеристики
Новинка построена на фирменной разработке концерна PSA – платформе EMP.
Самым интересным нюансом тележки является адаптивная подвеска, которая с помощью более чем 20 датчиков самостоятельно реагирует на дорожные и динамические условия, подбирая оптимальную жесткость на каждом отдельном колесе, чтобы пассажиры чувствовали себя максимально комфортно.
Среди прочего для EMP характерно поперечное расположение двигателя, возможность внедрения гибридной установки, чем DS Automobiles однозначно воспользовались, дисковые тормоза по кругу и целый список электронных помощников, среди которых:
- адаптивный круиз;
- удержание на одной полосе;
- парктроник;
- камера ночного видения сзади;
- мониторинг усталости водителя;
- бесключевой доступ;
- возможность управления бортовыми функциями через смартфон;
- ABS, ESP, EBD и пр.
Касательно подкапотного пространства, тут будет безальтернативная 1.6-литровая турбочетверка на 225 л.с. (по некоторым данным на 200 л.с.). Это что касается базы, а вот премиальная комплектация порадует гибридной установкой.
Последняя будет предлагаться в 2 вариантах – с одним и с двумя электричками. Так, максимальный комплект даст бизнес-седану полноценный полный привод.
Финальная мощность обоих версий составит 250 и 360 л.с. соответственно. По трансмиссии, на борту 8-диапазонный автомат.
Остается только упомянуть, что на борту также нашлось место:
- 3-х зонной климатической установке, премиальной аудиосистеме,
- виртуальной приборной панели на 12 дюймов,
- аналогичной величины мультимедийному тачскрину,
- панорамному люку на крыше,
- электрической регулировке переднего ряда сидений,
- светодиодной подсветке салона, вентиляции,
- обогреву и массажу всех посадочный мест.
Armament
Terok Nor was originally an ore processing facility, thus its armament was relatively mundane, though sufficient to presumably repel boarders or oncoming starships. Following Federation acquisition of the station the defense systems were modestly upgraded or brought up to Starfleet specifications. Following Starfleet’s first contact with the Dominion; fear of invasion secured their interest into a massive overhaul of the entire station’s defenses. The DS9 crew spent the better part of a year upgrading the stations weaponry. By the time the Klingons attempted to invade the station, the station’s weaponry was sufficient to hold off a Klingon battle fleet. And would later hold off the Dominion.
The station was armed with phasers and photon torpedo launchers. After its 2372 refit, the station was armed with five thousand photon torpedoes. (DS9: «The Way of the Warrior»)
Технические характеристики DS 9 2021 года
Начальная версия модели получила классический ДВС, роль которого играет четырехцилиндровый турбомотор 1.6 PureTech с отдачей 225 л.с. и 300 Нм. Двигатель сочетается только с 8-ступенчатым «автоматом», направляющим тягу на переднюю ось. Все остальные модификации DS 9 являются подзаряжаемыми гибридами на базе той же «четверки» PureTech.
В «младшей» вариации E-Tense (именно такую приставку получают батарейные разновидности седана) бензиновый двигатель совмещается с электромотором мощностью 100 л.с. (320 Нм), который интегрирован в автоматическую коробку. Совокупная отдача такой установки достигает 225 л.с., при этом тяговая батарея емкостью 11.9 кВт*ч обеспечивает пробег в электрическом режиме порядка 40-50 км.
Позднее гамма версий E-Tense расширится за счет исполнений на 250 и 360 л.с. Последний вариант будет полноприводным, так как здесь один из электромоторов установят на задней оси. Не задействуя ДВС, все гибриды DS 9 смогут разгоняться максимально до 135 км/ч.
Ну и в завершение скажем пару слов о подвеске нового седана. Она позаимствована у Кроссбэка, что означает наличие электронноуправляемых амортизаторов, меняющих свою жесткость в зависимости от типа дорожного покрытия. Алгоритм обработки неровностей выбирается на основании показаний камер и датчиков, непрерывно сканирующих поверхность перед машиной.
