After the death of his wife, Jennifer Sisko, at Wolf 359, Commander Benjamin Sisko is transfered to the Deep Space Nine Space Station where he is to watch over the citizens of Bajor, keep them safe and help prepare them for entrance into the Federation. The current spiritual leader of Bajor, Kai O'Paka, calls upon Cmdr. Sisko as the Emissary, a title he is reluctant to assume, to help find the Celestial Temple. The Cardassians had stolen all but ONE of the 9 orbs sent to the Bajorans by the prophets. Cmdr. Sisko must use the final orb to find the Celestial Temple before the Cardassians do. He and Lt. Cmdr. Dax decide to go to the Denarious Belt, where most of the orbs had been found. They discover a very interesting thing, a stable Wormhole that leads to the unexplored Gamma quardrant. All hell breaks loose when Sisko and Dax and the Cardassian ship that followed ALL get trapped on the other side.
