Description:

The Dominion War ended ten years ago. The Federation, once on the brink of
destruction, has regained its tenuous hold on the Alpha Quadrant and
reemerged once again as a Galactic super-power. Relations with the
Klingons have stabilized, and a formal friendship treaty has been
established with the Romulans. Though the Neutral Zone between the
Federation and the Romulans still exists, joint operations between the two
races take place frequently within the space, and even the Klingons have
taken part in them.

The Cardassians continue to rebuild, but many of the old hatreds have
faded. Due to the tireless work of Gul Renkol, the young Cardassian
leader, the Breen are now trading partners with the Ferengi, and through
that agreement, have opened their borders to Federation ships for the
first time.

Six months ago, the Dominion sent a request for formal peace talks with
the members of the Alpha Quadrant. A treaty was signed, called the Bajor
Six Accords (named for the 6 races involved) establishing trading routes,
and calling for the building of a station on the Gamma Quadrant side of
the Bajor wormhole.

The Federation has taken the responsibility of constructing the station.
Bajor's unique placement has made the planet, and it's station Deep Space
Nine, a critical hub for construction of this new facility. A small
section of space, called the Bajor Corridor, has been set up to allow
passage of ships from Romulan, Cardassian, Klingon, Federation, and
Ferengi space through the wormhole and into the Gamma Quadrant.

As a show of solidarity, the Federation has recently announced ac
ombination of Starfleet, Klingon, Romulan, and Cardassian military
officers as the command structure of this unprecedented venture. In an
extremely rare decision that shows how sensitive this operation is,
Starfleet has allowed the Station's CO and XO to hand-pick officers for
their crew.
