Cornelius\u003c\/b\u003e (Editor)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite the fact that \u003ci\u003eStar Trek: Deep Space Nine\u003c\/i\u003e ended over twenty-five years ago, there has yet to be a stand-alone assessment of the series. This collection corrects that omission, examining what made \u003ci\u003eDeep Space Nine\u003c\/i\u003e so unique within the Star Trek universe, and how that uniqueness paved the way for an altogether new, entirely different vision for Star Trek. If the Star Trek slogan has always been to boldly go where no one has gone before, then \u003ci\u003eDeep Space Nine\u003c\/i\u003e helped to bring in a new renaissance of serialized television that has become normal practice. Furthermore, \u003ci\u003eDeep Space Nine\u003c\/i\u003e ushered in critical discussions on race, gender, and faith for the franchise, science fiction television and American lives. It relished in a vast cast of supporting characters that allowed for the investigation of psychosocial relationships--from familial issues to interpersonal and interspecies conflict to regional strife--that the previous \u003ci\u003eStar Trek\u003c\/i\u003e series largely overlooked. Essays explore how \u003ci\u003eDeep Space Nine\u003c\/i\u003e became the most richly complicated sci-fi series in the entire \u003ci\u003eStar Trek\u003c\/i\u003e pantheon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSherry Ginn\u003c\/b\u003e is a retired educator currently living in North Carolina.
