January 3, 1993, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine premiered, the third live-action series in the Star Trek franchise. The first episode, Emissary, introduced us to a new cast of heroes: Commander Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks), Major Kira (Nana Visitor), Odo (Rene Auberjonois), Dr. Bashir (Alexander Siddig), Lt. Dax (Terry Farrell), Jake Sisko (Cirroc Lofton), Chief O'Brien (Colm Meaney) and Quark (Armin Shimerman).
It is the only Star Trek series that is based in a stationary setting. Many of my friends cited this as a reason for not liking it, but their loss. I liked it as much as Star Trek: The Next Generation.
The show lasted for 7 seasons, but it ended in such a way that there won't be any Deep Space 9 movies. Bummer!
