We may soon find out the answer to a long-standing question in *Star Trek*. Like all good science fiction, *Star Trek* focuses as much on asking questions as it does on providing answers. The initial goal of the Enterprise was always exploration, but true exploration doesn’t mean eliminating all unknowns. It’s important to leave some mysteries unsolved, and most *Star Trek* series have finished with loose ends. These often involve simple questions like “what happens next?” – for example, what became of the Founders after *Deep Space Nine*, or the Borg after *Picard* Season 3? And what are the Q really planning? Or, for that matter, what’s been happening with Wesley Crusher?
One of the biggest unanswered questions for fans of *Star Trek* revolves around what happened to Commander Benjamin Sisko after the end of *Deep Space Nine*. In the show’s finale, he seemingly sacrificed himself to become a spiritual being with the Prophets, promising his wife he’d return “someday.” His fate has remained a long-standing mystery, but the new series *Starfleet Academy* will finally address it. A brief shot in the show’s trailer reveals a display asking questions about Sisko’s fate: did he die in the Fire Caves, or did he continue to exist in the Celestial Temple?
Sisko’s Fate May Well Be Revealed in Starfleet Academy
Starfleet Academy now teaches about Benjamin Sisko, and the fact that his ultimate fate is still a mystery in the 32nd century implies he never reunited with his wife. However, teaching cadets that ‘we simply don’t know’ feels like a missed opportunity. More importantly, the show’s executive producer, Noga Landau, recently hinted to ScreenRant that we haven’t heard the last of Sisko’s story.
We’ve really tried to celebrate the history of Star Trek, especially the last 60 years, in a lot of ways. We’ve brought back familiar faces like Robert Picardo, reprising his role as The Doctor from *Voyager*, and several cast members from *Discovery*. Plus, our set is designed to pay tribute to the heroes and values that have defined Starfleet throughout the years – you’ll see that reflected in the imagery and design.
The new season also features intriguing mysteries. Keep an eye on the character Benjamin Sisko! We’re exploring storylines and ideas that haven’t been seen in a while, and we’re doing it in a way that we hope will really satisfy longtime fans who have been eager to see what happens next. We have a clear understanding of our show’s identity and are building on the legacy of what came before.
It seems the show might finally reveal what happened to Sisko and what his life became after *Deep Space Nine*. While a full return seems unlikely, the 700-year gap between then and the setting of *Starfleet Academy* leaves open the possibility he made occasional appearances. We already know characters like Wesley Crusher did that, so it’s definitely possible for Sisko too.
