Star Trek Quietly Erased Deep Space Nine’s Darkest Sisko Storyline From Trek History

The new Star Trek series, Starfleet Academy, recently revisited the events of DS9 and brought back characters from the more recent timeline. One episode focused on the conclusion of Benjamin Sisko’s story, but a less explored aspect of his life is how it all began. Viewers first met Sisko as the first officer on the USS Saratoga, which was destroyed during the Battle of Wolf 359. This battle saw Starfleet fight the Borg, and their famous Captain Jean-Luc Picard was assimilated, becoming Locutus of Borg. Though the Enterprise crew eventually rescued him, Picard became a legend among those who survived Wolf 359 – remembered as the only Borg so dangerous they earned a name. However, the initial episode of Deep Space Nine never fully delved into the tension between Sisko and Picard.
