The DS9 Primer. The Final week is coming up
For those of you who've been away for a while....
The Dominion War began at the end of Season Five and pits the
Federation/Klingon/Romulan Alliance against the Dominion and the
Cardassians.
The Cardassians joined the Dominion under the leadership of Gul
Dukat, who saw
the alliance as a way to restore the power and prestige of the
Cardassian Empire
which had fallen on hard times ever since its retreat from the
Bajoran Sector.
The Dominion is ruled by the Founders, a race of Shapeshifters,
who exercise their
power through their Vorta underlings and Jem'Hadar soldiers. The
Vorta are
genetically-engineered to worship the Founders as gods. The Vorta
are also cloned,
with each succeeding copy receiving a download of the precessor's
memories and
experiences. The Jem'Hadar are also genetically engineered to worship
the
Founders, but are also addicted to a drug called Ketracel White
as a way of insuring
their undying loyalty to the Founders.
The Founder on Cardassia has no name, but is referred to simply
as the Female
Shapeshifter. She spent a great deal of time with Odo, trying to
bring him back home
to his people in the Gamma Quadrant, but has met with limited success.
Odo clearly
wants to go home to his people, but is repelled by the Dominion.
(Also, Odo is in a
relationship with Kira, and has said that if it weren't for Kira,
he would have returned
to the Link one way or the other.)
The Founders themselves have contracted a deadly disease which
is affecting the
entire Great Link (the pool of "goo" in which they naturally live).
If a cure is not found
in time, the entire race could be wiped out.
The Dominion's aim is to conquer the Alpha Quadrant and bring their
version of
"order" to the galaxy.
Cardassia is now ruled by Legate Damar, who once served under Gul
Dukat.
Following the retaking of Deep Space Nine by Starfleet, Dukat fell
into Federation
hands and suffered a bout of mental illness, thus rendering himself
incapable of
leading Cardassia on both counts. Damar became his sucessor, but
is now chafing
under the thumb of the head Vorta, Weyoun.
Dukat himself was last seen leading a cult of Bajoran Pagh-wraith
worshipers. In
Bajoran mythology, the Pagh-wraiths are the evil antithesis of
the benevolent
Prophets who live in the Celestial Temple or the Wormhole, as our
Starfleet
characters refer to it. It was a Pagh-wraith which killed Jadzia
Dax at the the end of
Season Six. Dukat's fascination with the Pagh-wraiths, who seem
intent on bringing
harm to Bajor in their plan to retake the Temple from the Prophets,
goes deeper than
a simple ploy. Dukat has found something meaningful in the Pagh-wraiths,
and it's
not clear what he plans for the future.
Sisko has been told by the Prophets that he will face a great test
and that he is "of
Bajor." What that means is unclear, but clearly the Captain is
fast approaching his
destiny. Sisko is currently in a serious relationship with Kasidy
Yates, a freighter
captain.
Worf is dealing with the presence of Jadzia's successor, Ezri being
aboard the
station. After Jadzia died, the Dax symbiont was transferred to
young Ezri Tigan, in
an emergency procedure. As a result, Ezri was completely unprepared
for the
experience of being Joined and has struggled with the memories
of her past "lives"
ever since. There is palpable tension between her and Worf, who
is extremely
uncomfortable with having this "ghost" of his dead wife walking
around the station.
Both Quark and Bashir have expressed more than casual interest
in Ezri.
Morn still drinks a lot.
Leonard Nimoy is hosting Y2K preparation video.
Nashville, TN- "The Y2K Family Survival Guide" home video created
by members of
Nashville's independent film community premiered in the Music City
recently.
Produced by Nashville-based film development and distribution company,
International Cinema Partners (ICP), the documentary is narrated
by
actor/author/director Leonard Nimoy who is best known for his role
as Star Trek's
"Mr. Spock" and his work on the "In Search Of" documentary series.
"The Y2K phenomenon is one of the most serious challenges in the
history of
humankind," reflects Andy van Roon, president of ICP and writer/executive
producer
of the project. "It is something that will affect us on a personal,
community, and
global level at the same time. It is extremely important that we
become as
knowledgeable as possible about the ramifications of Y2K and then
prepare as best
we can, both individually and collectively, for whatever may occur."
Knowledge and preparation is exactly what the video provides and,
already, online
customers at Internet retailer Amazon.com are praising the effort
as "informative but
not alarmist" and "slickly produced"- some also noting that it's
"a must for Spock
fans."
The video's search for information led production crews to New
York, Chicago,
Seattle, Washington, D.C. and back to Nashville for sources including:
- John Koskinen, chairman of President Clinton's Year 2000 Commission
- U.S. Rep. Steve Horn, R-California, chairman of the House of
Representatives Task
Force on the Year 2000 Problem
- Ken Russell, vice president of Nashville's ISDN-Net, an Internet
connection and
security service
- Jim Thacker, chief of Nashville's Office of Emergency Management
- Tim Wilson, publisher of the bi-weekly Y2K News Magazine
- Ted Wright, nationally recognized author/lecturer on family safety
and disaster
preparedness.
Combining the interviews with Nimoy's narration and deft use of
stock footage, the
video introduces the problem, clearly explains how it happened,
offers some
worst-case scenarios and tells how they are being addressed.
"The Y2K Family Survival Guide" video is being made available on
the Internet's
Amazon.com as well as retail video stores nationwide. The product
will also be
distributed in audio book form, CD-ROM and a print version.
