Summary

From the DVD booklet:

Welcome to the fourth year of the adventures of Deep Space Nine, remote and abandoned Cardassian outpost stationed on the very edge of the known universe.

This is the year in which the Klingon Empire joins the struggle against the Dominion in force.

Beset by paranoid Klingon forces led by the ferocious General Martok, Sisko calls for the one man who can deal with the unpredictable ally: Starfleet's first Klingon officer - Lt. Commander Worf.

While the hunt for Changeling infiltrators continues on Cardassia, Qo'noS and Earth, the crew of Deep Space 9 deal with additional complications. Sisko fights a plot to overthrow the leadership of the United Federation of Planets. Dax faces expulsion from the Trill Homeworld and the enforced death of her symbiont.

Kira joins forces with the hated Gul Dukat not once, but twice. Odo must accept Kira's relationship with a powerful Bajoran politician. O'Brien lives through 20 years of hard labor in an alien prison.

After a visit to Roswell, Earth, in 1947, Quark is forced to sell his remains on the Futures Market, despite still being alive. And Julian Bashir lives out his fantasy as a 1960s secret agent.

While Deep Space 9's officers soldier on, the Klingons, the Cardassians, the Maquis and the Jem'Hadar seem determined to bring the battle to Starfleet.

Welcome to 2372. It's going to be a long and eventful year...
