Jennifer Sisko was the first wife of famous Starfleet captain Benjamin Sisko. The two met on Gilgo Beach in 2354 and were married soon after. Later that year, Jennifer and Benjamin attended the Mazurka Festival on New Berlin with Cal and Gretchen Hudson. (DS9: "Emissary", "The Maquis, Part I")
Jennifer and Benjamin planned to have a child and their son Jake was born in 2355. (DS9: "Explorers")
Jennifer and Jake accompanied Ben on his assignment to the USS Saratoga, where she was killed when that ship was destroyed by the Borg at the Battle of Wolf 359 in 2367. Jennifer's death devastated Ben and it would be years before he began to move on emotionally. In fact, his bitterness and anger over her death, specifically toward Captain Jean-Luc Picard, whom the Borg assimilated and forced to lead their invasion of Earth as Locutus, almost led him to resign his Starfleet commission. (DS9: "Emissary", "The Way of the Warrior")
Her image was later used in a vision projected to Ben by the Prophets in 2369. (DS9: "Emissary")
Jennifer's death haunted Ben for years. He had trouble sleeping around the fourth anniversary of her death. Shortly after, he met Fenna, whom he told Jadzia Dax was the first person he'd "felt really drawn to" since Jennifer's death. (DS9: "Second Sight")
When Ben began dating Kasidy Yates he was initially uncomfortable being with her, as it was his job that got Jennifer killed and he did not want the same to happen to her. (DS9: "Indiscretion")
One of the ideas Jake had for Anslem was to make it semi-autobiographical, with the main character's mother dying. (DS9: "The Muse")
In an alternate timeline in which Benjamin Sisko suffered temporal displacement, Melanie read an autobiography of Jake that mentioned his mothers death. (DS9: "The Visitor")
Appearances
Background Information
- Jennifer Sisko was played by Felecia M. Bell.
- In Voyages of Imagination, Robert Simpson notes that he and Marco Palmieri pitched a story to the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine writers that featured the return of Jennifer Sisko. Their idea was to have it revealed Jennifer was taken from the Saratoga by the Borg and assimilated. Benjamin Sisko would then encounter her. The pitch never sold, although Simpson later used the idea in the Mission Gamma novel "Lesser Evil".
