Changes: Pocket DS9 characters

Revision as of 20:39, 28 August 2006

Characters from the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine relaunch novels from Pocket Books.

Many of the main characters from the aired episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine appear in the novels in this series. Characters from Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Next Generation also appear. Other new characters are listed below.

Regular characters

Benjamin Sisko: Starfleet CO of Deep Space 9. Sisko was assigned to the station when he was a commander in rank, but later he received a promotion to captain. Sisko, who first appeared in the novelization "Emissary", was in nearly all DS9 publications until the so-called "relaunch", when he was removed from the series due to his fate revealed in DS9: "What You Leave Behind". He returned from that hiatus in "Unity".

Kira Nerys

Bajoran Militia liaison and XO of DS9. Kira was assigned to the station while a major in rank, and she eventually was promoted to colonel, and later was made station CO. Kira, who first appeared in the novelization "Emissary", has appeared in nearly all DS9 publications to date.

Worf

Former Starfleet strategic operations officer of Deep Space Nine. Worf had previously served for eight years aboard the USS Enterprise-D, being promoted to lieutenant commander as well as receiving a dual commission as a Klingon Defense Force officer, before accepting Sisko's offer of a position aboard DS9. Worf served as the XO of both the USS Defiant and IKS Rotarran throughout the Dominion War. At the conclusion of the war, Worf was offered the title of Federation ambassador to the Klingon Empire, which he accepted. On occasion, he also has served aboard the USS Enterprise-E. Worf has additional novel appearances listed in Pocket TNG characters.

Elias Vaughn

Commander Vaughn was a former operative with Starfleet Special Operations. He became Kira Nerys' new first officer on Deep Space 9 (and commanding officer of the USS Defiant).

Vaughn was 101 years old when we first met him, and is in excellent physical health, showing that humans routinely live much longer in Trek's future.

Vaughn has been offered promotions many times over the years, but in keeping with his mission with Special Ops, prefers to remain a Commander in order to keep a low profile. Even so, officers all the way to the rank of Admiral routinely rely on Vaughn for advice, and generally do not attempt to pull rank on him.

He has a strained relationship with his daughter, Starfleet Ensign Prynn Tenmei, ever since an incident with Prynn's mother Ruriko, who had been assimilated by the Borg. When Ruriko attacked her daughter and attempted to assimilate her, Elias was forced to kill Ruriko in self defense. Prynn blamed him for years for this incident.

Elias Vaughn has never appeared onscreen, but Sean Connery is a popular fan choice for the role, should it be needed (Vaughn has appeared on the cover of some DS9 novels, but not resembling any specific person). Appearances include "Avatar, Part I" (first appearance); "Avatar, Part II"; "Abyss"; "Demons of Air and Darkness". Outside the Ds9 series, he as been seen in "Serpents Among the Ruins" (Star Trek: The Lost Era, earliest chronological appearance); "The Art of the Impossible"; "The Battle of Betazed" (Pocket TNG)

Sam Bowers
Taran'atar: The Jem'Hadar chosen by Odo to be his represenative to the Alpha Quadrant.
Thirishar ch'Thane: Ensign Ch'Thane is DS9's new Science Officer. He is an Andorian, and the son of the Andorian representative to the Federation Council.
Prynn Tenmei: Ensign Tenmei is the Defiant's new navigator, and Cmdr. Vaughn's daughter. She blames her father for the death of her mother, who was believed killed during an away mission he sent her on.

Recurring characters

Akellan Macet: Cardassian, captain of Trager.
Storil/Saros: Vulcan captain of Saratoga
