STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE relaunch

After the TV series ended, fans wanted more and writers wanted to write more, so Star Trek: Deep Space Nine continued in novels, comics, and ebooks as well as in short story collections, all dubbed the “Relaunch”.  It was the first second generation Star Trek TV series to do so.

There are several lists of this across the web; mine includes ST TNG novels that feature or include Worf as a Federation ambassador that are not usually included in other lists, but since they touch on subjects the TV series dealt with, I’ve included those in this list, at least the ones up until he resigns his ambassadorship and returns to Starfleet.

Although many of the Ambassador Worf stories are under the ST TNG label, his ambassadorship came about as a result of his activities on ST:DS9 the TV show, so I consider those part of the specifically DS9 Relaunch.

Star Trek: Lower Decks is from a different continuity, but with the characters voiced by the original actors from ST DS9 show and included here where they best fit in the timeline did they belong there.

I’ve included the Star Trek: Department of Temporal Investigations series even though storylines never cross each other because the department was introduced in “Trials and Tribble-ations”.

The Starfleet Corps of Engineers stories included are those which feature personnel from Deep Space 9.

The greater story arcs more or less self-organize into five blocks, which I’ve dubbed Seasons 8-12.

ST DS9 = Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
ST DTI = Star Trek: Department of Temporal Investigations
ST ENT = Star Trek: Enterprise
ST GKN = Star Trek: Gorkon
ST KE = Star Trek: Klingon Empire
ST LOW = Star Trek: Lower Decks
ST SCE = Star Trek: Starfleet Corps of Engineers (originally released as ebooks)
ST SNW = Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (collections of short stories)
ST TMU = Star Trek: The Mirror Universe
ST TNG = Star Trek: The Next Generation

ST DS9: Enigma Tales

2387

Julian Bashir awakes from his coma during which he had a dream that something the Borg did following their encounter with the USS Enterprise-E in 2063 leads to a temporal apocalypse caused by the Devidians devouring universes that ends with the destruction of his timeline and everything and everyone in it.  What jolts him back to consciousness is the racist absurdity and cultural appropriation of an Afro-American science fiction writer so inspired by his vision of an Afro-American captain of a space station that he risked his life, health, and sanity trying to get the story published being portrayed as proudly writing twelve years later about the most definitely not Afro-American starship captain Jean-Luc Picard.

25th century

“Season 12”

The stories in these two novels and the framing narrative of the short story collection all take place in the 25th century and form an epilogue of sorts, a coda, you might say, of the story of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

2402

ST SNW #9 – “Staying the Course”
         (Toras son of Duras leads a rebellion against Chancellor Worf)

ST ENT: The Good That Men Do
         (tells what really happened to Trip Tucker, that he wasn’t killed as depicted in the show’s finale “These Are the Voyages…”; the framing story is in the early 25th century involving reporter Jake Sisko and CMDR Rom son of Nog)

2442

ST DS9: Prophecy and Change
         (though the rest take place throughout the timeline of the TV series, the two-part framing story “Revisited” is the meeting of retired author Jake Sisko and student admirer Melanie, only without Benjamin lost in a pocket world; it takes place in 2442.  The short story collection, each written by a different author, as a whole is cast as tales told by the elderly Jake to Melanie about his life on DS9, a most fitting coda to the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine story.)
