In addition to the episodes of other Star trek shows
and movies related even slightly to the story of ST:DS9, I’ve included all of
the Mirror Universe (at least those that follow the main TMU chronology) since
TMU stories play such a major part of the ST:DS9 relaunch.
I have also added the Mirror Universe episodes from the first season of Star Trek: Discovery.

the immediately preceding iteration of Star Trek that provide a set up for the
story in the main series addressed here.
These are essential viewing, especially for those who have not seen Star
Trek: The Next Generation or who have not seen it in a long time. A few are not directly related to ST:DS9 but fill in support stories that are.

novels in this section, ST TN = Star Trek Terok Nor, a miniseries on the

STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE relaunch
After the 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. It was the first of the second generation Star
Trek TV series to do so, establishing the trend. There are several lists of this across the
