ST:DS9, a Chronology of the Series and its Relaunch, along with TMU

This is my chronology for the TV best series of the Star Trek, including episodes of its predecessors which give some background for the story and its relaunch in books, comics, and ebooks after the series ended.

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.



STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE

Though these are more prequel to TOS than DS9, their themes are continued in the latter.

ST:ENT S04E15 “Affliction” (1/2)
ST:ENT S04E16 “Divergence” (2/2)
            (how Klingons lost their ridges)

ST:ENT S04E18E19 “In a Mirror Darkly” 
            (first, in virtual time, of Mirror Universe)

ST TMU: Glass Empires – “The Age of the Empress”

ST TMU: Shards and Shadows – “Nobunaga”

STAR TREK: DISCOVERY

ST:DSC s01e09 “Into the Forest I Go”
ST:DSC s01e10 “Despite Yourself”
ST:DSC s01e11 “The Wolf Inside”
ST:DSC s01e12 “Vaulting Ambition”
ST:DSC s01e13 “What’s Past is Prologue”
        (all of the above deal with the Mirror Universe)

ST TMU: Shards and Shadows – “Ill Winds”

ST TMU: Shards and Shadows – “The Greater Good”

STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES

While the entire original series can be considered prequel to DS9 (as well as TNG and VOY) these four episodes are directly reflected in DS9 or TMU.

ST:TOS s01e27 Errand of Mercy
            (features Kor)

ST:TOS s02e04 “Mirror, Mirror”
            (first, in real time, of the Mirror Universe)

        (features USS Defiant, NCC-1764)

ST STA: Three

STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION

“Prequel” episodes in 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.

With regards to the three novels in this section, ST TN = Star Trek Terok Nor, a miniseries on the Occupation of Bajor.

STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE relaunch
