Biography:
Benjamin Sisko was born in New Orleans, Louisana on Earth in 2332. Sisko joined Starfleet Academy in
2350, during his sophomore year, he spent a field-study assignment on Starbase 137, and graduated 2354.
When he was an ensign he met Curzon Dax for the first time at Pelios Station, and later served with him
on the USS Livingston. Sisko later served onboard the USS Okinawa under Captain Leyton, at the time
he was in engineering, but Leyton promoted him to lieutenant commander and first officer. He served on
the USS Saratoga as first officer until it was destroyed by a Borg cube at Wolf 359 in 2367 and reassigned
to the Utopia Plantia Fleet Yards where he worked on the USS Defiant. Sisko also worked on Earth,
directing the construction of orbital habitats. When Sisko was promoted to commander he was given
command of Deep Space-9. While at DS-9 he was the first person to discover the wormhole to the Gamma
Quadrant. Aside from being a Starfleet commander, he was also the Emissary to the Prophets in the
Bajoran's religion. He also made first contact with the Dominion, and in 2372, temporarily appointed
to head of Starfleet security when a Dominion invasion was feared. Sisko was put in command of the USS
Defiant, stationed at DS-9 to protect it and Bajor from a Dominion attack. He even helped the terran
rebellion of the mirror-universe built a mirror-Defiant to fight the Alliance. Sisko was promoted to
captain in 2371 on stardate 48959.1. Sisko was responsible for the start of the Dominion war in 2373
by putting a mine field over the wormhole to stop further Dominion forces entering the Alpha Quadrant.
After he, and all other Starfleet personnel abandoned DS-9, he was stationed on Starbase 375. Sisko
led a massive fleet to retake DS-9 to prevent the Dominion from taking down the mine field and allowing
a huge fleet from entering the Alpha Quadrant. He, and Garak, were also able to bring in the Romulans
on the Federation's side against the Dominion by falsifying evidence. In 2374, Sisko led a fleet to
the Chin'toka system along with Klingon and Romulan fleets and was successful in liberating it from the
Dominion. In 2375, he married Kasidy Yates, despite a warning from the Prophets. Near the end of 2375,
Sisko led a final assault against the Dominion, which led to their surrender. He was last seen leaving
for Bajor on the USS Rio Grande. While in the fire caves, he met Dukat, possessed by the Pah-Wraiths,
and Kai Winn, killed by Dukat. To prevent the Pah-Wraiths from escaping, Sisko pushed Dukat into the
fire pits falling in himself. In a sense, Sisko died, but actually left the linear existance and joined
the Prophets.
