Parallel Universe - Originally discovered by Kirk and company
85 years ago, this alternate, parallel universe hosts
many threats to the Federation. Sisko and his crew
have taken a few trips there and found life very much
the same - and different. The Intendant, in the form
of Kira, controls Terok Nor with the Cardassian, Garek.
Sisko, in this universe, is a pirate while Bashir and
Jadzia are part of his gang. O'Brien is a fix-it man
on the station, but he later joins the rebels. Eventually,
Sisko is killed and our Sisko replaces him for a time,
at the 'request' of parallel O'Brien. The Intendant Kira
loses power and later goes to our galaxy in search of one
of the Bajoran orbs. Our Kira stops her before she gets
it but she remains a force to be reconded with.
