Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Summary
For a TV show that hold so many warm category units , Star Trek : Deep Space Ninehas a weird problem when it comes to the buddy of many of its lineament . DS9has one of the largest ensemble mold in the entireStar Trekfranchise , introducing multiple non - Starfleet characters with personal and familial link to the regulars . Joseph Sisko ( Brock Peters ) , the sire of Captain Benjamin Sisko ( Avery Brooks ) was a recur character fromDS9season 4 onward . The Sisko family were the heart ofDS9 , butChief O’Brien ( Colm Meaney)and his wife Keiko O’Brien ( Rosalind Chao ) also had an authoritative role to play .
Sisko and O’Brien were inviolable male parent figures , particularly in a poignant moment fromStar Trek : Deep Space Nineseason 2 , episode 15 , " Paradise " , in which they liken notes on Father . However , Sisko and O’Brien were also brothers to nameless siblings , something that never factor into their plot line . Quark ( Armin Shimerman ) and Nog ( Max Grodénchik ) are the well known brotherly relationship inDS9 , but Sisko , O’Brien and otherDeep Space Ninecharactershad brothers who were never seen on - screen .
Despite being seen as Quark ’s useless brother in DS9 ’s early days , Rom was a new type of Ferengi in Star Trek , who did n’t need profit to be well-chosen .

Why We Never Meet Sisko, O’Brien, and Kira’s Brothers
The most likely account for why audiences never cope with Sisko and O’Brien ’s comrade inStar Trek : Deep Space Nineis that the writer forgot they exist . However , in terminal figure of an in - creation explanation for Sisko and O’Brien never receiving a sojourn , one need only reckon at where theformer Cardassian space stationis situated . Deep Space Nine is out on the frontier , and Sisko and O’Brien only ever make it back to Earth for prescribed Starfleet business enterprise . Therefore , their brothers are unlikely to make the long journeying , especially if they ’re civilian .
Major Kira ’s brothers are a more interesting case , as they presumably live on Bajor or one of the nearby planets . Kira never states that her pal were killed during the Cardassian Occupation of Bajor , so they ’re presumably still alive throughoutStar Trek : Deep Space Nine . Given Nerys ' initial enmity toward Sisko and the Federation , it ’s not too large a stretch to conceive of that Kira Pohl and Kira Reon also opposed the Federation ’s involvement , and chose not to chaffer DS9 in protest .
All episodes of Star Trek : Deep Space Nine are useable to rain cats and dogs on Paramount+ .
