Mission: Crack in the Mirror

In Crack In the Mirror, the player helps the crew of Deep Space 9 fight off an invasion from the mirror universe.

Summary
The walls between our world and the Mirror Universe are breaking down, and DS9 will be the first battlefield.

Synopsis
The player is asked to locate DS9's chief engineer, Commander Maxwell, and help him stop a series of malfunctions around the station. Upon beaming into the cargo ring, the player finds Maxwell's corpse and discovers a Terran Empire strike force has boarded the station and is installing devices to disable its defenses. Once the teams are all down and the devices are deactivated, Captain James Kurland alerts the player to an incoming enemy task force. The player returns to their ship.

Outside, the player must defeat a squad of enemy frigates and prevent two Troop Transports from docking at DS9. Once this is done, the player's bridge officers determine that the Terran ships came from Bajor VII. After warping to the planet, they find four enemy cruisers and a squadron of Peregine-class fighters protecting an enemy-occupied mining station. The player defeats the enemy ships and beams down to the facility.

The player fights their way through the Imperial forces guarding the base, discovering along the way that they are stealing : an element known to be potentially capable of altering the Bajoran wormhole if the two ever come into contact. Eventually the away team reaches the center of the station where they encounter Captain James O'Brien, son of the deposed and current leader of the Empire. O'Brien briefly taunts the player before beaming to his flagship,, which is hidden in orbit.

The player returns to their ship, which comes under attack from three frigates to cover Molly's escape. After fighting them off, the player follows Molly to DS9 and destroys two enemy cruisers before engaging the battleship directly. O'Brien's ship is eventually destroyed, but not before it can launch three Danube-class runabouts (,, and ) loaded with silithium to redirect the wormhole to the mirror universe and allow thousands of Terran ships to invade. The player manages to destroy them all, and scans the wormhole to see if there is any damage.

The player is suddenly contacted by a Prophet (taking the form of Danna Brott) who informs them that the Orb of Possibilities must be exchanged with its mirror counterpart to bring the two universes back into balance. The player is returned to their bridge and reports to their mission contact (either Kurland or S'taass).
