Benjamin Sisko

Benjamin Lafayette Sisko was a Human Starfleet officer who is most famous for his tenure as Commanding officer of Deep Space 9 in the Bajor System from 2369 to 2375. He is the father of author Jake Sisko.

During his earlier career, Sisko fought the Tzenkethi and later the Borg at the Battle of Wolf 359, leading to him participating in the design of the Defiant Class. Shortly after becoming the CO of Deep Space 9, Commander Sisko discovered the Bajoran wormhole and became known to the Bajoran people as the Emissary of the Prophets. Being promoted to Captain, he would later command the USS Defiant and play a critical role as a Starfleet strategist and front line commander in the Dominion War. At the war's conclusion, Sisko entered the Bajoran Wormhole and joined the Prophets.

 * Sisko's Baseball still sits on his old desk in a glass case on DS9.
 * Sisko's dialogue in "Armistice" and "Measure of Morality (Part 2)" are pre-recorded voice lines from DS9.
