== History == [[File:bajoran_treaty.png|thumb|The Treaty of Bajor was signed at Deep Space 9 in [[24th Century#2370-2379|2375]].]] Deep Space Nine was built in [[24th Century#2350-2369|2351]] as a mining station, serving Cardassian forces during the Occupation of [[Bajor]]. The station's original designation is ''Terok Nor''. In [[24th Century#2350-2369|2369]] [[Starfleet]] takes control of the station at the request of the [[Bajoran]] provisional government. Following the discovery of the [[Bajoran wormhole]] the station is moved from its original position in Bajor's orbit and becomes one of the most important commerce facilities in the entire [[Alpha Quadrant]]. It is also the starting point for any ship exploring the [[Gamma Quadrant]]. After hostile confrontations lead to all-out war, Deep Space Nine is at the center stage of the First [[Dominion War]] from [[24th Century#2370-2379|2373 to 2375]]. The station's crew, including commanding officer [[Benjamin Sisko]], take part in many pivotal battles of the war. Following the Dominion War, Deep Space Nine remains an important hub for trade, commerce, diplomacy and military operations. While [[True Way]] forces attempt to destabilize the region by attacking the station numerous times, DS9 is mostly recognized as the base of operation for joint [[Starfleet]]-[[Klingon]] anti-[[Borg]] operations. As of 2410, Deep Space 9 is once again processing ore. However Bajorans refuse to work in ore processing due to memories of the occupation, so much of the work is conducted by refugees from the Gamma Quadrant. ({{mission|Storm Clouds Gather}}) ===Design history=== [[File:DeepSpace9-promenade..jpg|thumb|The pre-Victory is Life Promenade design]] :''For more images on the early design of the station, [[:Category:Deep Space 9 (pre-ViL)|click here]].'' When initially introduced, the scale of DS9's exterior was closer to canon, however it was considered too small by players and was increased in size to better allow ships to fly through it. Also, the space around DS9 was a diffuse brown nebula. This was changed with the release [[Featured Series]] ''[[The 2800]]'' to more closely resemble the purple [[ma:Denorios belt|Denorios belt]] seen in the series. The release of The 2800 also granted [[Klingon]]-faction players access to the station for the first time. [[Victory is Life]] saw a total overhaul of the design of the Promenade, Ops and the exterior of the station to bring it closer to canon and increase the overall quality and feel of the design. Developers pored through shots from the entire series to faithfully recreate the design, and matched the old plans of the promenade to the size of the still-used Paramount studio. The sections of the promenade not built by the studio used elements inspired from various changes in the set design over the years. The size of the station exterior was not changed at that time, as it would require resizing on all maps that use DS9, and the usage of interior maps on combat ground missions was also not changed as it was difficult to arrange combat in the now much smaller interior. {{clear}}
