Answer: Eav'oq

Tosk found part of his "Other" purpose in Opaka Sulan, but the culmination of their paths in the Gamma Quadrant is found on a planet in the Idran system, near the wormhole. There, a cavern with exceptionally strong spiritual energy contains writing that only Tosk can read, instructing them how to awaken the legendary Eav'oq. He is killed before this is accomplished, but together Jake and Opaka use their historical knowledge of Bajor to awaken the Eav'oq. Any illusions Jake had regarding the captain's motivations are shattered when he realizes that Dez is only interested in what he can gain monetarily from this event; stolen Eav'oq crystals and other artifacts will fetch a large profit for the Even Odds.

Answer: Orb of Memory

The Enterprise returns the Orb to the Bajoran people; a grateful Colonel Kira Nerys, now commander of DS9, accepts it.

Answer: Ohalu

Security Chief Ro Laren finds the book and is stunned by what she reads in it, despite her agnosticism. Written millennia ago in an unusual style, the Ohalu prophecies are far more accurate than most of the accepted prophecies. The Vedek Assembly considers them dangerous because of the "heretical" view they present of the Prophets as teachers, not gods. The Ohalu text also contains a shocking statement about the future: before the Avatar's birth and the dawn of a new era of peace, ten thousand Bajorans would have to be sacrificed. An Orb experience allows Kira to understand that the ten thousand were those who gave their life to protect the Ohalu writings throughout the centuries; Istani Reyla was the final one.

Answer: Cardassians

The returning Defiant is challenged by a fleet of Cardassian warships, led by Gul Macet. Since the parasites cannot access long-term memory, the senior officers are challenged with certain questions to prove that the ship has not been compromised. They are then allowed to dock at DS9, where they undergo a series of security scans performed by the Cardassians. The immunity of Cardassians to the parasites was discovered when one failed in its attempt to possess Gul Macet. The parasites' presence is highly classified, and few know the truth behind the extreme security measures. The Defiant's senior officers are immediately briefed on the desperate situation upon their arrival.

Answer: Dax no longer requires a host or a liquid environment

The millennia-old alien artifact exists in multiple dimensions, through which it constantly shifts. Contradictorily known in their language as Cathedral/Anathema, it is the subject of a war between the D'naali and the Nyazen, the former wanting to destroy it, the latter determined to preserve it. The D'naali guide aboard the Defiant, nicknamed Sacagawea, tells Ezri Tigan, the hostless Dax symbiont in its specially designed tank, two-legged Nog, and the rapidly deteriorating Julian that their "worldlines" are misaligned; this is interpreted to mean that they are merging with their selves from another, parallel universe. This can only be rectified inside the artifact, where they each must face their own demons and other selves before becoming whole again; all four are successful and come to accept some difficult parts of their lives. "Mission Gamma, Book Two: Cathedral" is the collaborative effort of authors Michael A. Martin and Andy Mangels.

Answer: Stephen E. Whitfield and Gene Roddenberry

I don't know if the book lives up to its promise... However, as the authors had had success with writing for Television, their advice might be well to take.

Answer: A Hirogen hunting party

Vaughn's wife, an intelligence agent named Ruriko Tenmei, was thought dead after he ordered her on a suicide mission to a Borg vessel seven years earlier, the act that separated him from his daughter, Prynn. The signal detected by the Defiant was from a device implanted in her; Ruriko is the only living drone aboard the former Federation vessel. Julian attempts to restore her humanity, and though Prynn finds remnants of her mother in the drone, her Borg implants are still dangerous. Vaughn is forced to kill her, again, to save Prynn's life; the wedge between father and daughter grows exponentially. The planet also harbors a crashed Jem'Hadar ship and a young female changeling, who is returned to Weyoun in exchange for three unexpected passengers. This relaunch miniseries concludes with "Mission Gamma, Book Four: Lesser Evil," written by Robert Simpson.

Answer: Michael Okuda, Denise Okuda and Debbie Mirek

I love this book because it's chock-full of great facts. It is written like a normal encyclopedia, but also contains italicized comments with 'behind the scenes' information.

From Quiz The "Star Trek DS9" Relaunch - Pt. II

Answer: Montenegro

Ro is alone in her belief that Gard never actually left the station, and the USS Gryphon attempts to pursue him after falsely reporting signs of a cloaked ship headed for Trill. The parasite that infected Shakaar was of the same species that once perpetrated a conspiracy in Starfleet. Kira receives word that someone on the Gryphon has been taken over as well; Montenegro leads her to believe that it is the Captain. They realize the truth when they confront a perplexed Mello; she is killed by the parasite-dominated Montenegro, but first gives Kira command of the Gryphon to prevent Montenegro from waging his war on Trill. Kira succeeds in killing the first officer and the evil parasite he unwillingly hosted. Meanwhile, Ro, with some unsolicited aid from Taran'atar, proves her hunch correct when Gard is found on DS9.
