The First Names of "Deep Space Nine" Quiz

Answer: Nerys

Col. Kira Nerys (Nana Visitor) started out as a Major in the Bajoran Militia. She was also an instrumental member of the Resistance movement against the Cardassian Occupation.
Kira was among my favorite characters in all of "Star Trek", because she was this hard-as-nails, no-nonsense woman, but at the same time she was exceptionally spiritual and unafraid to show her softer side.

Answer: Jadzia

Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax (Terry Farrell) spent six years as Science Officer on DS9; she was also the helm operator of the U.S.S. Defiant. The term of endearment "Old Man" was based on the Dax symbiont's previous life as Curzon (who was an old man).
Terry Farrell was the only cast member of this show to not renew her contract for Season 7. She had felt that Jadzia had run her course on the show.

Answer: Elim

In "The Wire", Dr. Bashir goes to Cardassia to learn about Garak's "friend," Elim, from Enabran Tain (Paul Dooley). Tain, after some coaxing, finally reveals to Bashir that Elim is Garak's first name. Later, we learn that Enabran Tain is also Garak's father. Garak had been trained to succeed Tain as leader of the Obsidian Order, but something (we're not sure what) led to his banishment to Terok Nor to live out his life as a simple tailor. Played by Andrew Robinson, Garak became one of the most intriguing and ambiguous characters in the history of "Star Trek".

His credits are quite diverse, ranging from the title role in the TV movie about Liberace, to movies like "Hellraiser" and "Child's Play 3".

Answer: Julian

The LMH was the proposed Long-Term Medical Hologram that Dr. Lewis Zimmerman (Robert Picardo) was developing for ships on deep-space missions. As for Dr. Bashir, his secret was that when he was a child, he was poorly-developed. So, his parents took him to this facility to have him genetically altered. Because of the controversy that had surrounded the Eugenics Wars of the late 20th Century (specifically, one Khan Noonian Singh), genetic alteration of humans became illegal. Fortunately, since he had no control over these events, Bashir was allowed to continue his service to Starfleet, but his father was sentenced to two years in a Federation penal facility for his actions. FAST FACT: Alexandar Siddig, who was born Siddig El-Fadil, was once married to "DS9" co-star Nana Visitor (Kira) during the run on the show.

When she became pregnant, it was written into the show as Kira becoming an emergency surragote mother to Keiko O'Brien's (Rosalind Chao) baby after an accident aboard a runabout.

Answer: Ben

Captain Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks) began his duty on DS9 with the rank of Commander; he was promoted at the end of his third year there. His wife, Jennifer, was one of the many casualties with the battle against the Borg at Wolf-359.
Avery Brooks' first big break was as Hawk on the TV series "Spenser: For Hire", which starred Robert Urich. Hawk was such a popular character on that show, not only did he got his own spin-off, but Sisko's look evolved into Hawk's, as well (shaved head and goatee).

Answer: Michael

Commander Michael Eddington (Kenneth Marshall) was assigned to Deep Space Nine to take over as Chief of Security for the station. This displeased both Sisko and Odo (René Auberjonois) to no end. When he defected to the Maquis, Sisko took it personally.
Kenneth Marshall's credits include roles in "Krull" and "Operation Delta Force II", as well as guest-starring turns in "Quantum Leap" and the first incarnation of "Hunter".

Answer: Miles

Chief Miles O'Brien (Colm Meaney) transferred to Deep Space Nine after serving five years on board the Enterprise-D as its Transporter Chief. Besides darts, O'Brien and Dr. Bashir also enjoyed the occasional Holosuite adventure at Quark's. Edward is O'Brien's middle name.
Colm Meaney's movie credits include "Die Hard 2: Die Harder", "Under Siege", "The Commitments", "Con-Air", and "Mystery, Alaska".

Answer: Ezri

Lt. Ezri Dax (Nicole de Boer) was assigned to Deep Space Nine in its seventh year of Starfleet occupation. She was the ninth host of the Dax symbiont, the last of whom was Jadzia. Her family operates a mining business at New Sydney.
Since the conclusion of "Deep Space Nine", Toronto native Nicole de Boer has been featured in "Rated X" and the TV series "The Dead Zone". She also co-starred in the cult hit "Cube" before joining "DS9".

Answer: Luther

Commander Luther Sloan (William Sadler) was a sly fellow. His "use" of Dr. Bashir usually meant that Bashir did the dirty work, while Sloan waited silently in the wings for the results of the assignment.
William Sadler is a veteran of both film and television. He has been in "Die Hard 2: Die Harder", "The Green Mile", and "The Shawshank Redemption", as well as the TV series "Roswell".

Answer: Adami

Kai Winn Adami (Louise Fletcher) succeeded Kai Opaka (Camille Saviola), who remained behind on a small moon in the Gamma Quadrant to hopefully bring peace to two long-warring factions. Though it was never proved, Kai Winn was believed to have been responsible for the bombing of a school on DS9.
Louise Fletcher has been acting in movies and television since 1958. She has won several awards during her career, including an Oscar for Best Actress for her role as Nurse Ratched in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (1975).
