The Trek Update
By Jim Ford
Trekkers and Trekkies everywhere should begin holding their breath until
January of 1993 when Paramount will release their new television series
"Star Trek : Deep Space Nine." The Project has been in development for
Paramount Since mid to late 1991 and is about to become a reality. The
third Star Trek television series will hit the air waves in 11 months. Very
little is known about the planned series and Paramount has only released a
few minute details.
So Far we know that the action will take place aboard a starbase
in deep Federation space. The details are very sketchy but apparently the
starbase will be located at the base of a wormhole where it can study the
actions and reactions of this phenomenon.
Paramount and creators are extremely adamant about one thing,DS9
will not be another "sequel" to the original series; it will be a SPINOFF
of the Next Generation series which indeed indicates that various character
crossovers will occur between the two series (sort of like "Green Acres",
and "Petticoat Junction". I know the comparison is unfair, but it's the
closest I could come). There is no word of characters or actors yet.
