43 | Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

Our third trip into Star Trek and out to the Frontier with Sisko and the crew of Deep Space Nine.

Our third trip into the Star Trek universe and out to the Frontier with Benjamin Sisko and the crew of Deep Space Nine. It’s my personal favorite Star Trek series (and one of my all-time favorites). How well do your know the fourth series and the only one to take place on space station?

As always, we have three rounds of ten questions each. Each round is harder than the last. If you’re looking for a score sheet or rules, check out our Rules page.
