Benjamin Sisko

Benjamin’s life was prophetic from the start.  His human mother was possessed by a non-linear alien species, known as a prophet, who lived in the unknown Bajron wormhole.  The Prophet ensured the birth of Benjamin in 2332 in city of New Orleans on Earth to make his prophecy come true.  Benjamin later became known at the Emissary of the Prophets to the Bajoran people for discovering the Bajoran wormhole. 

During his childhood years, Sisko and his siblings were taught by their father to cook their own food as his father owned a restaurant.  It was ironic, that his father believed that replicated food was wrong yet Sisko was expected to beam himself each night in 2359 from the Starfleet Academy to New Orleans for a family dinner. 

In 2354, Benjamin met his first wife Jennifer after he had completed his studies as a Starfleet Engineer.  She was very devoted to Benjamin and followed him throughout his career.  During their extended stay on Deep Space 9, his only son Jake was born.  She later died during the Battle of Wolf when he served as Lieutenant Commander of the USS Saratoga in 2366.  It was this loss that made Sisko move to the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards to help design and engineer the Defiant Class Starship that would play a predominant role in his later life.

As a Starfleet officer, Benjamin Lafeyette Sisko was best remembered for his seven year command of Deep Space 9 in the Bajor sector were the Bajoran wormhole was located.  Even so, Sisko was a great strategist and excellent Captain of a series of Starships during a time when Starfleet was in many battles.  He fought the Borg as Captain of the USS Defiant and was a front line commander in the Dominion War ending his Starfleet career as the Captain of the USS Sao Paulo.  After a very long and eventful career with Starfleet, Benjamin finally in 2375 took up his rightful place with the Prophets of the Celestial Temple.
