TREKCORE > DS9 > EPISODES > THE JEM'HADAR > DS9 Chronicles

These are 1-minute intros that were taped by several of the regular cast members. 40 episodes were chosen by the producers, and the intros were included in the reruns shown by some TV stations that run DS9 in a strip syndication package (i.e., five days a week). These intros, however, were only made for episodes in the 1st through 4th seasons.

Here are transcripts of the intros, for those of you who may not have a chance to see them. Each one is done with "Okudagram"-style graphics around the actor as he/she speaks, with a rotating image of the station, and the DS9 theme music playing in the background. The paragraphs in italics describe clips that were shown.

I'm sure you've heard the word "insectomorphic", right? Well, in Star Trek terms, it means a spaceship designed with insect-like features. And in this episode from the Deep Space Nine Chronicles, you'll see what I mean.

A Jem'Hadar ship emerges from the wormhole; in Ops, Dax says, "They're not answering"; Kira says, "Shields up. Yellow alert."

New vessels were specially designed for a group of nasty aliens called the Jem'Hadar.

Oh, and when you see these guys, you'll think they're rhinomorphic, because some people think they look like two-legged rhinos.

This episode was the dramatic season finale from our second year, with the threat of a new alien power ready to wipe out the crew. And you'll see the crew hiking and camping in a breathtaking forest, supposedly a new planet discovered on the other side of the wormhole.

They actually Trekked out the Desconzo Gardens near Los Angeles, California. I'm Cirroc Lofton. There's plenty of thrills coming your way, in "The Jem'Hadar".
