Star Trek Deep Space Nine: Millennium #1: The Fall of Terok Nor » (Abridged)

Bajor is in flames. The corridors of Terok Nor echo with the sounds of battle. It is the end of the Cardassian Occupation and the beginning of the greatest epic adventure in the saga of Deep Space 9™

Six years later, with the Federation losing ground in its war against the Dominion, the galaxy's greatest smugglers, including the beautiful and enigmatic Vash, rendezvous on Deep Space 9. Their objective: a fabled lost Orb of the Prophets unlike any other, rumored to be the key to unlocking a second wormhole in Bajoran Space, a second Celestial Temple.

Almost immediately, mysterious events plague the station: Odo arrests Quark for murder; Jake and Nog lead Chief O'Brien to an eerie holosuite in a section of the station that's not on any schematic; and a Cardassian scientist whom even the Obsidian Order once feared makes an unexpected appearance. With all these events tied to a never-before-told story of the Cardassian withdrawal, Captain Benjamin Sisko faces...

KLIATT

This is the first volume in the exciting three-volume Millennium series. In this installment, Captain Sisko discovers that Quark is holding an auction of an artifact that may be one of three mysterious lost orbs of the Prophets. As a result, several notorious smugglers and some Cardassians arrive on Deep Space Nine. When one of the smugglers is killed, Quark is the prime suspect. Eventually Sisko uncovers all three orbs and accidentally opens a worm hole on Deep Space Nine that tears the station apart and catapults Sisko and his command staff in the Defiant 25 years into the future. The plot thickens when they find that they emerge in the midst of a battle in The War of the Prophets.
