About Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: The Fallen

The game begins with a cutscene set during the final days of the Cardassian occupation of Bajor. A Cardassian scientist called Terrell (voiced by Nancy Linari) has discovered one of the red Orbs and is studying it in a secret research facility on Terok Nor, a space station orbiting Bajor, with the intention of harnessing its power as a weapon for the Cardassian Union. However, there is an accident and her Cardassian guards are killed. Soon thereafter, the Cardassians seal the room and abandon the station, handing it over to the Federation.

Six years later, the USS Defiant receives a distress call from a Bajoran science vessel which has been recently attacked, although there are no ships in the vicinity. Cpt. Sisko (Kevin Michael Richardson) takes a shuttle to investigate and tag the survivors with transport enhancers. However, whilst he is still on board, a Grigari (a mysterious mercenary race from the fringes of the Beta Quadrant) warship de-cloaks and attacks the Defiant. On board, Lt. Cmd. Worf (Michael Dorn) must work to restore impulse power to the ship while fighting Grigari boarding parties. Eventually, Worf completes his repairs, Sisko rescues the survivors, and the Defiant returns to Deep Space Nine (the former Terok Nor).

Meanwhile, Major Kira Nerys (Nana Visitor) is meeting an old friend of hers from the days of the Bajoran Resistance movement, Obanak Keelen (Michael Bell). Kira is shocked to learn that Obanak has become the leader of a sect known as the Cult of the Pah-wraiths, a heretical group who believe the Pah-wraiths to be the "True Prophets" of Bajor. Obanak asks Kira to put pressure on the Vedek Assembly (Bajor's religious leaders) to allow the Cult to explore an ancient temple on the moon Jeraddo. However, the monastery in which she is meeting him is attacked by soldiers acting on the orders of the Assembly. Kira manages to get Keelen to her runabout, and they head back to Deep Space Nine.
