One of the best things about watching Star Trek is falling in love with characters like Captain Benjamin Lafayette Sisko. From jetting out on five-year missions to exploring the galaxy, each is a different interpretation of what it means to boldly go where no one has gone before. Captain Sisko (Avery Brooks) of Deep Space 9, in many ways, is a rare breed even for a class of officers whose experiences range from time travel to being possessed by cyborgs. Fans had the privilege of watching him earn his captain title. Captain Sisko was also pivotal in helping Bajor reclaim its primary space station after it had been claimed during the occupation of Cardassia.
