Captain Benjamin Sisko's quest to defeat the killer of gods is at an end, and the Prophets beckon him home to the Celestial Temple. He's earned his rest, but he no longer wants to retire into godhood. So when Starfleet requests his help to stop a familiar foe, the Tzenkethi Coalition, from launching their fleet across the Alpha Quadrant, Sisko and the Theseus' crew set out to once again save the galaxy. They team up with Operative Kingsnake (a.k.a. Harry Kim), but the Tzenkethi leader has surprising allies of his own: the Romulans! There's a reason this species of spiritually rich, lizard birds has twice defeated Starfleet in battle. They're xenophobic, ruthless, and innovative...and confronting them on their home turf, a planet thought to be an organism itself, is a death sentence. Collects issues #13-18.
