After production ended and the sets were dismantled, the Defiant bridge set was declared "fold & hold" and placed in storage. It has been redressed and reused as the bridge of an alien cargo ship and a Klingon battlecruiser on "Star Trek: Voyager" (1995) and the bridge of the ECS Fortunate on "Star Trek: Enterprise" (2001). |

References are frequently made to Starfleet "ground troops," and some Starfleet characters have different uniforms (a black uniform with a small colored stripe across the middle). Fans generally accept that these characters are part of a Starfleet Marine Corps, although this has never been explicitly stated on-screen. There was a Starfleet Colonel West in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991); West was most likely a Starfleet Marine, since navies do not have the rank of colonel. |

According to an April 2003 interview, Avery Brooks was initially required by contract to appear with hair in order to prevent confusion with his "Spenser: For Hire" (1985) character, Hawk. In later seasons, as Sisko became established, Brooks was allowed to shave his head and re-grow his beard. |

Although we only rarely see it, there is an ATM in Quark's bar. It dispenses the various types of currency used by major races visiting the station: Federation credits, Bajoran litas, Cardassian leks, and Ferengi latinum. |

The design of Ops incorporates ideas that were considered but dropped for The Bridge on "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (1987), such as the upper level office, the briefing table in the center of the room, and the transporter being built into the set. |

Benjamin Sisko is the only Captain in a Star Trek series that didn't start out as a Captain at the beginning of the series. From Seasons 1-3, Sisko held the rank of Commander. It wasn't until the Season 3 finale, "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: The Adversary (#3.26)" (1993), where he was finally promoted to Captain. |
