In the year of 2699 one of the Quadrant Accords was between Bajor and Cardassia. It was stated that the "Orb of Peace" was to be hosted by Cardassia for 30 years. However, in the year of 2700 it was stolen. Cardassia suspects that it was Bajor. Starfleet Intelligence reported that there is an uprising and civil unrest between the two planets. Warring factions and cells have become a major cause for concern from the neighboring planets of the GAMMA quadrant. The station nearest to Bajor is Starbase DS9. Now Captain Sisko, has requested Star Fleet's aid as the war is now taking over DS9's airspace.
