Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Summary
Star Trek : Deep Space Ninehad plans to introduce the franchise ’s first Romulan crew member , but the character was abandoned after only two episodes . After centuries of being enemies , the terror bewilder by the Dominion eventually wedge the Federation into an alignment with the Romulan Star Empire inDS9season 6 . Three years earlier , there were programme to infix a recurring Romulan gang member to thecast ofStar Trek : DS9 in the two - part time of year 3 opener , " The Search " .
Star Trek : Deep Space Nineseason 3 , episode 1 , " The Search , Part 1 " has a turn of first base for the show . “The Search " introduces the USS Defiant , Lt . Commander Michael Eddington ( Kenneth Marshall ) , the Female Changeling ( Salome Jens ) , and also reveals that the Changelings are the mysterious Dominion Founders . DS9 ’s Dominion War timelineofficially starts with the first meeting between the Female Changeling and Commander Benjamin Sisko ( Avery Brooks ) in " The Search " . However , " The Search " almost introduced another recurring character reference that could have been just as authoritative .
Star Trek : Deep Space Nine was n’t suppose to have a spaceship , but Brobdingnagian development in its season 2 finish proved why Sisko needed the USS Defiant .
DS9’s Defiant Was Supposed To Have A Romulan Crew Member
InStar Trek : Deep Space Nineseason 3 , sequence 1 , " The Search , Part 1 " , Commander Sisko return to the station with the USS Defiant . Starfleet ’s first determination - built warship for X , the Defiant was depute to DS9 to provide more material protection from the Dominion and the Jem’Hadar . To better defend itself against the might of the Dominion , theUSS Defiant broke a big Starfleet ruleby having a cloaking gimmick fit . However , the cloak was sanctioned by the Romulan Star Empire , who put their own police officer , Sub Commander T’Rul ( Martha Hackett ) to oversee its economic consumption .
Rick Berman initally resisted the thought of the USS Defiant having a cloaking gadget because it contravene Gene Roddenberry ’s belief that " Starfleet does n’t sneak around " .
Like Michael Eddington , Sub Commander T’Rul was suppose to be another recurring member of theStar Trek : Deep Space Ninecast . However , DS9 ’s producers quickly decided that there was n’t much story potential drop in the character of T’Rul , and quietly overleap the Romulan from the crew of the Defiant . It seems short - sighted thatDS9 ’s producers did n’t see the tarradiddle electric potential inStar Trek ’s first recurring Romulan bunch member , but on the plus side , it give them more space to develop the Eddington character into a Maquis double-dealer .

While filmingDS9 ’s " The Search " , Hackett was bid the part ofSeska inStar Trek : Voyager , which was due to start air out the following year . As a former Starfleet enemy serving aboard a Federation spaceship , Seska deal something in common withDS9 ’s Sub Commander T’Rul . However , Seska was an unremorseful villain , who made life incredibly difficult for the crowd of the USS Voyager during their early day in the Delta Quadrant .

Sub Commander T’Rul inStar Trek : Deep Space Ninehad the potential to improve relations between the Federation and the Romulan Star Empire . DS9excelled at showing the relatable side of some ofStar Trek ’s most infamous enemy aliens , from the Ferengi to the Cardassians .
