With its blank post stage setting and combination of Starfleet and non - Federation work party penis , DS9was specifically designed to stand apart fromTNG . However , for all their differences , there ’s an interesting similarity betweenDS9season 2 andTNGseason 2 . BothStar TrekTV shows ' second seasons introduce unexampled existential threats to the Federation , that set up major conflict in season 3 .

Star Trek : The Next Generationseason 2 introduced the Borg Collective , who would by and by attack the Federation inTNG ’s thrilling time of year 3 finale , " The good of Both Worlds" . Star Trek : DS9 ’s Dominion were an anti - Federation , who opposed everything that Starfleet stood for .

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Took Its Children Out Of Harm’s Way, Unlike Picard’s Enterprise

After Commander Benjamin Sisko ( Avery Brooks ) fails to reason with the Dominion inStar Trek : Deep Space Nine ’s time of year 3 opener , it has an immediate burden on the station ’s civilian world . InDS9season 3 , episode 3 , " The House of Quark",Keiko O’Brien ( Rosalind Chao ) unveil that the Dominion threat has shut the school , due to the Bajorans evacuating the place for the prophylactic of the planet below . This is in bare direct contrast to how , inStar Trek : The Next Generation ’s time of year 3 finale , the multiple families aboard the USS Enterprise - D were n’t evacuate in the face of the Borg menace .

The closure of the school day was written intoStar Trek : Deep Space Nineto remove Keiko O’Brien from the series temporarily while the writers develop the friendly relationship between Chief O’Brien ( Alexander Siddig ) and Dr. Bashir ( Alexander Siddig ) .

Kids inStar Treklike Jake Sisko ( Cirroc Lofton ) or Wesley Crusher ( Wil Wheaton ) were regularly put at peril because they were being care for by their single parents , who happened to be Starfleet officeholder . Star Trek : Deep Space Ninemade this distinction clear by establishing in " The House of Quark " that the only small fry left on the post were Jake , Nog ( Aron Eisenberg ) and Molly O’Brien ( Hana Hatae ) . Meanwhile , Picard ’s Enterprise inStar Trek : The Next Generationcontinued to put multiple civilian children in trauma ’s room through battles with the Borg and the eventual crash on Veridian III inStar Trek Generations .

Why Star Trek: TNG’s Enterprise Had To Have Kids

Captain Picard was n’t fond of experience nestling aboard the USS Enterprise - D , which begs the question of whyStar Trek : The Next Generationhad so many junior crew members . Picard ’s Enterprise had families aboardthanks toTNG ’s Lord , Gene Roddenberry . In Roddenberry and David Gerrold’sStar Trek : The Next Generationseason 1 bible , the show ’s new approaching to family is explained :

As humankind probes deeper and deeper into space with ten - twelvemonth or longer missions becoming the norm , Starfleet has begun encouraging crewpersons to share space exploration : risky venture with their family . Twenty - quaternary century humanity believe that life should be lived , not postponed .

In essence , the reason thatStar Trek : The Next Generation ’s Enterprise had child on base was because there was a better work - life equalizer in the passive 24th century . Indeed , Roddenberry and Gerrold ’s bible avow that " people postulate people " and having family members aboard will trim the closing off feel by deep space explorers . However , asStar Trek : Deep Space Nine ’s airplane pilot prove , the gist of mislay a loved one during times of conflict are devastating , and a hefty price to pay up for the privilege of having one ’s family on board . It ’s only when the Dominion War begin that Starfleet clearly start to rethink this policy .
