Summary

In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode, "Favor the Bold," as the war with the Dominion rages on, Starfleet is taking a beating. They're going to need a victory, something bold, something decisive, and Sisko knows just what to do - take back Deep Space Nine. They're running out of time though as the minefield blocking the wormhole is soon to be destroyed.
