...Yup, that's a captain. I can't really say no to Bajoran/Cardassian with all that going on, but just know it's not going to do him any favors with his crew. 

And YES, DS9 influenced stuff. That's like my favorite series ever, as you can tell by the fact that I kept bumping it on the first page along with all the TNG stuff. =P Also, I'm going to say two more people + me then we can start.

Also Maria, everyone is new because it's a new starship. So yes. And also the whole Cardassian on Bajoran rape thing was addressed in the show, there's a character who has that as her backstory. Pretty legit to me.
