I am proud to present Deep Space VI! (not to be confused with a different project I have called SpaceVI ಠ_ಠ)

The culmination of a friend and I being Trekkies and VI nerds. *nodnod*

The setting is the Trek universe in the DS9 era, but the characters have all been supplanted with the VI cast, because HEY, AWESOME, WHY NOT? We really did take all specific character and throw them out, trying to make preference for VI character traits and themes within the world whenever possible. I assure you, I am WELL AWARE of any time something doesn’t fully “jive” with either the Trek or VI stories.

Info thus far:

Celes was kidnapped in her youth by the Cardassian Union and underwent surgery and brainwashing at their hands to try and make her an Obsidian Order agent. (as a sort of parallel with her magical augmentation) She grew up believing she was a Cardassian; it was a closely-guarded secret by the Central Command. Legate Leo, a resistance sympathizer, liberated her with Cid’s help as a teen and following reconstructive surgery to help her mentally break more with the past she wanted to forget, she rejoined her people for the remainder of the occupation. She rose through the ranks of the resistance quickly thanks to all her training she underwent for the OO, and following the liberation is a Bajoran General (on par with an Admiral in Starfleet) in the Militia and the Bajoran liaison with Starfleet aboard the station. She is second in command of the station.

Edgar is an Andorian Admiral, and the highest ranking member of Starfleet among his people. He is Fleet Admiral/Commander-in-Chief Banon’s right-hand man. He has command of the station. Sabin is still his twin, and is a Captain and commands the Defiant.

Terra is a Bajoran, and the Emissary chosen by the prophets. Her green hair is exotic among her people and a result of being touched by the prophets upon her birth, She was in a Cardassian prison for much of the occupation, up until Locke’s Maquis cell freed her and returned her to her people. Celes, at her behest, helped organize their interactions with Starfleet following the taking of the station. She is often aboard the station, rather than planetside, and is a major peace-keeping force between the Bajoran and Federation officers aboard the station.

Locke is a Trill, formerly Federation, then Maquis, now working with the Federation with strong ties but no longer feeling comfortable within the uniform and the organization’s confines. His willing separation from the Maquis and rescue of Terra has saved him from a prison sentence, but there are members of Starfleet’s top brass that want him watched, despite Banon’s assertions of his trustworthiness and usefulness. He’s Edgar’s go-to man for information due to his abilities to get around without making himself too known. Celes is begrudgingly thankful for his rescue of Terra from prison and subsequent return to her people.

Gestahl is the senior-most Legate in the Cardassian Central Command, and Kefka is a Gul.

Cyan is a Vulcan and the poisoning of Doma would be paralleled with an attack on their chief ambassadors and diplomats by Romulan spies cutting a deal with Kefka. He is a 3-pip Admiral within the Federation. This puts him a rank below Edgar (who has 4) but above Sabin.

Gau is a Klingon or part-Klingon child who was abandoned at the station shortly after the Federation has taken control.

Setzer is a freighter Captain/trader who constantly tries to wheedle time with the station’s Second-in-Command, Celes. I… actually haven’t thought of a race for him yet. (I’m open to suggestions?) Non Federation-races sound more appealing, since Jidoor was sovereign and separate from the Empire or the Returners.

Gogo is a founder. Possibly one of those sent out by the Dominion who decided not to return to them with information on Solids.

I’ve yet to think of good ideas for the Thamasans, Shadow, and Umaro/Mog. Shadow is obviously some kind of mercenary, but Relm and Strago need to be some sort of planet that’s not really tied all that closely to the Federation, Shadow is either from that planet as well, or Relm is a half-breed (which I ALSO like). No idea on the other two at ALL.

So. That’s what I have so far. /has killed everyone with a giant wall of text that none of them actually care about
