"Although Starfleet Academy is set in the 3190s, putting it roughly 790 years after the last Next Generation-era series, that doesn't mean familiar folks from Star Trek's past can't show up."
"Starfleet Academy Episode 5 is centered on SAM's (Kerrice Brooks) quest to solve the mystery of Captain Sisko (Avery Brooks), which was created by the end of Deep Space Nine's finale when Sisko ascended into another plane of existence to live with the Prophets of the Celestial Temple."
"It was a needle that we thread very carefully of who would make the most sense within canon, who physically could be this age,"
Starfleet Academy takes place in the 3190s, about 790 years after the Next Generation era, while allowing legacy Star Trek characters to appear when canon permits. Near-immortal figures and long-lived species enable cross-century continuity, including holographic characters like the Doctor and active Trill in the 32nd century. Episode 5 follows cadet SAM investigating the myth of Captain Sisko and includes Deep Space Nine Easter eggs such as a Jake Sisko hologram. The episode reveals Tawny Newsome as the current host of the Trill symbiont Dax, with writers carefully weighing DS9 canon to ensure plausibility.
