List of episodes
"Apocalypse Rising" is the 99th episode of the television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the first episode of the fifth season. The episode was directed by James L. Conway, and written by Ira Steven Behr and Robert Hewitt Wolfe.[1]
Set in the 24th century, the series follows the adventures of the crew of the space station Deep Space Nine, operated jointly by the United Federation of Planets and the planet of Bajor. In the middle seasons of the series, the Federation is under threat from both the Klingon Empire and an empire known as the Dominion, which is ruled by the shape-shifting Changelings. In this episode, suspecting that a Changeling is impersonating the Klingon chancellor Gowron, the Deep Space Nine crew undertake a mission to expose the impostor. This storyline is a continuation from the events in the season 4 finale, "Broken Link".[2]
"Apocalypse Rising" was seen by about 5.5 million viewers when it debuted.[3]
