27 years after the Deep Space Nine finale, Starfleet Academy just solved one of Star Trek’s longest-running mysteries

Robert Picardo as the Doctor and some cadets in Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.

The latest Star Trek show, Starfleet Academy, just aired its fifth episode. Titled 'Series Acclimation Mil', it offered a surprising follow-up to a mystery that fans have been pondering for almost 30 years.

The episode follows Sam (Kerrice Brooks), the first Kasqian (a sort of sentient hologram) to attend Starfleet Academy. Sam has been assigned the task of being Kasq's emissary to the Federation, with one of her roles being to try to explain organic life to her creators. As part of this mission, she decides to study another emissary: Captain Benjamin Sisko, the lead character from beloved '90s Star Trek show, Deep Space Nine.
