Killing off a minor character in Deep Space Nine season 1 fixed Star Trek's redshirt problem and ensured that death would have meaning on DS9.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT As far back as season 1, Star Trek : Deep Space Nine fixed the franchise's notorious "redshirt" trope by giving death a greater meaning. Risking one's life is part and parcel of Starfleet 's mission to seek out strange new worlds , but death very rarely had lasting consequences in Star Trek 's early days.
DS9 Fixed Star Trek's "Redshirt" Death Problem Star Trek: Deep Space Nine season 1, episode 13, "Battle Lines" is all about death, as Commander Benjamin Sisko and an away team crash-land on a planet where nobody can die. This means that the war currently ravaging the planet will never end.
DS9's Big Season 1 Death Set Up Its First Star Trek Arc Not only did Kai Opaka's death lend "Battle Lines" more gravitas, it shaped Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's first big story arc. DS9 had been designed to better explore the consequences of Starfleet's continuing mission. And so, the story of Deep Space Nine after "Battle Lines" is squarely focused on the political and spiritual vacuum created by Opaka's death.
