No longer deep space, renaming DS9

[JirinPanthosa]

Sisko Station?

I wonder if baseball became popular on Bajor. It’s slow paced enough to appeal to dull Bajoran males.

 

[DonIago]

New Bajor

Hopefully it would fare better than the last "New Bajor"...

 

[Discofan]

Sisko Station?

I wonder if baseball became popular on Bajor. It’s slow paced enough to appeal to dull Bajoran males.

Plus they can make it part of one of those religious festivals they like so much.

 

[kkt]

How about calling it "Quark's Station"?

On the station, it would be the Mine-er Leagues, led by coach Rom. Kira heads the Majors.

 

[Discofan]

What if they kept the name of the Station but changed the title of the series instead.

How about: Adventures In The Gamma Quadrant.

 

[NewHeavensNewEarth]

Lots of good ones mentioned already. A few more:
- GQ or bust
- New Tatooine
- Enter here at your own risk
- Alpha Quadrant Gift Shop
- Space Mutt (Fed-Cardi mix)

Quark's Is There! (Quark hacked the space station naming program)

 

[NewHeavensNewEarth]

It's also curious to me that there were presumably only *8* Deep Space stations in the history of the Federation before Deep Space 9. Was it a title that was seldomly used, or was it reused multiple times? Maybe "Deep Space 1077" would've been too much of a mouthful.

 

[DonIago]

Why assume the stations were numbered sequentially?

 

[Crazyewok]

But the Federation isn't an imperial power.

You keep telling yourself that.

Just because the federation used soft power to expand doesn't make it any less a imperial power.

 

[at Quark's]

I'd rename it OB-1's-KENOBI.

(Orbited Bajor Once, Keeping (an) Eye Now (at) Our Backdoor (for) Invasion (- just to mess with the Doms a bit ... )

Hmmm...guess 4077 would be too much, then.

They were there at the behest of the Bajoran Provisional government. They didn’t just come in and invade once the Cardassians left.

The Space Wheel Of Fortune!

Why assume the stations were numbered sequentially?

That would be my guess: Starfleet has a numbered list of strategic locations outside UFP space where they'd like to have a base, and numbers them according to location.
A present-ish equivalent would be stations at the Legrange points: you might build one at L5 before the one at L1, but number according to the placing not construction order.

 

[MAGolding]

Backspace Nine (BS9).

Or Bajoran Station Nine, which would also be BS9.

Or Cardassia Sentry 9 (CS9)

Or Dominion Sentinal 9 (D9S)

Or Exploration Station 9 (ES9)

Or Friendship Station 9 (FS9) or Far Space 9 (FS9)

Or Galactic Spanner 9 (GS9)

 

[Discofan]

Sisko's place.

(Beware of the dog Odo)

 

[Shamrock Holmes]

Or Bajoran Station Nine, which would also be BS9.

I'd go with Bajor(an Station) One aka BS1 or B1.
