Just rewatched the beginning of the war arc in Season 6. I was really amazed at who the true heroes of this arc were, the people that saved the Federation and Alpha Quadrant.
1. Morn - He got the message out to Sisko and Starfleet of the mine field being taken down, at possible risk of his own life. Not bad for a guy who has never said a word!
2. Rom - Came up with the designs for the self replicating mines. Which was the only reason the Dominion fleets never made it through to begin with. He risked his life to stay on DS9 when it was taken, and he risked it again to defy the Dominion which led to his capture.
3. Quark and Ziyal - took out two Jem Hadar and allowed the others to escape from the holding cells. Without them the weapons wouldnt have been shut down and even after Sisko had talked the Prophets into taking out the Dominion fleet, DS9 would have destroyed the Defiant.
It is so funny to me that these four arent the four that we would expect. Our heroes that we know and expect to be heroic didnt do a hole lot. Sure they risked their lives flying the Defiant through the lines and straight into the Wormhole....and Kira beat the hell out Damar.
It was cool to see new people that we didnt expect, save the day in this arc!
