The mining station Terok Nor in orbit of Bajor is abandoned during the Cardassian retreat. The Bajoran Provisional Government requests Starfleet assistance in maintaining the station, and it is renamed Deep Space 9. The Enterprise-D arrives to offload personnel and equipment.
Shortly afterwards, Commander Benjamin Sisko and Lieutenant Jadzia Dax discover the Bajoran wormhole, the first stable wormhole known to exist. Sisko makes direct contact with the Prophets, becoming the Emissary of the Prophets as prophesied in ancient Bajoran mythology. The Wormhole leads to a completely unknown galaxy on the opposite side of the Laniakea supercluster, so far that it was previously unobserved from the Milky way and vice versa.

A Cardassian funded Bajoran Isolationist Extremist movement called The Circle fails in its attempted coup of the Provisional Government which, combined with the vocal support of the major Bajoran spiritual leader Kai Opaka, convinces Starfleet that Bajor is stable enough to found a dedicated Exploration Command for the new galaxy based in DS9.
The newly formed "Trans Laniakea Object Exploration Command, 1st Squadron" arrives at DS9
