The Chrysalians were a spacefaring race . They were a neutral people who, as of the mid- 2360s , had been at peace for ten generations and who were " uninvolved in all interstellar matters of consequence. "

In 2366 , they hired a Betazoid / Human hybrid , Devinoni Ral , to handle their affairs in negotiation for the Barzan wormhole . The Chrysalians felt they had the resources, technology, and science to oversee a wormhole , and Ral was able to secure exclusive rights to the wormhole by manipulating the Caldonians , the Ferengi , and the Federation . Eventually, the wormhole was determined to be useless, but Ral expected the Chrysalians to be understanding due to his previous services to them when he returned to report to them.

Did you know

  • Trivia A sequel to Statistical Probabilities (1997) . Since the plotline revolves around Sarina, who was catatonic in the previous episode, the producers weren't sure if she could handle an episode where she must talk and carry a lot of the story. So they took the unusual step of having her audition for a part she had already played. According to the producers, "the role was hers to lose, but within seconds, we knew she was in."
  • Goofs When Jack climbs over a table in the cargo bay and does a front-flip off of it, there is a quick cut and actor Tim Ransom is replaced by and obvious stunt double. In addition to the physical dissimilarities, when the scene cuts from the long shot (stunt double) to the close-up (Ransom), Jack's arms are suddenly crossed where they had been down by his sides.

Jack : The fact is-is that the universe is going to stop expanding, and it is going to collapse in on itself. We've got to do something before it's too late.

Patrick : How much time do we have left?

Jack : Sixty trillion years, seventy at the most.

Patrick : Oh, no!

Special material as well as a temporary detachment of personnel from your crew has been requested in order to provide unbiased control subjects to test the volunteers' development.

This assignment is unique.

  • Assignment: Provide Raw Materials for Chrysalis Process completed.

  • Critical Success : Resolve , Unscrupulous

  • Failure : Emotional , Founders of the Federation , Honorable
  • Critical Failure : Emotional , Founders of the Federation , Honorable

(Disaster):

(Critical Success): The process has been considered an unconditional success, although considerable additional testing remains to be done.

This assignment spawn probability is based on the rotation of the DOF mission lists.

If the mission is not visible in the DOF mission list ( Current Map, Departments), leave the area, let the map DOF list updates (the counter is in the DOF screen), then try again.

Since the sector update, this assignment has been found in the Algira Sector either between the borders of the Dubhe or the Orias sectors. Be sure to try crossing the border from both sides.

Remember to don't go that far from the border between these two sectors. Going farther might make you hit another of the "virtual boundaries" that will reset your DOF list to the standard galaxy wide DOF list.

As of September 10, 2021, this mission can be found in the center of the Cardassian Sector.

  • Arawath Sector (Northeast Corner), 10 May 2020. Under: Operations Officer > Development .
  • Minos Corva Sector (coming from Betreka Nebula), 01 June 2018.
  • Cadassian Sector coming from Arawath Oct 2021. KEY NOTE: Tried crossing the border to Cardassian sector and mission wasn't there. I logged out in the Arawath Sector and logged back in, THEN crossed into the Cardassian Sector and mission was there under OPS>Development. Logging out in the previous sector and then logging back in and then crossing helps so much at times.
  • Bajor Sector (Checked immediately after exiting Deep Space Nine). Oct 2021
  • Arawath Sector, just past the border from Cardassian sector on the way to Zenas Expanse. Apr 2022.
  • Dubhe Sector , just past the border from Bajor Sector in the middle, oct 9 2022. Under: Current Map.
  • Draylon Sector, at Culver System, OPS>Development, 7. 2. 2023

Star Trek Series Episodes

The crew of Deep Space Nine is about to get a shock when a visitor from the past arrives.

Miles O’Brien’s former love, Dr. Julian Bashir, returns to the station after a long absence, and with him, he brings a startling announcement: Julian has been working with a powerful alien race known as the Chrysalians, and he has come to Deep Space Nine to find a cure for a deadly virus created by the Chrylians.

Julian has been searching for a cure for months, with no success. He believes that the crew of Deep Space Nine may hold the answer to his search — and he is willing to do whatever it takes to find it.

Meanwhile, the Chrylians, led by their leader, the mysterious “Klingon-like” figure, have set their sights on Deep Space Nine as well, and they are determined to get what they want.

Tensions mount as the station’s crew are caught in the middle of a conflict between the Chrylians and Julian’s search for a cure. With both sides unwilling to back down, it’s up to Miles O’Brien and the rest of the crew to find a way to save the lives of the station’s inhabitants, as well as the lives of those on the planet below.

As the Chrylians, led by their leader, close in on Deep Space Nine, Julian and the crew must find a way to work together and defeat the alien threat. With Miles and Julian at the helm, they must use their skills and creativity to solve the mystery of the Chrylian virus, and to save the station from destruction.

With the fate of the station and the lives of its inhabitants in the balance, will they be able to find a way to stop the Chrylians and cure the virus before it’s too late? Will their efforts be enough to save the station? This thrilling episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine will put the crew in a race against time as they struggle to find a way to stop the Chrylians and save the station.
