Starfleet Academy’s DS9 Tribute Returns Jake Sisko and Dax, Uses Licensed Avery Brooks Audio

Producers licensed a past spoken‑word recording to feature Avery Brooks’ voice without a new performance.

Overview

  • Episode 5 has premiered on Paramount+ as a deliberate Deep Space Nine homage centered on Benjamin Sisko’s legacy.
  • Cirroc Lofton reprises Jake Sisko, and Tawny Newsome co-writes the episode and appears as the current host of the Dax symbiont.
  • Avery Brooks did not record new lines for the show, with the production using a previously released track with his permission.
  • The story preserves canon by keeping Sisko’s ultimate fate unresolved in the far-future timeline.
  • The narrative follows photonic cadet SAM, whose emissary role provides a thematic lens to explore Sisko’s impact across generations.
