- Paramount Web Page Description
- Sisko builds a new version of an ancient Bajoran space vessel in an
effort to prove the truth behind an 800-year-old legend. According
to the legend, the Bajorans used such ships, which use solar
pressure for propulsion, to explore their star system, even going
as far as Cardassia. After initially declining his father's
invitation, Jake reconsiders and joins his father on the
adventure. But the ship malfunctions, and Jake and Sisko must
regain control before the solar sails tear themselves apart and
leave the pair stranded in space.
