There are well over 300 characters in the series Star Trek Deep Space Nine (DS9) and that is well beyond the scope of this article. Many of the main characters appear in enough episodes that a very brief description will suffice to help someone who has never watched the show understand who they are, and yet there are many characters that reappear over and over in the course of the series that should probably be touched upon as well. These recurring characters are not as important to the series in an overall sense but are very important to the stories that they appear in.
