158. The Siege of AR-558

Summary

The Defiant goes on a supply run to AR-558, a body in the Chin'toka system which is the site of a Dominion communications array that the Jem'Hadar are trying to regain control of. The war-weary troops there have lost two thirds of their original numbers, including their commanding officers, and Sisko decides to stay and take charge. Ezri and Kellin are able to reprogram the Jem'Hadar's antipersonnel mines to use against the enemy, but Nog loses his leg in a reconnaisance mission. Finally the Jem'Hadar attack, and the Starfleet side manages to emerge victorious. A ship arrives with troop replacements, and Sisko and his people return to DS9.
