"Once More unto the Breach" is the 157th episode of the television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the seventh episode of the seventh season. This episode received a Nielsen rating of 4.5 when it was broadcast on television in 1998.[1]
Set in the 24th century, the series follows the adventures of the crew of the Starfleet-managed Bajoran space station Deep Space Nine; the later seasons of the series follow a war between the United Federation of Planets and an empire known as the Dominion. This episode focuses on the Klingons, an alien species introduced as enemies of the Federation in Star Trek: The Original Series, but now allied with them against the Dominion; in the episode, the elderly Klingon warrior Kor hopes for a chance to end his life with dignity by serving honorably in the war.
The episode featured John Colicos reprising his role as Kor; J. G. Hertzler in his recurring role as the Klingon General Martok; and Neil C. Vipond, Nancy Youngblut, and Blake Lindsley in supporting roles.
