DS9’s Garak Imagines A Starfleet Career Just Like Seven of Nine’s in Star Trek: Picard

Garak Wants To “Go Straight To Commander” Just To Outrank Worf

The vocation trajectory thatStar Trek : Deep Space Nine ’s Garak imagines for himself as a Starfleet ship’s officer is astonishingly exchangeable toSeven of Nine ’s Starfleet careerinStar Trek : Picard . After using Worf and Nog as examples of non - Federation citizens who successfully conjoin Starfleet , Worf reluctantly admits a Cardassian in Starfleet might not be that unusual . Satisfied with that response , Garak run on to suggest that he might " skip the lower ranks and go direct to Commander",which is just how Commander Seven of Nine became First Officer of the USS Titan - A.

Star Trek ’s first Klingon episode laid the fundament for Lt . Worf to join Starfleet by the fourth dimension of Star Trek : The Next Generation .

Of course , Garak is only kidding about wanting to fall in Starfleet , whereas Seven of Nine ’s design was literal . Garak is good enough at mix prevarication with truth that Worf really believes Garak want to join Starfleet , until Garak admits he ’s just messing with Worf . It ’s just feasible enough thatGarak ’s years of experience with the Cardassian Obsidian Order might actually stipulate Garak for an advanced rank in Starfleet , if Garak were really being honest about wanting to get together . The fact that Seven of Nine ’s years with the Fenris Rangers let her skip several Starfleet ranks support that .

The next two decades changed both Starfleet ’s indigence and public opinion toward the Borg . The2385 synth attacks on Marsspread Starfleet ’s resource thin than ever . More former drone were de - assimilated duringStar Trek : Picard ’s first time of year , making Seven of Nine less of an anomalousness in the Alpha quarter-circle . By joining Admiral Picard ’s La Sirena squad , Seven of Nine proved she was n’t the financial obligation that made Starfleet reject her initial , Janeway - patronize app . The circumstance made it possible for Seven of Nine ’s Starfleet career to really resemble what Garak envisage as a joke inStar Trek : Deep Space Nine .
