Centuries ago, the Supreme Ruler of the planet Jibet fled from a democratic uprising, taking with him many priceless works of art, and now Quark's greed leads Commander Sisko and his crew to Jibet's lost treasures -- and to the Supreme Ruler himself, preserved over the years in cryogenic suspension. The find sparks new unrest on Jibet, bringing an enemy fleet to "Deep Space Nine" TM, and as Dr. Bashir struggles to keep the frail Supreme Ruler alive, Sisko must find a way to rescue the station and restore peace.
