  Episode Summary  
The Battle of Chin'toka has decimated the Federation. Of all starships assigned to the campaign, only one survived the Breen onslaught. The Klingon Bird of Prey that did survive has allowed the Federation-Klingon-Romulan Alliance to come up with a partial way of defending themselves. Fortunately for them, the Cardassians have risen up against their former allies, buying Starfleet and the Romulans time to develop defenses agains the Breen's weapons. In an effort to help the Cardassians, Sisko sends his best officer to aid them in throwing off their Dominion oppressors: Colonel Kira Nerys.

  Episode Notes  
It is established in this episode that Colonel Kira's actual rank is that of Lieutenant Colonel. When she dons the Federation uniform and given a Starfleet commission, she wears Commander rank on her neck collar, which is equal to that of Lieutenant Colonel is ground forces rank (A Captain rank in the Navy is equivalent to full Colonel rank in the Army). However, like a Lieutenant Commander who is addressed as Commander, Kira is addressed as Colonel. It is only during formal proceedings when her title of Lieutenant Colonel would be used.
