January 2018 will mark the 25th anniversary of the premiere of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Variety held a photoshoot today to prepare for what will apparently be some special coverage of the anniversary and some of the cast and and creatives who were on hand shared some preview photos.

The header image was shared by Rene Aubergonois, here is the full-sized annotated image

Main cast members Avery Brooks (Capt. Sisko), Colm Meaney (Chief O’Brien) and Alexander Siddig (Dr. Bashir) were apparently not at the shoot. Nor were recurring actors Andrew Robinson (Garak), Max Grodénchik (Rom) or Rosalind Chao (Keiko O’Brien).
