"Tears of the Prophets" is a sixth season episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine first broadcast on June 17, 1998.
In this episode, it is decided that Captain Sisko will be responsible for planning the first steps in the assault on the Dominion forces in the Alpha Quadrant, after he has been bestowed with the 'Christopher Pike Medal of Valor'. Sisko is warned by the Prophets not to go, but does – allowing Gul Dukat, inhabited by the Pah Wraiths, to render all orbs black and useless using the station's orb and sealing the wormhole. Unfortunately, Jadzia Dax shows up in that place at that time and the wraith possessing Dukat kills her. The initial assault on the Dominion takes place in the Chin'toka system and is successful. For a more detailed explanation of the battle see the article on the Chin'toka system. Feeling that he has failed both the prophets and Starfleet, Cpt. Sisko returns to his father's restaurant on earth.
