Jadzia Dax is a joined Trill. Dax is a fictional entity on the television show Star Trek Deep Space Nine. "Jadzia" is the name of the young Trill woman, while "Dax" refers to a slug-like symbiont that resides in her abdomen. While Jadzia is only twenty-eight years old at the beginning of the series, the creature Dax is hundreds of years old, having previously been hosted by seven previous Trill. As a result, Dax may be considered the oldest crewmate on Deep Space Nine.

Prior to Jadzia, the Dax symbiont had been hosted by Lela, Tobin, Emony, Audrid, Torias, Joran, and Curzon.

The burden of seven lifetimes' worth of memories is not always a positive one; several episodes of Deep Space Nine focus on Dax's struggle with her dual nature:

Romantic Interests

" Looking for par'Mach in All the Wrong Places " is an episode of Star Trek Deep Space Nine, the third episode of the fifth season This is resolved by the end of the episode, with Quark ironically winning the heart of Grilka, and Worf becoming romantically involved with Dax.

In the fictional Star Trek universe the Prophets, also known as Wormhole Aliens, are non-corporeal beings who inhabit the artificially constructed Bajoran wormhole It now appears a pregnancy will be possible. The Cardassian Dukat arrives, possessed by a Pah-wraith, with the intention of destroying the orb-like Bajoran artifacts known as the Tears of the Prophets.

Upon her death in the infirmary, an agonized Worf screams out a Klingon wail of sorrow for his beloved. Her untimely death shakes the crew to its core: by the beginning of the season 7, Sisko has left the station in despair, and Worf has been risking his life on increasingly dangerous missions.
