Show Description/Introduction: 

When Temporal Investigations arrives on Deep Space 9, Sisko recounts how he and the crew of the Defiant traveled back in time to the 23rd century to prevent the assassination of Captain James T. Kirk during the original Enterprise's mission to Space Station K-7.

"Trials and Tribble-ations" was conceived as a tribute to Star Trek: The Original Series, broadcast to coincide with Star Trek's 30th anniversary. When Paramount asked executive producer Ira Steven Behr to come up with a suitable story to mark the event, he and the writing staff of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine gathered together and began brainstorming for plot ideas. Behr toyed with the notion of harkening back to the episode "Charlie X", since that installment was a favorite of Behr's and because actor Robert Walker – who had guest-starred as Charles Evans in the TOS episode – was still available.
