[edit] History
[edit] Early life
Jadzia knew from a very young age that she wanted to be joined, and worked all of her life towards that goal. To prove her value, she earned distinctions in exobiology, zoology, astrophysics, and exoarchaeology. (DS9 episode: "Dax"; ST video game: Starship Creator)
Around this time , Jadzia briefly became engaged to marry a man called Gwyn, her first lover. (DS9 comic: Hearts of Old)
She was eventually joined with the Dax symbiont in early 2367, after the death of the previous host, Curzon. (DS9 episode: "Emissary")
Later that year, she participated in an archeological dig on the planet Pandora, where she encountered a powerful object called the Codex. (DS9 short story: "Chiaroscuro")
Dax graduated Starfleet Academy in 2368 in the 98th percentile. (ST video game: Starship Creator)
[edit] Deep Space 9
[edit] 2369
In 2369, Lieutenant Jadzia Dax was transferred to Starbase Deep Space 9, as science officer. (DS9 episode and novelization: "Emissary")
Several months after being posted to DS9, the Klaestrons attempted to extradite Jadzia for a murder attributed to Curzon, as they believed that joined Trills were answerable to another host's crimes. (DS9 episode: "Dax")
[edit] 2370
In early 2370, Jadzia was disguised as a Bajoran Vedek to infiltrate a meeting of the Chamber of Ministers of the Republic of Bajor with Kira Nerys to tell them the Cardassians were supplying the Alliance for Global Unity with weapons. (DS9 episode: "The Siege")
[edit] 2371
In the summer of 2371, Jadzia helped her friend and fellow Trill Moll Enor when Moll was on trial for endangering her symbiont. (TNG novel: The Best and the Brightest)
[edit] 2372
In 2372, Jadzia returned to Trill when her sister Ziranne mysteriously turned up in a hospital joined to the Roa symbiont. This led Jadzia to a symbiont black market being run by Verad Kalon, an unjoined Trill who had stolen the Dax symbiont from Jadzia briefly in 2370. With the assistance of the Trill Symbiosis Commission, Jadzia found Verad and ended his operation. (DS9 short story: "Reflections")
At the end of 2372, Jadzia Dax was promoted to Lieutenant Commander. (DS9 episode novelization: "The Way of the Warrior")
[edit] 2374
At the beginning of the Dominion War, Jadzia commanded the USS Defiant in a dangerous mission to destroy a Dominion sensor array in the Argolis Cluster. (DS9 episode: "Behind the Lines"; novelization: Sacrifice of Angels)
In 2374, she was married to Worf, son of Mogh, and inducted into the House of Martok. (DS9 episode: "You Are Cordially Invited...")
Later that year, Dax was attached to Project Blue Sky, a scientifically orientated war research project conducted in conjunction with the Romulans. Jadzia and Romulan Subcommander T'Rul attempted to create an enzyme that was supposed to alter the genetic profile of the Jem'Hadar, without success. (DS9 short story: "The Devil You Know")
Jadzia was murdered in late 2374 by Skrain Dukat. The Dax symbiont survived and was eventually rejoined with Ezri Tigan. Jadzia Idaris' body was returned to Trill and buried there. (DS9 episode: "Tears of the Prophets"; novel: Trill: Unjoined)
