    Sisko had an engineering background. After all, he was a part of the team that developed the Defiant class ship.

      I… somehow didn’t know that. Thank you kind internet stranger-friend!

      Now I’m wondering what Kirk and Picard did before they were in command positions…

      I always assumed he was involved in some sort of supervisory role but he this makes a lot of sense. My new headcannon is that he’s the reason they stuffed such an overpowered engine in it because he wanted to see if it was possible.

      Iirc, he was the project manager. The real engineers probably let him fool with interior lighting to keep him happy and away from critical systems….

      They weren’t entirely successful.

        He might have been an engineer unlucky enough to be promoted to project manager
