( Star Trek: Discovery: 'Die Trying') Appearances The USS Nog (an Eisenberg-class starship, named after actor Aron Eisenberg, who played Nog and had recently died) is stationed at Federation headquarters. In the 32nd century, Starfleet has named a starship after Nog. One of Sisko's final acts before joining the Prophets is to promote Nog to the rank of lieutenant junior grade ( DS9: ' What You Leave Behind'). Nog chooses a holosuite simulation of a Las Vegas nightclub as the place to recuperate from his trauma and adjust to using an artificial limb, living in the holosuite until the simulated nightclub singer Vic Fontaine forces him to leave (' It's Only a Paper Moon'). Although a biosynthetic leg is grown for him to replace the amputated one, after months of therapy Nog still feels phantom pain in his new leg. In the height of the Dominion War, Nog loses his leg due to a battle injury (' The Siege of AR-558'). Nog receives a commission as ensign shortly before Starfleet retakes Deep Space Nine during the Dominion War (' Favor the Bold'). As a cadet, Nog works mainly under chief of operations Miles O'Brien. Upon returning to the station, he and Jake become roommates.

Starfleet assigns Nog to Deep Space Nine as part of his cadet field training (' The Ascent'). Although Sisko takes considerable convincing that this young Ferengi is serious in this uncharacteristically unprofitable ambition for his species, Nog is admitted with his recommendation and becomes the first Ferengi in Starfleet (' Facets'). He requests a recommendation from Commander Benjamin Sisko to be admitted to Starfleet Academy (' Heart of Stone'). Recognizing his father's failure to capitalize on his proficiency in mechanics and electronics, and not wanting to follow in those footsteps, Nog resolves to go into a career where he can make something of himself. When Rom, under pressure from Quark and Grand Nagus Zek, pulls Nog out of school, Jake tutors him without Rom's knowledge (' The Nagus'). In the first seasons of DS9 he is, though reluctantly, one of the first students in Keiko O'Brien's school. Throughout the course of the series, Nog befriends Jake Sisko. This time is depicted in DS9, and Nog is characterized as being very mischievous and a slight delinquent.

Later, he moved with his father to Deep Space Nine and worked at his uncle Quark's bar. In the Star Trek universe, Nog was born to Rom and Prinadora on Ferenginar in 2353.

Nog is the main character in the episode ' It's Only a Paper Moon', which was noted for exploring his recovery from post-traumatic stress disorder. Episodes of the series often paired Nog with Jake. He is the nephew of the Ferengi bartender Quark, a major character on the series the son of Quark's brother Rom and a close friend of Jake Sisko, the son of Deep Space Nine 's protagonist Benjamin Sisko. A member of the profit-driven alien species known as the Ferengi, he becomes the first Ferengi to join Starfleet. Nog, played by Aron Eisenberg, is a recurring character on the science fiction television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine ( DS9).
