Kira Nerys was a female Bajoran, born during the late 15th century, growing up on Bajor under the control of the Axis of Empires, mostly towards the Cardassian Union and the Galactic Empire, colonel in the Bajoran Militia, following years in the Bajoran Resistance. She served as Bajoran liaison officer on Allied station Deep Space 9 (later as Imperia Nolus) and later assumed command of the station. Kira was integral in the survival of the Cardassian Rebellion against the Axis of Empires.
History[]
Childhood[]
Kira Nerys's origins are somewhat similar to her 'prime' counter part was born in the Dahkur Province on Bajor, and lived a large part of her life in the Bajoran Singha refugee camp. Her mother Kira Meru was taken to Terok Nor to serve as a comfort woman to the Cardassians and Imperials present on Bajor. Nerys would not know the truth until 2374 (1511 NE), at which time she traveled back in time to 2346 (1493 NE) using the Orb of Time. The three-year-old Nerys briefly met her future self but, as she was using the alias "Luma Rahl", the young Nerys remained ignorant as to her identity. After her mother was taken, Nerys and her brothers began receiving better food. Though many Bajorans, including Nerys herself, viewed comfort women as collaborators, her father felt Meru was making a great sacrifice for her family, and often told his daughter that her mother was the bravest woman he'd ever known.
Bajoran Resistance[]
Near the end of the year 2356 (1503 NE), Kira became part of the resistance movement which was supported by the New Galactic Republic, she ran errands, cleaning weapons, and doing various other tasks for the Shakaar resistance cell. When they planned an ambush and required more infantry, Kira immediately saw her opportunity and volunteered for the mission. Although everyone thought she was far too young, Lupaza stood up for her and told her she had the heart of a sinoraptor and that they had no other choice but to accept her help. When Furel made a joke about Kira, Lupaza hit him for it. Eventually, Shakaar himself approved the teenager and she joined the ambush.
Deep Space 9[]
After the Axis withdrew from Bajorl in 2369 (1516 NE), Kira joined the Bajoran Militia with the rank of major and was appointed the position of Bajoran liaison officer on Deep Space 9. She was torn between her loyalty to Bajor and to the fact that she knew that the Federation's and the Alliance of Nations presence were needed to secure her homeworld's safety should the Cardassians return, or worse, the Combine would invade. When she first met Commander Benjamin Sisko, she told him outright that she did not feel the Federation had any business on Bajor, especially the Alliance despite the help and support they gave her people. However, when the wormhole was discovered, she immediately realized the implications for Bajor's future if they could stake a claim, and that the Federation would be able to give that claim weight. While Kira and Sisko disagreed on a number of issues, she eventually became his trusted right arm as second in command of the station.
The major was deceived by Tahna Los, a former Bajoran resistance fighter, who was rescued when his ship was attacked by Cardassians, who claimed he was a terrorist. Kira convinced Commander Sisko to grant Tahna asylum, despite his own misgivings. However, it was soon revealed that Tahna was indeed planning to collapse the entrance to the wormhole in order to drive both the Federation and the Cardassians out of Bajoran territory. Kira was able to thwart the terrorist's plan.
