Kira Nerys

Born in Dahjur Province on Bajor possibly in 2343, Kira lived a large part of her life in a refugee camp.  She was often in trouble as she had an interest in annoying adults.  A Cardassian occupation of Bajor affected Kira’s life making her become a rebel and member of the Bajorian Resistance by the age of 12.  After knowing nothing but violence, Kira eventually became a Colonel in the Bajoran Militia.

Nerys came to Deep Space 9 in 2369 as the Bajoran Liaison Officer.  She was very loyal to Bajor and just accepted the presence of the Federation as the federation secured her home world’s safety.  Even so, she did become the Second in Command on the space station as her life skills as a resistance fighter prevented many terrorist acts on the station as she understood how terrorist made plans.

Kira was very loyal to her friends.  She took upon the roll of surrogate mother for the O’Briens when Kieko O’Brien’s womb was injured in a runabout accident.  Giving birth made her want to find out more about her mother who she had been told “died” when she was young.  Kira used the Orb of Time to time travel to find out more about her history.  Time travel became a part of her life as alternative timelines played a role in her life when the USS Defiant travelled back in time.  It was during this time that Odo the Security Officer changeling showed his love for her by preventing her death.  Kira’s love relationship would remain as complex as her travels in time.

When the Dominion took over Deep Space 9, Kira Nerys remained to represent the Bajoran Government under the new Dominion Administration.  Nerys was a tactical thinker and planner who had a knack for problem solving with her early life experiences as a resistance fighter trained in ambush type guerilla warfare tactics. She played a part keeping the station intact and overcoming the Dominion.  Nerys was promoted to Starfleet Commander to help her overcome Cardassian distrust in the Cardassium Rebellion against the Dominion.  She had to put her deep feelings aside to help her childhood tormentors complete the war against the Dominion to restore peace.  As a result of all her lifelong efforts, Kira Nerys became the full time Commander of Deep Space 9.
