History
After 2341 when The Bajorian Empire and Cardassian Civil Union began to merge their collective territories into the Unified alliance. Both governments needed a single leader or Governor to act as central leader and spokesperson of their local species/sector in order to prevent possible riots and disorder in the newly massive galactic region. So a common person was 1st selected to act as Intendent of each indivisual region (execept for the Central Controlling Planets, Their planets Intendent would be 1 member of the Ruling Families of the planet).
