Kira Nerys

Kira Nerys was an officer in the Bajoran Militia following the Occupation of Bajor.Kira and her brothers were often cared for by Tir Ramara a woman Taban took into the family after her own family were killed by the Cardassians. The Kira family received extra rations to compensate for Meru being taken to Terok Nor to serve as one of Skrain Dukat's comfort woman. When Tir Ramara found out about these extra rations (but not why the family was receiving them) she stole them and gave them to the resistance to be given to those more needy. When Taban caught her she accused him of being a traitor and ran away. The Kiras were subsequently forced to give up their additional rations to avoid being hounded as collaborators. Nerys held this against Tir for years to come.Growing up, Nerys learned about the Bajoran Prophets from close family friend Prylar Istani Reyla. This was beginning of Kira's life-long faith in the Prophets and in their love of the Bajoran people.Kira joined the Shakaar Resistance Cell when she was only twelve, and spent most of her early time with the cell running errands and cleaning weapons. In 2357, just after her fourteenth birthday, Nerys and the Shakaar cell liberated the labor camp at Gallitep before the now-depleted mines laborers could be slaughtered by Gul Darhe'el, the Cardassian overseer. Nerys and her cell accomplished this infiltrating the Bajoran science ministry and accessing their transporter system, allowing the cell to bypass the camp's formidable security system and later transport the Bajoran laborers out. While at the ministry, Nerys managed to destroy the files on a prototype defense system that would allow the Cardassians to track and destroy any unauthorized Bajoran air-traffic.In 2366, she snuck aboard the quarantined space station Terok Nor to gather information on the Double Helix virus that was infecting the station. She later asssisted the Starfleet medical team, which was allowed to travel to the station by the station's Prefect, Gul Skrain Dukat, by finding the source of the virus on the surface of the planet Bajor.In 2367, she infiltrated the Plin Syndicate criminal organiztion at the Doblana Arctic Base on Bajor in order to kidnap Cardassian Glinn Gundar. The operation cost the life of Kira's brother, Kira Reon, whose sacrifice gained the resistance a chip which enabled them to moniter all Cardassian communications on Bajor.During the occupation she fought in the Bajoran Resistance. She served as Bajoran liaison officer to Starfleet on the Federation-administered station, Deep Space 9. In 2375, she was given command of the station following the disappearance of her predecessor.In 2372, Kira greeted Captain Jeri Allston and Commander Jonathan Masters when their ship docked with the station following the First Battle of Deep Space 9.Kira was placed in temporary command of Deep Space 9 after Captain Benjamin Sisko took leave following the First Battle of Chin'toka. Childhood Kira Nerys was born in the Dahkur Province on Bajor and lived a large part of her life in the Bajoran Singha refugee camp. In 2346, her mother Kira Meru was taken to Terok Nor to serve as a comfort woman to the Cardassians. At three years old, she was too young to understand this, and Kira Taban, her father, told his children that Meru had died. Nerys would not learn the truth until 2374. 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.Nerys often got into trouble as a child because of her interest in annoying the adults. However, the Cardassian occupation of Bajor had affected every aspect of Nerys' life, and led her to join the battle for liberation. In 2369, Nerys told Kai Opaka that she had known nothing but violence since she was a child. Bajoran Resistance She began her association with the Bajoran Resistance at age thirteen, when she ingratiated herself in the base camp of resistance leader Shakaar Edon.By the end of the year 2356 Nerys was running errands, cleaning weapons, and doing various other tasks for the Shakaar Resistance Cell. When they planned an ambush and required more infantry, Nerys 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 Nerys, he was hit by Lupaza for doing so. Eventually Shakaar himself approved the teenager and she joined the ambush. First mission The ambush was her first mission, one she would never forget. She was scared, cold and kept biting her fingers to keep the blood flowing while the group waited on a mountain ridge. She was most afraid that one of the other Shakaar members would notice her doing so. After three or four hours, the skimmer they were waiting for appeared. When the hatch opened and the first Cardassian emerged, she opened fire and kept shooting until the power cell was empty. When it was all over, she was giddy, grinning and relieved that she had not let anyone down. Later, Lupaza crafted a Bajoran earring out of some of the metal of the destroyed skimmer, which she gave to the younger Bajoran. Nerys would wear the adornment throughout the rest of her life.Having proven herself, Kira Nerys was now regarded as a member of the Bajoran resistance.In another mission Kira planted a bomb outside the house of Gul Pirak, the resulting explosion vaporized the east wing and killed twelve Cardassians, including Pirak's entire family. Twenty-three others were crippled, including Silaran Prin. After the Dominion War Following Bajor's entry into the Federation the Bajoran Milita was absorbed into Starfleet and Kira was given the rank of captain.In 2377 stardate 54973.4 Kira started to date Typhuss James Halliwell and became engaged a week later.On January 7th Kira married Typhuss James Halliwell aboard Deep Space Nine.In 2379 their first child,Hoshi Sato Nerys, was born. Later that year, Kira fought in the Federation-New Republic War, which was fought for 10 months. In the closing days of Federation-New Republic War, Kira fought in the final battle, the Battle of Tyra. A few months later the Xindi and the Suliban attacked the Federation, forming the Xindi-Suliban Alliance. Members of the Xindi-Suliban Alliance are the Xindi-Reptilians, the Suliban, the Xindi-Insectoids and the Xindi-Aquatics. In 2383, a Federation fleet led by Captain Typhuss James Nerys destroyed the Xindi fleet and starbase inside the Briar Patch.The Xindi later betray their peace treaty with the Federation with an attack on the Federation and their allies, including Deep Space Nine. 50 starships, led by the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-E, make the Suliban fleet retreat from Deep Space Nine. The Breen attack the Federation colony on Jestra V, signaling their entry into the Xindi-Suliban Alliance.The Federation and their allies have been fighting the Xindi-Suliban Alliance since 2379.
