In April of 2376 a surprise attack from three Dominion attack ship cripples the station, killing hundreds and threatening the fragile new peace that exists with the Dominion. As Kira tries to re-establish order on the station she has to deal with a grisly murder of a Bajoran Prylar called Istani Reyla. Her murder was over an old Bajoran text filled with prophecies from the unorthodox Ohalu sect. Kira is pushed in to the centre of a possible new war with the Dominion, as well religious tensions on her homeworld. It is discovered that the Bajoran Vedak Assembly sent someone to kill the Prylar in preventing her from releasing the Ohalu text to the Bajoran people. Disgusted by this Kira uploads the prophecies on to the Bajoran communication network making them public. This creates a lot of uproar on Bajor but Kira also has to cope with [[Jem’Hadar]] intruders on the station. The Jem’Hadar overload the station’s fusion core and Kira is forced to eject the core, rendering DS9 disabled. She also gains help from a Jem’Hadar called [[Taran’atar]] sent to stop the other “rogueâ€? Jem’Hadar by Odo.

Taran’atar explains exactly what happened with the “rogueâ€? Jem’Hadar to Kira as an allied task force arrives at the station to launch a retaliation against the Dominion. He gives her proof with a message from Odo. Odo tells her that he has sent this Jem’Hadar as a cultural observer and to follow out whatever she tells him, as well to pass a message to the Federation and its allies that they can return to the Gamma Quadrant to explore as long as they don’t violate Dominion space.

A month later Kira leads a joint Starfleet-Bajoran task force to evacuate the independent human colony of [[Europa Nova]] after an Iconian gateway opens in its system and high amounts of theta radiation begins to pour in through it. The task force is successful in evacuating the colonists back to the station and Bajor. At this time too Kira opens up an unlikely dialogue with her former enemy’s cousin, Gul [[Macet]] bloody relative to Gul Dukat. Macet and his vessel assist the allies in evacuating the colony. During this incident Kira alongside her new cultural observer from the Gamma Quadrant, Taran’atar are forced to take their runabout in to the Iconian gateway which is plaguing Europa Nova to prevent a large amount of the radiation from pouring in. They enter the Delta Quadrant to find a [[Malon]] freighter heavily disabled and invaded by a [[Hirogen]] hunter. Taran’atar fights the Hirogen while Kira prepares their runabout to take the brunt of the theta radiation with its enhanced shields. They are successful but only Taran’atar escapes and returns to the Alpha Quadrant as Kira is forced to take shelter on a nearby uninhabited planet. She is saved later by the appearance of another Iconian gateway on the planet’s surface. As she passes through the gateway she finds herself back on Bajor however thrown over thirty thousand years in to the planet’s past and stuck in a battle between waring nations. This incident soon makes her challenge her self doubts of commanding DS9, once again another Iconian gateway opens for her on Bajor and she is returned to DS9 by the help from an Iconian outpost warden. While there the warden closes down the gateway that heads in to Europa Nova and removes the theta radiation from the system. However Kira is unsure if her experience from Bajor’s past really happened or if she was sent a vision from the Prophets.

Soon talks between the Federation and Bajoran Government begin for Bajor’s petition to join the Federation start. A summit is planned to be held between delegates on DS9. Weeks after talks on the station First Minister Shaakar announces publicly that the Bajor’s application to join the Federation has been accepted. However at the same time Cardassia attempts to open peace talks with Bajor but for some reason they are scattered by Bajor’s second minister [[Asarem Wadeen]]. Kira confronts the minister over the termination of the peace talks with Cardassia, who in returns reveals that Shakaar ordered her to do away with the talks. Kira talks to Shakaar who’s behaviour becomes increasingly irregular and uncharacteristic of him. Kira is unable to expose his “change of heart� without putting Bajor’s entry in to the Federation at risk. Talks continue on the station and as Shakaar is about sign the treaty documents he is shot dead by a Trill delegate. The whole station becomes chaos as the assailant flees the station. The [[USS Gryphon]] believes it finds the murderer on a cloaked ship heading for [[Trill]], Kira joins the Gryphon crew on orders by the new Bajoran First Minister Asarem Wadeen. However after Kira leaves the station it is found that in fact Shakaar had been infected with the same [[Parsites|parasite]] who others of its kind attempted to take over Starfleet Command Headquarters many years ago and was stopped by the crew of the USS Enterprise-D. The assassinator is found hiding on the station and informs the station that the parasites’ intentions are to use the Gryphon in attacking Trill. One of Starfleet’s delegates on board the station, Fleet Admiral Leonard James Akaar contacts Kira aboard the Gryphon and explains what is happening. Kira leads a mutiny against the Gryphon’s commanding officer, Captain [[Elaine Mello]] whose XO believes has been taken over by a parasite. However Kira is mislead by Commander Alejandro Montenegro, the Gryphon’s first officer who is the true host of the parasite on the ship. The crew of the Gryphon abandons the ship just leaving just Kira, Mello and several other senior staff to stop Montenegro. During the fight Mello is killed, and hands command of her ship to Kira who is later successful in stopping the parasite attack against Trill. Kira is informed by Trill’s Defence Ministry that the parasites are sworn enemies of the Trill symbiots and are a grave security threat to Bajor and the entire Federation.

Returning to DS9, a huge system wide lockout is put on place of the [[B'hava'el|Bajoran system]] to prevent any more incursion from the parasites. Weeks of testing, examining and security pre-cautions the parasite’s numbers are reduced by Starfleet intervention. However martial law is declared on Bajor as the parasites take over small number of the civilian population. The parasites soon infect a large amount of the Bajoran Militia and begin to take over the government. Kira who returns to Bajor with help from her senior staff finds the mother host and exposes it to the powerful pagh from all the recovered Bajoran Orbs. The mother host is killed and the parasite threat removed from the Alpha Quadrant. Kira’s action also marks the return of her former commanding officer, Captain Sisko. The two quickly find Kasidy, Sisko’s wife who with other members of the Sisko family was taken hostage by the parasites. Kasidy gives birth and is safely returned to the station with the rest of the Sisko family.

Three years passed and Kira continued to prepare her station and crew for the worse case scenario. DS9’s defence force was re-enforced when the [[Fourth Fleet|Fourth Fleet’s]] [[Task Force Nine]] was recalled from the Gamma Quadrant. At this time the Cardassians were invaded by the Borg but were successfully repelled. Legate Garak with a change of heart pledged to assist in the fight against the Collective. A week later and he led a Cardassian delegation to DS9 to discuss an alliance treaty with the Federation. Kira represented the Federation and signed the Federation/Cardassian Alliance with Garak. From that day onwards life at Deep Space Nine became more active then it had been since the Dominion War.

On December 5th Kira would once again represent the Federation as another foe begged for help after being attacked by the Borg, this time the Breen. For the commodore it was becoming an unusual experience having to be “niceâ€? with two former races she fought against. She built up a good rapport with the Breen’s leader Thot [[Hon]] and once again an alliance was made between the Federation and remaining Breen forces. Several Breen ships left under escort of the [[USS Archer]] where Thot Hon would later be taken to [[Earth]] to meet with the Federation Council. For her outstanding work on behalf of the Federation Kira was promoted again to the rank of Rear Admiral. She made overall commander of all Starfleet forces in the Bajoran sector too. The number of ships under her command increased when the [[Seventh Fleet]] arrived to defend Bajor from a possible Borg attack. A day later the 6th December 2385 the Borg soon followed the Breen with three Tactical Cubes were met by the Federation fleet. The [[Federation Alliance]] fleet now stationed in Bajoran space were successful in repelling the Borg assault which resulted in the destruction of two of the cubes and forcing the third to retreat. The allies only lost one hundred and seventy six ships and Deep Space Nine was barely damaged.

By the start of 2396 Kira petitioned for Bajor’s defences to be constantly improved, her petitioned was accepted and Starfleet deployed a massive orbital defence system in the Bajoran system. Kira was praised for her strategy thinking for the good of Bajor as the Borg launched a second assault this time after they had just invaded the [[Ferengi Alliance]]. Once again Kira represented the Federation as the Ferengi pledged to join in the fight to defend against the invaders. Hours after Grand Nagus [[Rom]] arrived at DS9 with nine Ferengi ships four [[Borg Cube|Borg Cubes]] entered the system and began to fight the Federation Alliance fleet stationed there as well as the new orbital defence platforms. The fight wasn’t going well, many ships were being lost and DS9 was receiving a lot of damaged. Kira was about to signal for half of the remaining Federation fleet to retreat to [[Starbase 375]] when the wormhole opened up and out poured nearly four thousand Dominion ships. The fight was a victory for the Federation and their new allies. Kira sat down across to the Dominion representatives and with Fleet  Admiral William Ross and Captain Benjamin Sisko signed the Federation/Dominion Alliance treaty.

Fleet Admiral Kira Nerys

Kira Nerys is a Bajoran whom became an important figure head in Bajor’s restoration period after the Cardassian Union occupied her homeworld. She is a patriot of her heritage and would defend Bajor with her life. She was known for her service as Executive Officer and later Commanding Officer of space station Deep Space Nine. Kira also has a deep sensual belief in the Bajoran faith of their Gods, the Prophets.

She is now holds the position of Commander In Chief of the Bajoran Starfleet with the rank of Fleet Admiral, and resides in the Bajoran capital province of Dahkur.

Contents

Career

Before 2369

During the Occupation of Bajor Kira lived most of her childhood with her father and two younger brothers in a labour camp after her mother was taking away to be a comfort woman on Terok Nor. When she was old enough she was part of the Bajoran Resistance and part of the Shakaar resistance cell. She became quite the tactician after learning everything from her fellow resistance fighters and learning in the field.

2369-2375

After the Cardassian’s withdraw from Bajor the Bajoran Provisional Government was established as well as the Bajoran Militia. Kira was made a Major and assigned to Terok Nor as its Executive Officer and Bajoran Liaison Officer after the Federation came in to administrate the station on behalf of the Provisional Government. For seven years Kira helped Bajor in rebuilding from her position on the base. At first she had some disagreements with Commander Benjamin Sisko, the Starfleet officer assigned to command the base. She soon realised that Bajor needed the Federation and after five years was proud of the work that both the Federation & the Bajorans had achieved for Bajor. Kira became Sisko’s right hand woman and the two became quite close as friends. She like many other Bajorans believed that he was their Emissary. Her time on the station helps her develop her perception on life after the trauma’s she went through from the occupation. She forms close friendships with many of the station’s senior staff and others. Her long time friendship with station’s security chief Odo develops and in 2374 the two become lovers. This is after years of denial from Odo and Kira’s side in regards to their feelings for each other. During the start of the Dominion War Kira is left to represent the Bajoran Government to the Dominion after they capture DS9 from the Federation. However feeling helpless in not being involved with the fighting against the Dominion she leads a resistance cell on the station to thwart the Dominion’s plan of conquering the Alpha Quadrant. Her resistance cell aides the Federation in retaking the station, preventing the Dominion from getting re-enforcements from the Gamma Quadrant and pushing the Dominion in to Cardassian space. In 2375 she was promoted to Colonel and later on in the year (during the) she received a Starfleet commission of Commander and led a small team, consisting of herself, Odo and Garak behind enemy lines to teach Legate Damar and his Cardassians resistance fighters to drive the Dominion out from Cardassia Prime and other Cardassian worlds. Her mission was a success and after the end of the war she returned to Deep Space Nine to bear witness to the Dominion’s surrender. After Captain Sisko left the linear realm to be with the Bajoran Prophets in the Celestial Temple Kira was made commander of the station.

2375-2380

Kira’s command of DS9 brought quite a lot of controversy from Starfleet Command who wanted another Starfleet officer to run the base. However Bajoran First Minister, Shaakar Edon a close friend of the colonel’s reminded Starfleet that the base was Bajoran and knew for a fact that the colonel had the confidence of both the Starfleet and Bajoran personnel assigned to the station. Admiral William Ross backed this up and the matter was quickly dropped. Under Shaakar’s insistences Deep Space Nine is designated the official coordinator of relief efforts from Bajor to Cardassia Prime, with Kira regularly meeting with officials from the Federation, Klingon Empire, Romulan Star Empire as well as the Cardassian Union.

At the same of providing aide to the Cardassians, DS9 undergoes a series of refits and upgrades to the station’s infrastructure and defences. The workload begins to pressurise Kira and many of her senior staff become concerned for her well being as she starts to doubt her ability to command DS9.

In April of 2376 a surprise attack from three Dominion attack ship cripples the station, killing hundreds and threatening the fragile new peace that exists with the Dominion. As Kira tries to re-establish order on the station she has to deal with a grisly murder of a Bajoran Prylar called Istani Reyla. Her murder was over an old Bajoran text filled with prophecies from the unorthodox Ohalu sect. Kira is pushed in to the centre of a possible new war with the Dominion, as well religious tensions on her homeworld. It is discovered that the Bajoran Vedak Assembly sent someone to kill the Prylar in preventing her from releasing the Ohalu text to the Bajoran people. Disgusted by this Kira uploads the prophecies on to the Bajoran communication network making them public. This creates a lot of uproar on Bajor but Kira also has to cope with Jem’Hadar intruders on the station. The Jem’Hadar overload the station’s fusion core and Kira is forced to eject the core, rendering DS9 disabled. She also gains help from a Jem’Hadar called Taran’atar sent to stop the other “rogue�? Jem’Hadar by Odo. Taran’atar explains exactly what happened with the “rogue�? Jem’Hadar to Kira as an allied task force arrives at the station to launch a retaliation against the Dominion. He gives her proof with a message from Odo. Odo tells her that he has sent this Jem’Hadar as a cultural observer and to follow out whatever she tells him, as well to pass a message to the Federation and its allies that they can return to the Gamma Quadrant to explore as long as they don’t violate Dominion space. Kira also gains a new first officer, Commander Elias Vaughn who also aided her in stopping the “rogue�? Jem’Hadar. Kira has a vision from the recently recovered Orb of Memory which explains to her the Ohalu prophecies including one that is directed at the unborn child of Captain Sisko and Kasidy Yates-Sisko. She later reveals to others the location of previously unknown catacombs beneath the holy Bajoran city of B’hala, in which shows the many Bajorans who over the millennia gave their lives to protect the Ohalu prophecies. For punishment in placing her own judgement regarding the spiritual well being of Bajor above the Vedak Assembly the colonel is attainted and cast out of the Bajoran community faith. She starts to feel how difficult her official removal from her faith is on her life. Her responsibilities as commanding officer of DS9 isn’t affected as she approves plan to restore the station by her Chief of Operations, Lieutenant junior grade Nog.

A month later Kira leads a joint Starfleet-Bajoran task force to evacuate the independent human colony of Europa Nova after an Iconian gateway opens in its system and high amounts of theta radiation begins to pour in through it. The task force is successful in evacuating the colonists back to the station and Bajor. At this time too Kira opens up an unlikely dialogue with her former enemy’s cousin, Gul Macet bloody relative to Gul Dukat. Macet and his vessel assist the allies in evacuating the colony. During this incident Kira alongside her new cultural observer from the Gamma Quadrant, Taran’atar are forced to take their runabout in to the Iconian gateway which is plaguing Europa Nova to prevent a large amount of the radiation from pouring in. They enter the Delta Quadrant to find a Malon freighter heavily disabled and invaded by a Hirogen hunter. Taran’atar fights the Hirogen while Kira prepares their runabout to take the brunt of the theta radiation with its enhanced shields. They are successful but only Taran’atar escapes and returns to the Alpha Quadrant as Kira is forced to take shelter on a nearby uninhabited planet. She is saved later by the appearance of another Iconian gateway on the planet’s surface. As she passes through the gateway she finds herself back on Bajor however thrown over thirty thousand years in to the planet’s past and stuck in a battle between waring nations. This incident soon makes her challenge her self doubts of commanding DS9, once again another Iconian gateway opens for her on Bajor and she is returned to DS9 by the help from an Iconian outpost warden. While there the warden closes down the gateway that heads in to Europa Nova and removes the theta radiation from the system. However Kira is unsure if her experience from Bajor’s past really happened or if she was sent a vision from the Prophets.

Soon talks between the Federation and Bajoran Government begin for Bajor’s petition to join the Federation start. A summit is planned to be held between delegates on DS9. Weeks after talks on the station First Minister Shaakar announces publicly that the Bajor’s application to join the Federation has been accepted. However at the same time Cardassia attempts to open peace talks with Bajor but for some reason they are scattered by Bajor’s second minister Asarem Wadeen. Kira confronts the minister over the termination of the peace talks with Cardassia, who in returns reveals that Shakaar ordered her to do away with the talks. Kira talks to Shakaar who’s behaviour becomes increasingly irregular and uncharacteristic of him. Kira is unable to expose his “change of heart�? without putting Bajor’s entry in to the Federation at risk. Talks continue on the station and as Shakaar is about sign the treaty documents he is shot dead by a Trill delegate. The whole station becomes chaos as the assailant flees the station. The USS Gryphon believes it finds the murderer on a cloaked ship heading for Trill, Kira joins the Gryphon crew on orders by the new Bajoran First Minister Asarem Wadeen. However after Kira leaves the station it is found that in fact Shakaar had been infected with the same parasite who others of its kind attempted to take over Starfleet Command Headquarters many years ago and was stopped by the crew of the USS Enterprise-D. The assassinator is found hiding on the station and informs the station that the parasites’ intentions are to use the Gryphon in attacking Trill. One of Starfleet’s delegates on board the station, Fleet Admiral Leonard James Akaar contacts Kira aboard the Gryphon and explains what is happening. Kira leads a mutiny against the Gryphon’s commanding officer, Captain Elaine Mello whose XO believes has been taken over by a parasite. However Kira is mislead by Commander Alejandro Montenegro, the Gryphon’s first officer who is the true host of the parasite on the ship. The crew of the Gryphon abandons the ship just leaving just Kira, Mello and several other senior staff to stop Montenegro. During the fight Mello is killed, and hands command of her ship to Kira who is later successful in stopping the parasite attack against Trill. Kira is informed by Trill’s Defence Ministry that the parasites are sworn enemies of the Trill symbiots and are a grave security threat to Bajor and the entire Federation.

Returning to DS9, a huge system wide lockout is put on place of the Bajoran system to prevent any more incursion from the parasites. Weeks of testing, examining and security pre-cautions the parasite’s numbers are reduced by Starfleet intervention. However martial law is declared on Bajor as the parasites take over small number of the civilian population. The parasites soon infect a large amount of the Bajoran Militia and begin to take over the government. Kira who returns to Bajor with help from her senior staff finds the mother host and exposes it to the powerful pagh from all the recovered Bajoran Orbs. The mother host is killed and the parasite threat removed from the Alpha Quadrant. Kira’s action also marks the return of her former commanding officer, Captain Sisko. The two quickly find Kasidy, Sisko’s wife who with other members of the Sisko family was taken hostage by the parasites. Kasidy gives birth and is safely returned to the station with the rest of the Sisko family.

Bajor finally joins the Federation and Kira is made a Captain in Starfleet as the Bajoran Militia is incorporated in to Starfleet.

Kira’s command of DS9 for the next three years went from strength to strength as Bajor became one of the Federation’s most important members in the rebuilding phase as well as the re-exploration of the Gamma Quadrant. Kira represented the Federation in several first contact situations with races from the Gamma Quadrant as well being the instrument in improving relations with Cardassia.

2380-2388

On May 12, 2380 a lone Dominion attack ship entered the Alpha Quadrant via the wormhole with a Jem’Hadar crew escorting a founder, Odo. Odo came on board the station and informed Kira that he had come to offer lasting peace to the Federation and Klingons from the Dominion. Kira felt that Odo’s offer was genuine and petitioned with support from many others in the fleet for the Federation to accept. Federation officials accepted the offer with open arms however Starfleet was uneasy but accepted a meeting between top Federation and Dominion leaders. The Klingons were less than hopeful, but Chancellor Martok saw the possibilities of peace with the once-hated foe, as well as the inherent dishonor if he didn't accept. Five days later a combined Federation-Klingon task group arrived at DS9 and were escorted through the Gamma Quadrant towards a Dominion starbase. Kira with several members from her senior staff joined the Federation delegates on the USS Enterprise-E. Captain Kira took an important role on behalf of the Federation in the talks due to her relationship with Odo. Many of her colleagues including Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Admiral Ross and Federation President Nanietta Bacco were impressed with her attitude and abilities. She was awarded the Starfleet Distinguished Service Medal as well the Presidential Medal of Serenity.

On their return to the Alpha Quadrant the new Cardassian leader Garak was enraged. He felt that both the Federation and Klingons were turning their backs on the Cardassian people. Starfleet assigned the duty of trying to assure Garak that the new accords would benefit all to Kira. She met with Garak whom she had fought alongside with against the Dominion during the Cardassian resistance. On some levels she was able to get to him but several of his own aides and ambassadors were still outraged. Garak left DS9 still unconvinced what Kira was trying to say to him was truthful. He publicly criticized the treaty when he returned home. Kira felt she had the chance to prevent any damage to Federation-Cardassian relations but she believed she failed the Federation and herself for the first time since taking command of DS9.

For the next two years Deep Space Nine became quite important as first contact was made with several new races from the Gamma Quadrant due to the exploration program setup by Starfleet at the end of the Dominion War. Kira became one of the Federation’s most important representatives as trade agreements and peace treaties with these new races were made. During this time Kira developed her diplomatic skills and was promoted to the rank of Commodore at the beginning of 2382. A few months later and Starfleet Intelligence received confirmation reports of a Borg invasion into Krazzle space in the Beta Quadrant. As many Federation ships went on a round-the-clock yellow alert, Starfleet Command gave the order for all bases to begin upgrades to their tactical defence systems. Deep Space Nine was many bases to receive further refits as well additional ships to protect the station and Bajor.

Three years passed and Kira continued to prepare her station and crew for the worse case scenario. DS9’s defence force was re-enforced when the Fourth Fleet’s Task Force Nine was recalled from the Gamma Quadrant. At this time the Cardassians were invaded by the Borg but were successfully repelled. Legate Garak with a change of heart pledged to assist in the fight against the Collective. A week later and he led a Cardassian delegation to DS9 to discuss an alliance treaty with the Federation. Kira represented the Federation and signed the Federation/Cardassian Alliance with Garak. From that day onwards life at Deep Space Nine became more active then it had been since the Dominion War. On December 5th Kira would once again represent the Federation as another foe begged for help after being attacked by the Borg, this time the Breen. For the commodore it was becoming an unusual experience having to be “nice�? with two former races she fought against. She built up a good rapport with the Breen’s leader Thot Hon and once again an alliance was made between the Federation and remaining Breen forces. Several Breen ships left under escort of the USS Archer where Thot Hon would later be taken to Earth to meet with the Federation Council. For her outstanding work on behalf of the Federation Kira was promoted again to the rank of Rear Admiral. She made overall commander of all Starfleet forces in the Bajoran sector too. The number of ships under her command increased when the Seventh Fleet arrived to defend Bajor from a possible Borg attack. A day later the 6th December 2385 the Borg soon followed the Breen with three Tactical Cubes were met by the Federation fleet. The Federation Alliance fleet now stationed in Bajoran space were successful in repelling the Borg assault which resulted in the destruction of two of the cubes and forcing the third to retreat. The allies only lost one hundred and seventy six ships and Deep Space Nine was barely damaged.

By the start of 2396 Kira petitioned for Bajor’s defences to be constantly improved, her petitioned was accepted and Starfleet deployed a massive orbital defence system in the Bajoran system. Kira was praised for her strategy thinking for the good of Bajor as the Borg launched a second assault this time after they had just invaded the Ferengi Alliance. Once again Kira represented the Federation as the Ferengi pledged to join in the fight to defend against the invaders. Hours after Grand Nagus Rom arrived at DS9 with nine Ferengi ships four Borg Cubes entered the system and began to fight the Federation Alliance fleet stationed there as well as the new orbital defence platforms. The fight wasn’t going well, many ships were being lost and DS9 was receiving a lot of damaged. Kira was about to signal for half of the remaining Federation fleet to retreat to Starbase 375 when the wormhole opened up and out poured nearly four thousand Dominion ships. The fight was a victory for the Federation and their new allies. Kira sat down across to the Dominion representatives and with Fleet Admiral William Ross and Captain Benjamin Sisko signed the Federation/Dominion Alliance treaty.

For two more years the Borg never tested Bajor’s defensives, which allowed Kira to continue improving relations between all the new allies. At the request of Odo four hundred Dominion ships were assigned to the sole protection of Bajor. Because of this new assigned Kira was able to re-structure Bajoran System Defence Strategy allowing more Federation vessels to fall back deeper in to Federation space as Dominion vessels replaced them and helped in the defence of Bajor. Although sceptical at first Starfleet Command soon approved of Kira’s radical plan to replace almost three quarters of DS9’s security personnel with Jem’Hadar soldiers. It allowed those assigned to DS9 to be placed either on Bajor or other Starfleet ships assigned to the Seventh Fleet. It brought both former enemies closer in the fight against the Borg.

In May 2388 a Dominion fleet of four thousand nine hundred and thirty ships entered the Alpha Quadrant via the wormhole and reported that the Borg had attacked Dominion space, destroyed the Founder's homeworld, and ripped completely though their space. Kira who was now made a Vice Admiral ordered all Federation forces in Bajoran space to battlestations. She received a visit from her former commanding officer Captain Sisko a day after the Dominion fleet arrived. He told her he had a vision from the Prophets telling him they had to seal the wormhole to preserve Bajor from the Borg. Kira wasn’t happy in sealing the celestial temple and contemplated the decision with the Orb of Wisdom. She too had a vision from the Prophets who spoke to her saying it was time for Bajor to accept responsibility for itself now and that the Prophets shall never abandoned its children. Starfleet monitoring relays in the Gamma Quadrant picked up twenty one Borg transwarp signatures approaching the wormhole with over four hundred more ships within days of being nearing the Gamma terminus of the wormhole. Kira agreed to Sisko’s plan to seal the wormhole from DS9. The station fired graviton beams at the wormhole, destabilizing it. Then, a probe with protomatter aboard was set off inside the mouth of the wormhole, sealing it. However they weren’t successful in stopping seventeen Borg Cubes and four Spheres from exiting the wormhole. DS9 took the brunt of the Borg assault, Kira remained at her post co-ordinating the allied fleet in the fight. The station soon took heavy damage and was boarded by several Borg drones. The Borg however weren’t successful in assimilating the station as the Jem’Hadar security personnel on the station repelled every single intruder. Kira then gave the order to abandon the station as its shields failed and its weapons were exhausted. The station was responsible for the destruction of seven Borg cubes. Kira evacuated the remaining of her crew on to her flagship the USS Gryphon. During the battle the Gryphon took heavy damage and contact was lost with the admiral. Admiral Darian Chadwick who had arrived in the Bajoran system an hour before DS9 was abandoned on board his own ship the USS Farragut assumed command of the Federation fleet. He quickly ordered for the fleet to fall back to Starbase 375. The Borg ships that hadn’t been destroyed by the fleet were left behind to take on the Bajoran orbital defence system.

2388-2403

With the Borg force destroyed Vice Admiral Kira and her crew were rescued by those allied ships that hadn’t retreated with the USS Farragut back to Starbase 375. The Bajoran system was in a mess, the Borg had destroyed over ninety percent of the orbital defence system before they were annihilated. But no Borg drone stepped on to Bajor. The Bajoran government soon invited those “non-Bajorans�? to settle on Bajor itself. The Bajoran government was soon restructured in to a more republic political state of power. The first Bajoran President was elected and former “first wife�? of the Ferengi Alliance Cara Leeta. Leeta who had been friends with Kira since the end of the Cardassian Occupation insisted that Bajor become a multi-cultural society as it hosted its new residents. She also pushed for Bajor to be a shining example of the Federation ideology. After forming a council with elected representatives from each race residing on Bajor, Leeta with advisement from the Bajoran government and the new Bajoran Federation Council established a Bajoran Starfleet. Many of the Starfleet officers who had survived the last Borg assault agreed that Kira Nerys should lead the Bajoran Starfleet. Kira reluctantly agreed and was promoted to the full rank of fleet admiral. With those ships still left in Bajor Kira ordered for DS9 to be scrapped after it was deemed a “lost cause�?. Those parts that could help in Bajor’s defence were ripped out of the former Cardassian station. Several ships that had survived tried to get to Starbase 375 and Cardassia but contact was lost with them. Seeing as the Borg threat wasn’t over Kira grounded all Starfleet forces. A complete planetary defence network was put in place. Kira soon made her former senior staff from DS9 the senior most ranking officers in the Bajoran Starfleet.

By 2401 Bajor was succumbed to numerous but unsuccessful raids by Borg Remnants. Bajor had built a large fighter wing division which would defend the planet from the pathetic attempts from the Remnants in assimilating the Bajoran homeworld. During the middle of 2401 Bajor was visited by the USS Enterprise-F under the command of Captain Zack Marshall-Bennet. Celebrations took place through all of Bajor as contact was re-established with the Federation. Kira was the first person to meet with the Captain Bennet and explained to him and his crew what had happened to Bajor for thirteen years. Kira was keen to have Bajor re-join the Federation and aide in the restoration of the galaxy after the Borg War (DS1: "The Best Is Yet To Come").

Two years later Kira was escorted by the USS Skedans to Deep Space One where alongside Fleet Captain Bennet they signed Bajor’s re-admission in to the Federation.
