Biography

Kira Nerys (of which the first name, in accordance with the habit Bajoran E, is placed after family name) was born into 2343 in the province from Dahkur on the planet Bajor. Whereas its childhood and its adolescence should have been placed under the sign of arts since its family belongs to the former caste of Ih' valla Of will jarra (what, before the occupation cardassienne, would have led it to follow an artistic career like all its ancestors before it), Nerys passes the beginning of its life under the domination of the Cardassien S which invaded its native planet, ransack the richnesses of them and exploit some or the inhabitants massacre some.

Installed after a fashion in company as of his within the refugee camp of Singha, the young girl is quickly separated from her mother, Kira Meru. Cardassiens having done everything to scramble the few tracks which could have made it possible Bajorans survivors to precisely know what had become their close relations, Nerys supposed a long time that Meru had simply died of malnutrition but this one was initially forced to become one of the mistresses of Gul Dukat. Being his/her father, Kira Taban, it is not long in disappearing in its turn.

Revolted by the situation of its people, Kira Nerys is only 12 years old when it decides, under the influence of his/her friend Lorit Akrem, to join the cell of resistance which was constituted around Shakaar Edon. As an active member of the Network Shakaar, it thus fights consequently for the independence of Bajor. It is thus charged with obtaining a list comprising the names of recognized collaborators. Held by Vaatrik, the pharmacist bajoran of the mining orbit station NOR Terok , this document cannot however be recovered without damage and the resistant one is forced to kill its owner when this last surprises it excavating its dispensary. Immediately suspectée of the murder, she is cleared by it in all bona fide by Odo (put in the obligation to exert the functions of chief of safety on behalf of the administrators cardassiens of the station). In 2357, Kira forms then part of the liberators of the camp of Gallitep whose it sinister notoriety is due to the number of Bajorans which succumbed to it.

Twelve other years later, Kira Nerys, promoted with the rank of major, is affected on Terok Nor (renamed Deep Space Nine ) in the capacity as liaison officer between the provisional government of Bajor, which has been just released from the yoke from its occupants, and the Plain Fédération of the Planets come to contribute to the rebuilding of its native world. Initially, this situation is all the more unpleasant to the young woman that this one is fundamentally opposite with the policy options of the government which entrusted this station to him. When the Trou of worm (or “vortex”) driving to the Quadrant Gamma is discovered into 2369, she learns nevertheless via Kai Opaka (whose knowledge as regards religion makes authority near all its compatriots) that the Prophètes wish to see it cooperating as much as possible with Benjamin Sisko.

If its youth offered few occasions to him to let itself go to tender feelings towards whoever, Kira Nerys falls nevertheless under the charm from the Vedek Bareil Antos into 2370 and remains its mistress until the acidentelle disappearance of the monk bajoran the following year. Little time afterwards, it finds Shakaar Edon under the indirect orders of which it fought a few years earlier. When the former chief of resistance, become Prime Minister of Bajor, goes on DS9 into 2372, major Kira starts with him an love affair which lasts until 2374.

Shakaar is however not the father of the child whom Nerys between 2372 and 2373 carries. This pregnancy was indeed caused by an accident of shuttle after which the doctor Julian Bashir had to establish urgently the baby of Miles and of Keiko O' Brien with the only potential surrogate mother being then at its sides. Installed near the couple until the moment of the birth in accordance with the wish of Keiko, Kira Nerys cannot be prevented from conceiving towards Miles of tender feelings which the technician as a chief is not far from dividing. The two officers are however of agreement not to look further into such a relation and the arrival in the world of small the Kirayoshi puts a term at this ambiguous situation. With end of the year 2374, major Kira, who is not unaware of any more passion that it inspires with the constable Odo, ends up yielding to its own inclinations and becomes the partner of the métamorphe.

In the Universe Mirror that the nationals of the Quadrants Alpaha and Bêta on several times the occasion to visit, Kira meets moreover its alter ego (which is not other than the cruel intendant woman of Terok Nor ) and the sulfurous charm of the latter does not seem to leave it indifferent.

The conflict against the Dominion and the multiplicity of alliances which it generates provides the occasion to Kira Nerys to give the full measurement of its courage and its determination. Between 2371 and 2375, it is shown thus able to analyze each political change with a rare objectivity, going until " associer" with some of its former enemies cardassiens when it understands that the interest of its compatriots and its close relations lies in such a co-operation. In 2375, it assists Damar thus when this one takes the head of the dissidents who undertook to undermine interior alliance between the Empire Cardassien and the Dominion, pushing courage until going on Cardassia Prime where it is captured. She escapes from it from accuracy from a summary execution.

The war against the forces resulting from the Quadrant Gamma hardly finished, the major leads itself Odo on planet of the Fondateur S where it has to join the Great Bond (or “Great Link”) in order to learn with his similar how to live in peace with the remainder of the Galaxy.

It regains then the station Deep Space Nine of which it takes the command with the rank of colonel of the forces bajoranes.
