Kira Nerys - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1550 words)
A Bajoran officer in the Bajoran Militia, she served as Captain Benjamin Sisko's first officer and Bajoran liaison officer on space station Deep Space Nine.
After Cardassia withdrew from Bajor, at age 26, Kira became an influential figure in its reconstruction and the politics of the region, due to her assignment (and holding the rank of major) to Deep Space Nine, and her closeness to Captain Benjamin Sisko, whom the Bajorans believed to be an emissary from the Bajoran Prophets.
Though she is a member of the Bajoran Militia, Kira has been an invaluable help to Starfleet, especially during the Dominion War.
