Even after it became clear that Odo was sentient, the scientists kept calling him that, giving him the name ' Odo Ital ' ( like a typical Bajoran name ), which was eventually shortened to simply " Odo " ( Episode " Heart of Stone ").

In the Star Trek Expanded Universe, an example of what typically becomes of a new Federation member world's military is depicted when the Bajoran Militia is integrated into Starfleet upon Bajor's entry into the Federation.

During this conflict, Deep Space Nine Commander Benjamin Sisko's superior explicitly cited the Prime Directive, and ordered him to evacuate all Starfleet personnel from the station, as the situation, i. e. a conflict as to what form the Bajoran government would take, was deemed internal to Bajor, and the Federation, it was felt, had no business influencing the Bajorans ' decision in this matter.

He was studied by Bajoran scientist Dr. Mora Pol, whom Odo disliked due to Mora's questionable ( but effective ) practice of inducing pain as a motivator in encouraging Odo to assume different shapes before, and even after, Odo was recognized as sentient.

During the occupation, Gul Dukat had originally enlisted Odo to investigate the murder of one of the Bajoran station workers.

Three Bajoran workers were initially linked to the attack, and Odo, eager to enforce the rule of law and quickly conclude the investigation, hurriedly convicted them and allowed them to be executed.

Odo remains loyal to the Bajoran and Federation people throughout the Dominion War.

In the initial Deep Space Nine relaunch novels, Odo is succeeded as security chief by Ro Laren, who is working for the Bajoran Militia.

During an idle conversation about how the newly opened Bajoran wormhole has increased the number of " new faces " on the station, Quark and Odo observe an argument between Miles and Keiko O ' Brien.

As he leaves the bar Odo gives the man twenty-six hours ( the length of time in a Bajoran day ) to leave the station.

Dr. Mora Pol, the Bajoran scientist who studied Odo when he was first discovered, arrives on Deep Space Nine and tells Odo that he has picked up DNA signatures similar to Odo's on a planet in the Gamma Quadrant.

Meanwhile, Odo has arrested a Bajoran man called Kubus Oak, who has been exiled for collaborating with the Cardassians during their occupation of Bajor.

However, Sarah was actually possessed by one of the Bajoran Prophets ( the life-forms that exist inside the Bajoran wormhole ), who manipulated her into marrying Joseph and conceiving Benjamin.

In " The Wire ", a delirious Garak gave three different and contradictory stories for his exile ; first that he had killed some escaping Bajoran prisoners in the last days of the occupation but in the process also killed the daughter of a powerful Cardassian military official, then that he actually took pity on some Bajoran children and allowed them to escape, and finally that he had been framed for letting Bajoran prisoners escape.

But Sisko and Major Kira assert that since the station actually belongs to the Bajoran people, the Bajorans have jurisdiction.

She visited the Bajoran temple on the station where she was attacked and killed by an alien possessing the body of Gul Dukat who came aboard the station to destroy an Orb of the Prophet.

Shortly after the Cardassians withdrew from Bajor, a Federation presence was established aboard Terok Nor, renamed Deep Space Nine, to assist the Bajoran Provisional Government in rebuilding Bajor.

Enterprise D, and Bajoran Colonel Kira Nerys was field commissioned as a Starfleet Commander so that she could aid the Cardassian resistance during the Dominion War without jeopardizing Bajor's non-aggression pact with the Dominion.

However, Michelle Forbes turned down the role, so another Bajoran character named Kira Nerys was created instead.

As a Bajoran, she has a great dislike for Cardassians, as she was forced to watch them torture her father to death when she was a child.

In some cases, the aliens already look much like Humans-in the Star Trek franchise, in the 133 years before their participation in first contact in 2063, no fewer than six Vulcans spent significant amounts of time on Earth ( though none were " invaders "-three were shipwreck survivors, the other half time travelers, in the company of at least one Human, from a future where their respective worlds were political allies ), and were able to pass themselves as Human simply by using hair or hats to conceal their pointed ears ; likewise the Bajoran Kira Nerys needed only to put a Band-Aid on her ridged nose, while at the same time the Trill Jadzia Dax was able to pass off her natural spots as tattoos.

The Dominion was unknown to the Alpha Quadrant powers until the discovery of the Bajoran wormhole in 2369, which facilitated exploration of the Gamma Quadrant.

" Various Bajoran characters were included in several of the Star Trek series, including Ro Laren ( played by Michelle Forbes ) in The Next Generation as well as a number of others in Deep Space Nine, which was set on a space station near to Bajor, and which featured Bajoran characters such as Kira Nerys ( Nana Visitor ) and Winn Adami ( Louise Fletcher ).

This caused some resentment towards the Federation by the Bajoran people, especially when the Federation was initially invited to administer Deep Space Nine.

The Bajoran Militia was the military arm of the Bajoran Provisional Government, originally made up of many former resistance fighters from the Occupation of Bajor.

When the Bajoran wormhole was discovered, Quark helped broker deals between several Gamma Quadrant races and the Ferengi.

Initially, Kira was opposed to the Federation presence on DS9, feeling that the Bajoran people should have nothing to do with the Federation.

* In the early stages of planning Deep Space Nine, the show's creators wanted to bring in a Bajoran character named Ensign Ro Laren, who was a recurring character in Star Trek: The Next Generation.

While converting the station's old ore processing unit into a deuterium refinery, Chief O ' Brien and Jake Sisko accidentally trip an old Cardassian security program, which was set to put the station on lockdown in the event of a Bajoran uprising during the occupation.

Originally, Quark admired the Cardassian race for their version of morality, but later he seemed to take pity on the downtrodden Bajoran people, selling them food and equipment just above cost, which could have gotten him into serious trouble if the Cardassians had found out.

Quark nevertheless continued to conduct a variety of shady deals while on the station, but neither Sisko nor the Bajoran authorities took many punitive actions against him, perhaps because his contribution to station tourism outweighed the trouble caused by his activities, which were legal according to Ferengi law and, for the most part, harmed no one.

Upon Sisko's first visit to Bajor, the Bajoran Kai, Opaka Sulan, labels him " the Emissary of the Prophets " and gives him one of the Tears of the Prophets, a mysterious glowing Orb that supposedly comes from Bajor's Prophets.

He later visits the spiritual leader Kai Opaka on Bajor, who shows him the Orb of Prophecy and Change, one of several similar orbs believed to be sent by the Bajoran Prophets.

Nevertheless, after four years living among Federation and Bajoran citizens on the station, and possibly inspired by his son Nog's admission to Starfleet ( an action that made him very proud ), Rom left the bar to become a Bajoran engineer.

Two Bajoran vessels approach him and also try to get him to shut down his engines, so they can tow him to safety.

Part of the crew distracts the bulk of the Bajoran forces, after which Li and Sisko capture Krim in an attempt to reason with him.

As a Cardassian, his access codes allow him to travel around the station during the lockdown, which was meant only to contain Bajoran workers, not their Cardassian overlords.

In Behind Enemy Lines, Ro comes to Picard as a refugee on the Bajoran vessel " Orb of Peace ".

In 2370, Jem ' Hadar troops annihilated numerous Bajoran and Federation colonies and ships in the Gamma Quadrant and captured Commander Sisko, as the Dominion demanded the Federation stay on their side of the " anomaly ".

The Bajoran religion involves regular services which are intended to teach the " Will of the Prophets ".

A series of correspondences between the two men show that while Hieronymus was sure that someday his theories of eloptic energy would be proven and accepted by physical scientists, Campbell was convinced that the machines were magical in nature, and that mock-ups of Hieronymus Machines allegedly worked by analogy or symbolism, which directed the user's PSI or ESP powers.

The short answer is nobody really knows for sure .... So just in case I sometimes do a quick check of the old hot-spots when I get off the Peak Chair .." Recent seismic imaging from Geological Survey of Canada employees supported lithoprobe studies in the region of Mount Cayley in which scientists found a large reflector interpreted to be a pool of molten rock roughly below the surface.

In a later commentary on Mr. Gelfius ' testimony, submitted as an affidavit at the appeal stage, Mr. Tony Cafe, an Australian international authority on forensic laboratory analysis of fire debris, stated: " I am sure that most of the world's leading forensic scientists in this field would be horrified if they saw the chromatograms used to convict Kenny Richey.

Nearly 900 scientists and program officials from the EPA make sure that products are properly registered to comply with federal law.

“ The choice of scientists is sure to be the subject of discussion, and experience would suggest that it is impossible to find a group of eminent scientists to look at this issue who are acceptable to every interest group which has expressed a view in the last few months.

Metamorphlings are divided in roughly equal numbers between males and females, while juvenile frogs are observed less often than their mature counterparts, although scientists are not sure whether this is due to lower abundance or increased reclusiveness.
