#ROS generation

I always have to remind myself that Bajor isn't actually canonically matriarchal but rather that all of the interesting Bajoran characters just happen to be women while the men are mostly dull

Women!

MC: Since we're in a relationship now, your clothes are actually my clothes. So don't ask me why I have your shirt on, this is our shirt now.

Mammon: Alright, but when I come struttin’ in with your fuzzy pink socks on I don't want to hear any shit from you.

MC:*grinning* I’d love to see you in my fuzzy pink socks!

There’s probably something to be said about how every Bajoran we see in Starfleet other than Shaxs struggles to fit into the organization in some way.

Sito is top of her class until she gets in trouble for essentially trying to help her friends. Yes she fell for Nick’s gaslighting but for someone from a demonstrably extremely communal “ride or die for your group” culture, of course she was going to try to help them? And then the moment someone shows faith in her and she can stop beating herself up she’s killed.

Celes has crippling self esteem issues and alway thinks she’s doing something wrong. She can’t be much younger than Ro or Leeta or Kira. She grew up under a brutal occupation with no formal education. But the “best of the best” starfleet attitude kinda treats her like our modern public schools treat neurodivergent kids and it really eats at her self worth until Janeway gives her some personal time and attention.

We don’t see as much of Tabor on Voyager, he seems to be adjusting fine, that is until their doctor is ok with using Cardassian Doctor Mengela for research. Sometimes yippe let’s all pool scientific and medical resources don’t fly with everyone.

The big one. Ro Laren. The occupation again. Of course she doesn’t like authority. Of course she doesn’t like hierarchies. Of course she doesn’t like being asked to remove a cultural effect. Of course she will make sure you get her damn name right. But she still tries to power through it anyway, still tries to make Picard proud of her.

And then Starfleet is incompatible with her personal morality and she just can’t continue. She has to do what she believes in.

And finally, Kira Nerys.

The reasons why things are difficult for her in the time she’s wearing a Starfleet uniform and acting as a Starfleet officer are unrelated to Starfleet, that’s just a mechanism. But Bajor’s going to join the Federation eventually, and in the novels does (DS9: Unity). Nana Visitor herself has said that Kira in Starfleet would be the perfect dramatic challenge for her. She already had issues being part of “the system” for her own planet’s government, having to play ball with Starfleet as Starfleet? Daunting, to say the least.

I don’t remember her name but there’s a Bajoran officer who joins the USS Discovery crew in the 32nd century, and she seems to be handling just fine, so there is progress… eventually.

That Shaxs is able to fit in just fine is honestly quite unusual.

Is there multiple persons that R can get with, is it gonna be any of MC’s RO

R isn't interested in any of the ROs outside of M in a twisted "you're my mirror and I could fuck you about it" kind of way

there are a couple side characters they could be interested in however if things between them and mc blow up.

STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION // S5E3 Ensign Ro You see, Captain... When I was seven years old, I was given a piece of sugar candy. And I was led by a Cardassian into a room where my father was sitting. And he looked at me with eyes I'd never seen. The Cardassian began to ask him questions, and during the next two hours, as I was forced to watch, my father was tortured until he died. And I remember feeling... so ashamed of him as he begged for mercy. I was ashamed of him for being weak. I was ashamed of being Bajoran. Later I began to understand how misguided those feelings were and... And yet somehow they remained a part of me. I don't want to be ashamed of my heritage anymore, Captain. I served the Federation, but I am Bajoran. A Starfleet admiral presented me with an opportunity to help my people in their fight against the Cardassians. I had to accept.
