Kira Nerys - Backstory

Backstory

Per Bajoran custom, her family name, Kira, precedes her given name, Nerys. She has two brothers and a sister (Kira Reon, Kira Pohl, and Kira Jada), and her parents' names are Kira Taban and Kira Meru. Her family name means "strong woman" in Slavonic.

The back story of the character states that Kira Nerys was born 2343, in Dakhur province, Bajor, during the 50-year Cardassian occupation of the planet. She was raised in a labor camp. Her family were members of the artisan caste. At the age of 12, Kira was recruited into the Shakaar resistance cell, part of an underground movement which carried out guerrilla attacks against Cardassian military and civilians with the ultimate goal of ending the occupation.
