Characters
To offset the departure of characters in the series finale a number of new main and recurring characters are introduced. These include The Next Generation's Ro Laren as Security Chief; an Andorian Science Officer named Thirishar ch'Thane (or Shar for short), through whom the reader is introduced to Andorian culture; the 100 year old Commander Elias Vaughn, who has a background in intelligence and black ops (as featured in the TNG / Dominion War crossover novel, Battle of Betazed), as the station's new Executive Officer; his daughter Prynn Tenmei as the Defiant's helmswoman; and Taran'atar, a Jem'Hadar observer sent to live on the station by Odo. Colonel (later Captain) Kira Nerys is shown as the station's new commander.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:
