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.

Reality, composed thereof. They are
The fictive man created out of men.
