Not everyone. Kai Winn, for whom you have a soft spot, had a raging boner at the prospect of going back to a caste system. Presumably that Bajoran who casually murdered someone for not accepting their place as an Untouchable was cool with it too.

Whoa now, I am no Kai Winn apologist!

I have to confess though I do have a soft spot for Kai Winn. She survived the Occupation. All kinds of Bajorans made choices they are not proud of. And how much did Kai Winn actually help? Was she a hero in the Occupation?

It's actually discussed that Kai Winn bribed officials to save Bajorians.

You can't pull rank on murder.

Their caste system also sucked from a pragmatic point of view. It's not like in Battletech where you default to a caste based on lineage but if you don't work out or show aptitude for something else you get reassigned.

A real hellraiser


Watching DS9 and Voyager and there's a couple of Bajoran characters that have showed up that seem pretty cool. One is Seska, she is kind of a spitfire and doesn't get along with Starfleet as fast as the other marquis. She seems to have a good skeptical and pragmatic head on her shoulders. And finally another lady for Torres to talk to.

The other I can't remember his name, but he just met Kai Winn and he's just a simple man of the land. Seems really laid back and chill, I think he might be able to chill out Winn a little with this romance that seems to be developing.

Can't wait to see what happens with both of these characters

Surviving the occupation doesn't mean she gets a free pass to be a real piece of poo poo for the rest of her life.

The first time we see her she religiously guilts a woman into blowing up a school and murdering a maintenance dude, all the name of setting up an attempted assassination of a political rival.

The second time we see her she agrees to support a military coup expressly to further her own power

The third time we see her she grants clemency to a nazi cardassian occupation sympathizer to spread rumors about a political rival

I am not defending Kai Winn, friend. Just trying to understand her.

winn didn't really interact with dukat much. though, i'm sure he made a lot of global broadcasts while he was running the occupation. that's probably most of what he did during that time, actually.

For it to really be Bajoran at least one civil war needed to be averted sometime during its production.
