Bajoran Humanoid civilization from the planet Bajor. Bajoran culture flourished a half-million years ago, when humans on earth were not yet standing erect. The Bajoran people are deeply spiritual, but their history also recorded many great architects, artist, builders, and philosophers. Bajoran culture declined seriously during Cardassian occupation in the 24th century, during which most most Bajorans were driven from their homeworld. Bajoran traveled in space at least 8 centuries ago, using Bajoran solar-sail vessels to explore their star system. Some ancient Bajoran space traveler even made it al the way to Cardassia. As recently as the 22nd century the Bajoran society was strictly divided in D'jarras, or caste. A family's D'jarra determined its status in society, as well as what occupation it's workers can hold. Under Bajoran custom, a person's family name is first, followed by the given name. Most Bajoran wear an ornamental earring, a symbol of their spiritual devotion. Bajoran women carry their children for less than five months. Because they have relatively short gestation period, they vascularize very quickly. Mother and child form a complex interconnecting network of blood vessels. Bajoran women often have fits of uncontrollable sneezing while pregnant. In Bajoran childbirth, relaxation of the mother is essential. Participants at the birthing ceremony play rhythmic instruments to help her reach a fully relaxed state. When the child arrives, all present verbally welcomes the child into the world. Bajoran was claimed as Cardassian territory from about 2328. The D'jarra caste system was abolished in the 24th century when all Bajorans regardless of D'jarra was called upon to fight the Cardassian oppression. The Cardassians formally annexed Bajor in 2339, and occupied the Planet until 2369, when Bajoran resistance fighters finally drove them away. A Bojoran provisional government assumed authority for planetary government, led by the Bajoran Chamber of Minister. Also highly influential in the government affairs is the religious Vedek assembly, led by the Kai. Upon departure of the Cardassians, the Bajoran provisional government requested for Federation assistance in operating the Former Space station Terok Nor, now designated Deep Space Nine. After the Cardassian occupation, the Federation Council agreed to provide the provisional government with 2 industrial replicator to help them rebuild their economic base. Bajoran Ships: |
