Bakari is a man who, after his time spent during the Vaadwaur Occupation, has little patience for being anything less than direct. He once told his friend Ayelet Kadosh that "patience is a virtue, and I harbor few of those these days." This directness can come off as aggressive, but he is fair in his treatment of others and fiercely protective of those under his command, especially his fellow Federation resistance comrades.

* '''{{n|Ayelet|Kadosh}}''': A human nurse now residing on Earth.

:Kadosh met Bakari during the Vaadwaur Occupation. Then an ensign, she had stayed with a wing of medical staff to care for the station during the attack while most of the remaining medical personnel had evacuated. She was one of only two medical staff members who survived the initial capture of Deep Space 17 by the Vaadwaur. Mistreated and forced to serve the Vaadwaur by taking care of the Federation prisoners with barely any supplies, Kadosh eventually broke free and was taken in by Bakari's resistance group.

* '''{{n|Sian|Douglas}}''': A human marine who also became part of the insurgency during the Vaadwaur occupation.

:After DS17's liberation through Operation Bright Star, Douglas was promoted to Lance Corporal, although she lost one of her legs and now relies on a prosthetic, though she doesn't let it slow her down.

* '''{{n|Lidia|Ivanova}}''': A human security officer.

:Traveling as fellow passengers aboard the transport vessel, Ivanova and Bakari quickly caught each other's eyes, but fortunately/unfortunately, they discovered they were going to be future departmental colleagues aboard the ''Mercury'', which promptly brought their evening to a close.

Bakari was still a low ranking security officer when the Vaadwaur captured the station in 2387. After the attack and [[Vaadwaur Occupation|occupation of the station]], then-Lieutenant Junior Grade Bakari became the senior officer on the station, a "promotion" that involved witnessing many of his superior officers--his teachers, mentors, and friends--killed or worse. Along with a handful of other surviving Federation personnel, Bakari hid and planned an insurgency. Week by week, they did their best to stall the Vaadwaur's progress, but they were outnumbered and outmatched.

===Post-Vaadwaur Occupation===

After Starfleet retook Deep Space 17 through [[Operation Bright Star]], Bakari was named acting station commanding officer, and most of the DS17 survivors slowly became reacquainted with how things worked again in an ordered Starfleet. Kadosh noticed, however, that Bakari seemed increasingly agitated as that sense of order was rebuilt on the station. That agitation had been building up especially after word had quickly spread throughout the station that the senior staff of the docked [[USS Independence-A|USS ''Independence''-A]] was to take over most of the station's leadership positions.

Bakari briefly clashed with Marine Captain [[Somers, Alexandria|Alexandria Somers]] and her marines from the ''Independence'' on SD 238711.18 as the two faced a civilian demonstration against the presence of the remaining Vaadwaur on the station. The crowd on the station's promenade were quickly swept into a riot that required a response from the combined efforts of station security and the ''Independence'' marines. During this situation, Bakari took note of the attention Somers paid to his concerns regarding the use of an aggressive stance towards the protesters, most of whom, like Bakari and his security staff, were survivors from the Vaadwaur occupation.
