Msafiri Bakari: Difference between revisions

After DS17's recapture by Starfleet later that year through [[Operation Bright Star]], he briefly served as the station's acting commanding officer. He then served as chief of security and second officer until his reassignment to [[Deep Space 10]] in 2390 as a criminal investigator with [[Security (Duty Post)|Starfleet Security]]. Upon {{n|Nia|Calderan}}'s promotion to commander on SD 239112.11 and reassignment as a Federation Ambassador, Captain Egan Manno requested that Bakari take on the role of first officer of the {{USS|Garuda}}. On SD 239204.13, both Egan Manno and Bakari were reassigned to [[Astrofori One]].

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.

Msafiri Bakari was born on 236001.17 in Colony 1 of the Martian colonies. He attended Starfleet Academy in 2378 before receiving his first assignment to the {{USS|Tempest}} in 2382 as a security officer. He was then assigned to Deep Space 17 in 2385.

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.

In 2390, Bakari was reassigned to the {{USS|Mercury}} and [[Deep Space 10]] as part of [[Security (Duty Post)|Starfleet Security]]'s Criminal Investigative Division.
