Backstory

Kadosh was part of the station's medical department when it was captured by the Vaadwaur in 2387. When the particular medical facility she'd been working in was overwhelmed by Vaadwaur, several of the doctors and nurses were slaughtered outright by the soldiers. Kadosh and a few others were kept alive to take care of the captured prisoners.

One of the Vaadwaur guards, however, developed an uncomfortable interest in Kadosh. Though she was prepared to defend herself, she was fortunately rescued by Msafiri Bakari, who delivered a rather unfortunate end to the guard. Bakari took her back to his holdout where he and a handful of Federation personnel, several of whom would not survive to see Starfleet retake the station, hid and planned an insurgency. Week by week, they did their best to stall the Vaadwaur's progress, but they were outnumbered and outmatched.

Kadosh hadn't known Bakari, a low ranking security officer, before the occupation, but she soon saw how protective he had become over the survivors who remained on the station. For a lieutenant junior grade like Bakari to become the senior officer on the station meant that he had witnessed many of his superior officers--his teachers, mentors, and friends--killed or worse. He promised those whom he saved that they would not be abandoned, but two months into the occupation, he had confided to Kadosh one night that he felt Starfleet had abandoned them all to face death alone.

After Starfleet retook Deep Space 17 through Operation Bright Star, Kadosh was promoted from ensign to lieutenant junior grade for her service to her fellow officers during the station's occupation. She and Bakari remained close friends. While the other DS17 survivors had slowly become reacquainted with how things worked again in an ordered Starfleet, Kadosh noticed 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 was to take over most of the station's leadership positions.

Important Relationships

• Msafiri Bakari: A human security officer and the highest ranking survivor of the DS17 occupation.

Though Bakari would consider himself strongly protective of the other survivors, Kadosh often worries about him in the way that an older sister might worry about a younger and troubled sibling.

• Radi Rais: A human marine who was captured by the Vaadwaur.

Rais and Kadosh met during the Second Battle of Eratis and the fall of Deep Space 17 to the Vaadwaur. Rais had been critically wounded during the battle and was being treated by Kadosh and a few other medical personnel who refused to abandon their posts and evacuate with the other medical personnel. The Vaadwaur soon storm the medical wing and kill the doctors and some of the other staff, leaving only Kadosh and a medic. Rais and Kadosh began to form a bond over their mutual imprisonment. That bond didn't last, unfortunately, once the Vaadwaur subjected Rais to their brainwashing. He emerged as a loyal soldier of the Vaadwaur Occupation Force.

• Jennifer Brockton: A human marine who became part of the insurgency during the Vaadwaur occupation.

They had met once previously, but it was only in the dark times of the occupation that the two became good friends.
