* '''Proper Name''': [[MA:Bajoran Wormhole|Bajoran Wormhole]]   

It has been theorized that the Wormhole Aliens were once [[MA:Corporeal|physical]] beings who evolved into a [[MA:Non-corporeal|non-corporeal]] state. Records from other encounters with [[MA:Non-corporeal|non-corporeal]] races point toward this being a possibility. It it thereofre a viable supposition that the [[Bajoran]] people may someday evolve into this race of beings, lending credence to their tenet, "We are of [[Bajor]]". However there is absolutely no evidence to support this theory at present.

===Senses===

The residents of the [[MA:Bajoran Wormhole|Bajoran Wormhole]] are able to perceive more than the average [[MA:Humanoid|humanoid]]. When possessing a [[MA:humanoid|humanoid]] host they are limited to the usual senses that are accorded to their host, however in their [[MA:Non-corporeal|non-corporeal]] state they are able to make accurate judgements and assessments of a [[MA:humanoid|humanoid's]] personality, as well as to see time in a [[MA:time|non-linear]] state.

The Wormhole Aliens are worshipped by the [[Bajorans]] as the ''Prophets''. They do not adhere to many customs, other than the view that they themselves are "of [[Bajor]]". There is currently no concrete scientific or historical evidence to support this claim, however it has been proven that a similar class of entity, the [[MA:Pah-Wraith|Pah-Wraiths]], dwell within the [[MA:Fire Caves|Fire Caves]] on [[Bajor|Bajor's]] surface.

===The Emissary of the Prophets===

In 2369, Starfleet Captain [[MA:Benjamin Sisko|Benjamin Sisko]] and Lieutenant [[MA:Jadzia Dax|Jadzia Dax]] discovered what would come to be known by the [[Bajoran]] people as the [[MA:Bajoran Wormhole|Celestial Temple]]. Referred to by non-[[Bajoran|Bajorans]] as the [[MA:Bajoran Wormhole|Bajoran Wormhole]], it led to first contact between [[MA:Benjamin Sisko|Sisko]] and the Wormhole Aliens. This resulted in his being given the title of [[MA:Emissary|Emissary of the Prophets]] by then [[MA:Kai|Kai]] [[MA:Opaka|Opaka]]. Despite initial reluctance to accept this title, it was later proven that [[MA:Benjamin Sisko|Sisko's]] birth was a direct result of intervention from the Wormhole Aliens, and he would go on to be taken into their realm in 2375.

The Wormhole Aliens refer to the [[MA:Emissary|Emissary]] as "The Sisko", which suggests that they did not intend for him to hold a religious title, simply that they saw him as a necessary and useful tool in their quest to subdue the power of the [[MA:Pah-Wraith|Pah-Wraiths]].

===Tears of the Prophets===

The [[MA:Bajoran|Bajorans]] believe that the Prophets have sent Prophecies to them over the course of their entire history. This theory would seem to be supported by the reception by the [[Bajoran]] people of several artifacts that enable contact with the Prophets themselves. These artifacts are known as [[MA:Orb|Orbs]], or [[MA:Orb|Tears of the Prophets]]. The Prophecies that are imparted to the [[Bajoran]] people are seen as a great gift, and are renowned for their coming true. However, if the Prophets' perception of time is as they say it is, it would be reasonable to assume that these Prophecies are made using concrete evidence drawn directly from experience of the future.

The [[MA:Orb|Orbs]] themselves are interesting constructions. Inside their trapezoid cases, they are hourglass shaped, and when opened can provide the user with visions based on their own perception and memories. Should the Wormhole Aliens choose to communicate directly with an individual who is using an orb, they will do so by talking through a manifestation of someone they know or have seen recently.

===The Reckoning===

The overall goal of the Wormhole Aliens is to ensure that their evil counterparts, the [[MA:Pah-Wraith|Pah-Wraiths]], cannot cause any damage to [[Bajor]], and to some extent the rest of the galaxy. Many of their Prophecies refer to the Reckoning, a final cataclysmic battle between Prophet and [[MA:Pah-Wraith|Pah-Wraith]], which will decide the future of [[Bajor]] forever by banishing the [[MA:Pah-Wraith|Pah-Wraiths]] once and for all and ushering in a new age of prosperity and enlightenment. This battle came to pass in 2374, a while after the discovery of an ancient relic in the recently uncovered city of [[MA:B'hala|B'hala]]. Major [[MA:Kira Nerys|Kira Nerys]] was possessed by a Prophet, and ironically the [[MA:Emissary|Emissary's]] son, [[MA:Jake Sisko|Jake Sisko]], was possessed by a [[MA:Pah-Wraith|Pah-Wraith]]. Their battle took place on the Promenade of [[MA:Deep Space 9|Deep Space Nine]], and the Prophet was inches from winning the fight when [[MA:Kai|Kai]] [[MA:Winn Adami|Winn]] flooded the area with [[MA:Chroniton|chroniton]] radiation, forcing the entities from their hosts.

A similar battle took place in 2375, when [[MA:Benjamin Sisko|Benjamin Sisko]], [[MA:Emissary|Emissary of the Prophets]], confronted [[MA:Gul|Gul]] [[MA:Dukat|Dukat]], Emissary of the [[MA:Pah-Wraith|Pah-Wraiths]] in the [[MA:Fire Cave|Fire Caves]] of [[Bajor]]. Although [[MA:Benjamin Sisko|Sisko]] possessed none of the superhuman abilities that had been granted to [[MA:Dukat|Dukat]] by the [[MA:Pah-Wraith|Pah-Wraiths]], he was able to destory their scion, an ancient and malevolent tome, which resulted in the [[MA:Pah-Wraith|Pah-Wraiths]] and their Emissary being sealed away with no known way of escape or release. Whether or not this battle fulfilled the same role in the culture of the Wormhole Aliens or the religion of the [[Bajoran|Bajorans]] is not fully known or understood.

==Federation Intelligence Files==

*The Wormhole Aliens have proven to be largely benevolent to the [[MA:United Federation of Planets|Federation]] due to its alliance with [[Bajor]]. However, the same cannot be said of the related species, the [[MA:Pah-Wraith|Pah-Wraiths]], who do not hold the [[MA:United Federation of Planets|Federation]], or indeed [[Bajor]], in such high regard. The difference can be seen visibly either during possession or when the entity is outside of a host as [[MA:Pah-Wraith|Pah-Wraiths]] have an orange hue, or cause [[MA:Iris|irises]] to become red.
