Chapter 24 - The Former Caste System of Bajor (Patreon)

While many of my friends in the Resistance, including my girls, wanted a break from the fighting, this was a dangerous and tumultuous time for Bajor given the chaos of this transitional period. The Bajorans needed to rediscover what it meant to be free once again, to rule themselves and be in control of their own destiny. While the Cardassians had been murdering and raping the planet, old grudges and prejudices native to any planet had been set aside to fight a common enemy. In this transitional period it was critical that the Bajoran people didn’t fall back into those old patterns and become divided once again. If the Bajorans reverted to the d’jarra, for example, the rigid caste system that had shaped Bajoran society before the Occupation, it would be a disaster.
