Emyn Lise -- Bajoran
Female
Chief of Security, Deep
Space Nine, Bajoran Sector
Chief of Security Emyn Lise
is one of the newest additions to DS9's senior staff. She is Bajoran, born
and raised in the desert province of Ralinte. Because of the arid conditions
and sparse resources of her homeland, the Cardassian Occupation was less
brutal for Emyn than for other survivors. She, her mother, and her two
brothers lived in a small village with several other Bajoran families,
who by turns worked in the small ore mine located nearby and acted as servants
for the families of their Cardassian overseers. Though undoubtedly a slave,
Emyn lived a relatively easy life for most of her adolescence, finding
time to go running and climbing through the hills and bluffs surrounding
the village.
Things changed when the Resistance
began to take hold in Ralinte Province; a small cell took root near the
village, sparking a battle that would eventually destroy and scatter the
small population. The Cardassian overseers either dead or fleeing back
to the capital, the remaining Bajorans had either to join the cell or to
make their way on their own. Emyn chose the latter option, finding her
way to Selat, a larger city near the edge of the province. She worked in
the processing plants there until the end of the Occupation, at which time
she was enlisted to help in the reconstruction of Bajor. Although she had
never fought in the Resistance herself, her family's involvement gave her
enough recognition to earn a field commission. She headed up security efforts
in Selat and later in the capital city. Though a bit antisocial, Emyn proved
herself capable in her field, eventually making her way up to a rank of
captain in the Bajoran militia.
At the end of the Dominion
war, twenty-five years after the rebellion in Ralinte Province, Emyn was
given a post on the Federation space station Deep Space Nine, as a replacement
for Odo. She now serves under Colonel Kira.
