The Bajoran Resistance was a movement formed by the people of Bajor during the occupation by the Cardassian Union. This group fought against the oppressive regime, seeking to reclaim their planet and restore their independence. The resistance included various factions and individuals who employed guerrilla tactics and sabotage to undermine Cardassian control. Key figures in the Bajoran Resistance included Kira Nerys, who later became a prominent leader in the Bajoran government, and Gul Dukat, the Cardassian officer overseeing the occupation. The resistance played a crucial role in the eventual liberation of Bajor, leading to its recognition as a sovereign world in the Alpha Quadrant.
