| A Bajoran who served in the Federation Starfleet. Born in 2340 and raised during the Cardassian occupation of her homeworld, Ro spent her childhood in Bajoran resettlement camps. When she was seven years old she was forced to watch as the Cardassians tortured her father to death. As a Starfleet ensign, Ro had numerous reprimands on her record, and she was court-martialled after a disasterous mission to the planet Garon II in which she disobeyed orders and eight members of her USS Wellington away team were killed. Bajoran custom dictates that an individual's family name is given first, and the given name is last; thus Ro is her given name. In 2368, on stardate 45494, Ro and Riker shared a brief romantic liaison when both suffered from memory loss while under the influence of a Satarran probe. Despite her people's spiritual nature, Ro was never sure about Bajoran religion. |
