Then the Cardassians came, unleashing a sixty-year occupation that stripped the planet bare of its resources. Over the years, this gradually changed the Bajoran society, from being a relatively peaceful and prosperous people to being aggressive, destitute guerrillas. Before, they did bicker among themselves, but later, were united in an effort to rid their planet of the Cardassian force. The underlying core of their faith and philosophy remained the same and it was this that ultimately pulled them through this dark chapter of their history. When the Cardassians were finally gone, the bickering resumed.

  • Then the Cardassians came, unleashing a sixty-year occupation that stripped the planet bare of its resources. Over the years, this gradually changed the Bajoran society, from being a relatively peaceful and prosperous people to being aggressive, destitute guerrillas. Before, they did bicker among themselves, but later, were united in an effort to rid their planet of the Cardassian force. The underlying core of their faith and philosophy remained the same and it was this that ultimately pulled them through this dark chapter of their history. When the Cardassians were finally gone, the bickering resumed. As a result of the occupation, the Bajorans became very distrustful of outside cultures. They did, however, realize their vulnerable state and invited the Federation to establish a presence in their system to ward off any vulture species or the return of the Cardassians. (DS9: "Emissary") Some more conservative sects, such as that led by Vedek Winn in 2370 on the space station Deep Space 9, blatantly disregarded many scientific facts simply because they did not agree with the ideals of their faith. Other, somewhat more liberal sects, such as the one led by Vedek Bareil, were more open to the ideas of science and religion complementing one another. (DS9: "In the Hands of the Prophets") The Bajoran deities did not end with the Prophets. The embodiment of all that was evil in their society was the aliens they called the Pah-wraiths, or in some instances, the Kosst Amojan. Captain Benjamin Sisko became the Emissary of the Prophets in 2370, while in 2375, Gul Dukat became the Emissary to the Pah-wraiths. Overall, the core of the Bajoran religious system included an undying faith in the Prophets, and their plan for Bajor and all Bajorans. This, along with charity and humility, were the keys to enlightenment. (DS9: "Covenant")
