The Circle Commission was a board of inquiry that was convened on Bajor following Jaro Essa and the Alliance for Global Unity's attempted coup d'état against the Bajoran Bajoran Provisional Government in 2370. In 2372, the Commission exonerated former General Krim Aldos and cleared him of any involvement with the Circle. (DS9 - Worlds of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine novel: Bajor: Fragments and Omens)
