In the mirror universe, Kira Meru was a Bajoran female in the service of the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance who lived during the 24th century. She was the mother of Kira Nerys. At one time, she had an affair with Skrain Dukat. This led to Dukat's unhealthy obsession with Kira Nerys in later years. (ST novel: Dark Passions, Book One, DS9 - Mirror Universe novel: Saturn's Children) Meru is not named in Saturn's Children, but it can be assumed that she shared her name with Nerys' mother in the primary universe as is usually the case with mirror universe characters.
