Trentin Fala was a Bajoran and friend of Kira Nerys. During the Cardassian Occupation of Bajor, Trentin was an informer for the Bajoran Resistance, though she was never officially a member. She worked as a cleaner at a Cardassian records office in Dahkur Province, from which she secretly passed information to the Shakaar resistance cell for years without being discovered. The information she provided allowed the Shakaar cell to mount dozens of attacks on Cardassian targets. She never stopped helping the Resistance, but spent every day terrified that she would be caught and executed by the Cardassians. Her fear was so great that, even after the Occupation ended, she did not want what she had done to become known.
