In the mirror universe, Zarale was a Cardassian gul who served in the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance during the 24th century. From 2358 until at least 2375, he was the commander of the mining colony Korvat. Keiko succeeded Kozak as overseer and served in that position until she and 98 other slaves escaped to Terok Nor, the headquarters of the Terran Rebellion, in 2375. However, she regretted not killing Zarale in his sleep when she had the opportunity. (DS9 - Mirror Universe short story: "A Terrible Beauty")
