Berat was a Cardassian crewman on the Swift Striker in 2370. Prior to the Revanche party taking over, he had been systems control officer to Farside Station, where he held the rank of glinn. However, after the Revanchists came to power his father, two uncles, and brother were hanged in a public square. After three days of hanging, the stoning began. At this time Berat threw a stone at his family so as not to appear "soft on traitors", an action he was ashamed of. Berat himself was not executed because having been stationed on the other side of Cardassian space from Bajor, he could not be linked to the "wormhole sellout scandal," and had signed a denunciation.
