Science Fiction
Deep Space Nine is a space station near the planet Bajor, built by the imperialistic Cardassians during their long, brutal occupation of Bajor. After liberating themselves through a guerrilla war, the Bajorans invite the United Federation of Planets to jointly administer the station. The station is renamed Deep Space Nine, and a mixed Starfleet and Bajoran crew is assigned to manage it, led by Commander Benjamin Sisko. Set in the run-up to the Dominion War, Stardate 49962, roughly the year 2372.
Author's Note:
I thought I'd put a bit of Star Trek up here. DS9 is a good place to start in the universe, it's a great hub area to work out of, and has some of the best characters in the Star Trek universe.
I've just started watching DS9 again on Netflix, I've not seen it since the 90s - the visuals are dated, but the characters and plot still hold up. There's a wealth of Star Trek info on the net, and most AI's know it, so I thought it would make a great Friends and Fables project! It's still a work in progress, but the lions share of what I want to achieve is there. I may be off with some details, but precise locations and timelines are always "malleable" in the star trek universe!
The scenario starts in Quark's Bar, with Commander Sisko, Chief of Security Odo, and Major Kira Nerys in a heated "discussion" with Quark, a Ferengi bar owner. What they are "discussing" will differ every time thanks to the wonders of AI. A missing ship? An illicit relic being smuggled by a member of a regional crime syndicate? A threat against a visiting dignitary? I've experienced a few! Obviously there are still some beta issues with Friends & Fables, but when all goes smoothly you cannot top it, short of sitting round the games table with some buddies.
*Star trek leans more toward the narrative, I suggest turning off turn-based combat and enabling "Hide Unknown Entities" in settings, this hides the names and locations of NPCs and characters you haven't met yet, adding a layer of mystery to the narrative, because names aren't used in descriptions until you learn them!*

appearance
A middle-aged Bajoran male with distinctive nose ridges, Borum has short, dark hair peppered with gray. He wears a simple, worn Bajoran tunic, reflecting his time in captivity, and his eyes carry a weight of sorrow and determination. He has a lean build, a testament to his years of hardship.
personality
Borum is resilient and selfless, often putting the needs of others before his own. He carries a deep sense of loyalty to his friends and a strong desire for justice, shaped by his experiences during the Occupation. He is serious and contemplative, often reflecting on the past but remains hopeful for the future.
backstory
Borum was a Bajoran who endured the brutalities of the Cardassian Occupation. Imprisoned on Cardassia IV, he remained there even after the Occupation ended, sharing his fate with his close friend Li Nalas at the Hutet labor camp. In a moment of hope, he convinced a Cardassian maintenance worker to deliver Li's earring to Rionoj, who promised to take it to Bajor. Unable to reach Bajor himself, Rionoj entrusted the earring to Quark on Deep Space 9, who then passed it to Kira Nerys, signaling that Li was still alive. When Kira and Miles O'Brien arrived to rescue Li, Borum insisted that Li must return to Bajor, and Kira promised to ensure his safety. Borum and a few others chose to stay behind, sacrificing their chance for freedom to hold off the pursuing Cardassians, allowing Li to escape. After Li's safe return, the Cardassians claimed the imprisonment of the Bajorans had not been authorized, leading to Borum and the remaining prisoners being returned to Bajor.
