![]() Garak was initially concerned that Ziyal might try to kill him, due to the enmity between him and Dukat, though the two eventually developed a relationship. Ziyal also became drawn to Elim Garak, who was the only Cardassian on the station. (DS9: "Return to Grace")Īboard the station, Ziyal developed a close friendship with Major Kira, coming to think of her as a sort of big sister. Dukat had conceded that it would be a better life for her on the station than accompanying him on his war against the Klingons. However, after the Groumall was destroyed and Dukat took command of a captured Klingon Bird-of-Prey, Ziyal returned with Kira to live on Deep Space 9. Since he was the only family she had, Ziyal followed Dukat to the Groumall. She later confided with Kira that the only good thing about her life on Cardassia was her father, who spent time with her and never acted as though he were ashamed of her. Meanwhile, Ziyal was shunned by most Cardassians for her Bajoran half. Dukat was demoted from his position as chief military adviser to the Detapa Council and assigned to command the freighter Groumall, while his wife took their children and left him. (DS9: "Indiscretion")įollowing Ziyal's return to Cardassia with her father, the expected political backlash was swift. As he looked upon his daughter, Dukat found he could not kill her. When Dukat found her as he and Kira liberated the camp, Ziyal told him that she would rather die than to be apart from him. Ziyal was aware of this fact from the other Cardassian prisoners, but she still hoped that her father would rescue her as her mother promised. Dukat had intended to kill Ziyal if he should find her alive, as the fact he had an illegitimate half-Bajoran daughter posed a threat to his political position and legitimate family. ![]() Dukat learned that Major Kira Nerys was mounting a search for the transport and arranged to have himself join her. Six years later in early 2372, the fate of the Ravinok reached the outside world. Moore commented: "Ziyal was kept out of public view during the Cardassian Occupation as was her mother since it would've been politically incorrect for Dukat to have a Bajoran family at that time." (AOL chat, 1997) Naprem was killed in the crash, while Ziyal and the other survivors were captured and forced to labor in a nearby Breen dilithium mine. En route, the Ravinok was attacked and downed on Dozaria by Breen warships. Therefore, he sent the two of them away to live on the neutral planet of Lissepia, aboard the transport ship Ravinok in 2366. Although Dukat loved both Naprem and their daughter, he knew the Occupation was drawing to a close and that Ziyal would not be accepted on either Bajor or Cardassia Prime.
