Name: General Trentin Anara<br><br />
Age: 42<br><br />
Birthdate: July 31st<br><br />
Birthplace:Jalanda, Bajor.<br><br />
Gender: Female<br><br />
Height/Weight: 5 ft 8 in, 145 lbs<br><br />
Eye Color: Blue<br><br />
Hair Color: Black<br><br />
<br />
<br />
Physical Description: Trentin is a moderately sized person with black hair She was always athletic and likes to run in the holodeck and practice with a metal quarterstaff her brother made for her. Enjoys physical meditative exercises.<br><br><br />
<br />
Personality:<br />
Anara can be a thoughtful person who loves her people and will always hate the Cardassians she enjoys being around others as she has a very positive personality, the tougher the situation the more jokes she will make. Course this could just be a smart alec issue. She enjoys going to some parties, but tends to be pretty dedicated to what she considers her duty.. She is of a peacemaker mentality though is ready and able to use force as needed, along the lines of simply not wanting to bother but is happy to obliged if pushed.<br><br><br />
<br />
Personal History:<br />
Personal History: Anara was born in Jalanda on Bajor and she was raised on a small plot of land with her parents and sibilings. Anara has 1 older brother and two younger sisters. The Brother is in the Bajoran Militia as a Major.<br />
<br><br><br />
Anara had a pretty normal childhood....well normal for bajor anyway. Both her parents were in resistance cells as was her older brother as she and her sisters grew they too took on more and more of the responsibility. Anara had been on many ground raids until Bajor was free sometime during her teen years. She always intensely curious, especially about things which she didn't know anything about... and made every effort to learn, after all... you never knew what would come back and get you because you weren't ready for it.<br />
Her Mother's brother is in the Ambassadorial Corps, and two cousins in Starfleet one is an ship XO and another in Starfleet intel. Her mother is an Author and her father is a musician, both reservists in the militia (of course). The fact that their creative outlets were able to function in spite of the occupation is amazing. Anara decided to get a job on DS9 so she trained as an engineer. The next four years were grueling but she eagerly took on the challenge as she did everything with an intense focus.<br><br><br />
<br />
Once she decided something was important, failure never crossed her mind. She graduated fairly high in her class and was assigned to the station until she came across some Maquis hiding on the station they'd gotten from Bajor to the station but there was a lock down looking for them and they'd never get any further not without help...<br><br><br />
<br />
Knowing her hatred of the Cardassians would make her at least listen to him Eddington eventually recruited her into the Maquis, knowing he had an ally when she looked the other way in the escape she simply went with them. Sending a message to her family in the familial code they worked out years before, she was sure they would understand. She gradually worked her way into different positions within the maquis, commanding first her ship then entire Maquis sections. Her Ship the MFS Liberty a Nova Class Vessel, is dedicated to the principles of the Maquis...in their own odd fashion *grin*,<br />

And taking classes at the Maquis Training Camp aka the Academy.<br />
<br />
In MFI she commanded the MFS Liberty and when that was unfortunately lost in battle she commanded the MFS Liberty A. After acting as a Zone Coordinator for a few chapters she was recruited to develop the groundpounder side of the force(insert own joke here). Working whereever needed she's worked in the Academy, as a TRADOC, Marine Deputy, and Commandant. She is currently special advisor to the MFMC staff in addition to other duties. She also fell in with a couple of creative troublemakers at SKUNKWERKS Rearch and Development Facility...their trouble but at least their on our side *grin*.<br />

<br />
<br />
Personal History:<br><br><br />
<br />
<br />
Background: Went to the Vulcan Academy of Political Science, fascinated by the organic nature of government and its interdependence in its various parts to function. As well as history and universal philosophy's. She studied a great deal finally graduating then going to work for the Vulcan government in a variety of posts. At one point meeting a human scientist who was working on curing a food shortage in Mixas 3 where she was part of a team trying to mediate a peace settlement between the two warring factions. After awhile she decided she needed more practical experience in the full range of governmental policy options, and having a desire to serve, joined the Vulcan Defense Force. The closest thing they had to a military, outside of Starfleet, as a reservist. It was this experience that enabled her to study with greater understanding the situation in the DMZ with the Maquis, Cardassians, and Federation. She understood the maxim that the 'good of the many must outweigh the needs of the few' but it was difficult as she helped in outreach programs to the innocents harmed to ignore the logic that one who could allow such suffering to continue was somehow a party to it. It seemed to her that the Cardassians were taking full advantage of the Federations need for an end to their decades long war. And the Federation, high of ideals, had tired of the bloodshed and seemed to be hoping that if they simply didn't see the excesses of the Cardassians in the area they wouldn't have to react. The Cardassians, long afraid that every other race was out to get them, made their own nightmares come true. They, by their own actions, helped make the stubborn Federation Leave Behinds react negatively.<br><br><br />
<br />
<br />
She had been part of the team that had advised the Bajoran Rebel Leadership when they fought for their home and so when contacts from those days came visiting with new persons who representing The Maquis (alliance, confederation, what did we agree to call this in game?), she heard them out. Her involvement was very step by step. At first it was advice, there were certain tactics that while they may be helpful in the short term was not helpful to any long term plan for Independence. Especially if they wanted recognition from others. Eventually and with all due logic helped them move into a more universally defensible stance in regards to their actions and government. Over time as they moved more and more into a proper government-in-exile, she helped them more and more. Supported by her husband, a scientist, they helped as they could. Eventually she resigned her positions to help more directly. She took different positions within the New Maquis Government eventually becoming their Coordinator. Now the Maquis are a proper government, no longer in exile. No longer scattered survivors but a government recognized by all and she now leads them as best she can with honor and logic as her guides but that doesn't mean the danger is passed. Her goal is to work toward Peace With Justice. For she feels to have the first one must have the other.<br><br><br />

G'Kar from Babylon 5 said one of my favorite quotes:<br />
"There is a greater darkness then the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos, and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope. The death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born, in pain.'"- <br />
<br><br />
It sounds cheesy but while one must be practical I am big on keeping hope alive, it seems to help :).<br><br />
<br />
I got married in 2003 to a wonderful(when he doesn't annoy me, lol) man James Doane, I am currently a librarian in a great public library, lucky me *grin*. I am interested in just about all sci fi and fantasy, though my perm favs are Star Trek, Babylon 5, and Dr. Who. I will forever be impressed by the Human ability to imagine.<br><br><br />
<br />
Also like Monty Python, in fact it might be easier to list what I don't like. *grin*. Ren faires, medieval groups like the SCA, games, are all some of my interests. I also am an officer in the Civil Air Patrol. I am in a Michigan unit. I am trained to go on search and rescue missions, lost plane searches, ELT Missions, and Disaster Relief. I am also fully qualified Red Cross First Aid/CPR Instructor within my County as well as a Red Cross Volunteer. I walk yearly with a team for Relay for Life, a cancer research fundraising event. I am also pretty good with paperwork but I think my husband just says that because he doesn't want to do it lol. I suppose I could add alot more here but I don't want to bore anyone lol. Besides fandom me is much more interesting then RL me :D.<br />

<br />
==Favorite Qoutes==<br />
I keep hearing quotes here and there in Star Trek and other sources that I think are pretty cool so I've decided to start listing them below. Just quotes I like to mull over from time to time. <br><br><br />
#"Do the best you can, with where you are and what you have."- T. Roosevelt<br />
#"They are born explorers.." Kes, VOY, Episode 'The Cloud.'<br />
#"Live Long And Prosper", Vulcan Blessing<br />
#"Seize the time...Live now; make now always the most precious time. Now will never come again" -- Picard (The Inner Light) <br />
#"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censored, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably." -- Captain Picard, quoting Judge Aaron Satie (The Drumhead) <br />
#"We do exactly what we would do if this Q never existed. If we're going to be damned, let's be damned for who we really are" -- Captain Picard (Encounter At Farpoint) <br />
#"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error..."-President T. Roosevelt<br />
#"I have a dream; a dream that all people -- human, Jem'Hadar, Ferengi, Cardassians -- will someday stand together in peace... around my Dabo tables." -- Quark (The Search) <br />
#"I thought Starfleet rules said that was an unacceptable risk, going back to save him" -- Lt. Dolby..It was, however I recently realized there are times when it is desirable to bend the rules" -- Tuvok, VOY (Learning Curve) <br />
#"We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard"-President J.F Kennedy<br />
#"get 'er done!"-Larry the Cable Guy<br />
#"Fear exists for one purpose: to be conquered" -- Janeway (The Thaw) <br />
#"Ever since my first day on the job as a Starfleet Captain, I swore I'd never let myself get caught in one of these Godforsaken paradoxes. The past is the future, the future is the past, it all gives me a headache." -- Janeway (Future's End Pt. I) <br />
#"A stranger is a friend you just haven't met yet." -- Captain Kathryn Janeway (Fair Haven) <br />
#"Where there is life, there is hope."- Dr. Who, Planet of the Spiders.<br />
#"There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, and the sea is asleep, and the rivers dream. People made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice, somewhere else the tea's getting cold. Come on, Ace; we've got work to do!" Dr. Who. The Doctor's final words, in "Survival"<br />
#"Anybody remotely interesting is mad, in some way or another.”-Dr. Who.<br />
#"Dreams are important... never underestimate them."-Dr. Who<br />
#"As we learn about each other, so we learn about ourselves."-Dr. Who.<br />
#Dr. Who: What is Clarke's 3rd Law? Ace: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Dr. Who: Well the reverse is true."-Dr. Who, Last Battlefield.<br />
#"I saw amazing things, out there in space--but there is strangeness to be found, wherever you turn. Life on Earth can be an adventure too... you just need to know where to look!"-Sarah Jane, Sarah Jane Adventures.<br />
#"You'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy." Ben Kanobi, Star Wars: A New Hope. "..yeah villainy!"-CD.<br />
#"Be Excellent To Each Other." Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Bill.<br />

<font color="cyan">'''[[MFI International Awards]]:''' </font color>An award for which the Awards Division determines the criteria and representation. Awards can be Academy or Service based awards. Academy awards are authorized by confirmation of a passing grade on a particular exam by the Academy Commandant. Service awards are awarded by their individual criteria established by the Awards Division. <br><br />
<br><br />
<font color="cyan">'''[[Department Level Awards]]:'''</font color>An award for which the head of the Department determines the criteria and representation of their awards. Ther are currently no internationally controled ribbons for this level.<br> <br />
<br><br />
<font color="cyan">'''[[Branch Level Awards]]:'''</font color>An award for which the head of the Branch determines the criteria and representation save for the representation of the ribbons listed.<br> <br />
<br><br />
<font color="cyan">'''[[Zone Level Awards]]:'''</font color> An award for which the Zone Coordinator determines the criteria and representation save for the representation of the ribbons listed.<br> <br />
<br><br />
<font color="cyan">'''[[Chapter Level Awards]]:'''</font color> An award for which the Chapter Chairperson or Chapter Designee(s) determine the criteria and representation save for the representation of the ribbons listed. <br><br />
<br><br />
<font color="cyan">'''Types of awards:''' </font color>There are four basic types of awards authorized by the MFI. <br><br />
<br><br />
<font color="cyan">Medals</font color> - MFI is currently negotiating to produce our own medals. MFI does recognize those medals earned by members from other International Groups (I.G.'s). Wearing of other I.G.'s medals is authorized for MFI members. Refer to the issuing group for their order of precedence, following the MFI model below. <br><br />
<br><br />
<font color="cyan">Ribbons</font color> - MFI produces ribbons using those from various sources (see [[Ribbon Construction]]). Although these are real ribbons from either the Civil Air Patrol or from the US Military, we take great effort to alter the "base" ribbon so as to avoid the appearance that we as an organization are mis-representing ourselves by wearing these existing ribbons. Since these become unique to MFI, these are "legal" for our members to then wear as they do not exist in their final form elsewhere.<br><br />
<br><br />
<font color="cyan">Devices</font color> - Devices are obtained from the sources below and although are the actual devices used by the Civil Air Patrol and the US Military, we either use them in different manners, combinations, and ribbons or they are common enough in various groups to again avoid the appearance that we are misrepresenting ourselves.<br><br />
<br><br />
<font color="cyan">Paper Certificates</font color> - Using this method of award gives MFI the freedom of expression through free formats as decided upon by the awarding authority. Those awarding authorities should adhere to standards which don't conflict with other authorities on a peer to peer level to avoid confusion (i.e. Coordinator Council (CC) awards should resemble those issued by other CC members' awards. Branches have more freedom since they are entities unto themselves, however, they should adhere to some pre-agreed on general format. Chapters can choose whichever format they choose and enjoy the broadest form of freedom of expression.<br><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Fadm-Doane-Awards:<br><br><br />
<br />
I’m not sure what I can say that has not already been said. Over the years multiple members have talked about his generosity in helping other members. His willingness to toil behind the scenes on website work or seemingly thankless Academy projects. His ability to be there whenever possible for advice or even a shoulder to cry on. He’s worked in the Academy, the Sim Fleet, the Maquis Marines. He’s done years of organization wide events like the Labor Day Offensive and other such events that have built a solid sense of es spirit de corps. When real life hit hard it was tougher to get things done but that didn’t mean he didn’t keep trying. Not only does he have the proven dedication of years of work but the heart of what it means to be Maquis. Loyalty, dedication, and integrity are a few of the traits many of us have seen in him over the years. It is for these and many other reasons that he is granted the well-earned rank of General. May his career be long and his felonies undiscovered. Congratulations!<br><br><br><br><br><br><br />
<br />
::Fadm Doane shakes General Easterly’s hand and pins on the new rank. It is some minutes later before she can speak again due to the deafing cheers coming from the assembled. With a smile she says::<br />
<br />
FADM Doane-Awards: Return to your seat, General Easterly.<br><br><br />
<br />
::He returns the smile and salutes. The salute is returned and he returns to his seat.::<br><br><br />
<br />
<br />
::She then goes through the ‘Changing of the Podium with FADM Laury and returns to her position::<br><br><br />
<br />
FADM Lary-IC: Congratulations to General Easterly and all others who have earned awards this year. Remember if you have any nominations feel free to send those along to our Awards department at any time. The work of fan clubs is sometimes difficult so promotions and awards are a few of the ways we like to try to show our appreciation for the hard work you all do. So I hope you will take these awards as the signs of great esteem they are meant. Fair Winds and Following Seas in the coming year, everyone is dismissed to the after party.<br><br><br />
<br />
::End Ceremony::<br><br><br />

After party devolves into Maquis Craziness. <br><br><br />

=== Introduction ===<br />
<font size="2"><br />
"I've done everything I can to help. I'd die for my people, but—"<br />
"Sure you would — dying gets you off the hook. Question is, are you willing to live for your people — live the role they want you to play? That's what they need from you right now." <br />
- Li Nalas Bajoran Hero and Benjamin Sisko, The Emissary. “The Siege” DS9.<br><br><br />
Both may be asked of a member of the Bajoran Militia, indeed will be asked of those who seek to serve Bajor above all. One could be asked to die or live, neither choice being easy. Both requiring a full measure of service. The Bajoran Militia, also known as the Bajoran Military Guard, is the military arm of the Bajoran Provisional Government, mostly made up of many former resistance fighters from the Occupation of Bajor. Before this Occupation, Bajor had no need of a strong military force. Though the militia existed in 2318 it was not the force it is today and indeed had been officially disbanded by the Cardassians when they took over. Bajorans were a peaceful people but after 50 years of a brutal occupation by Cardassian forces, they had learned the hard lessons of a subjugated peoples. That they bent but did not break in their spirit is in evidence in their strong post-occupation military. <br><br><br />
It's reestablishment was overseen by Bajoran Minister Jaro Essa in 2369, their headquarters is known as the War Room. Seen at the top of this page as bracketed by the Bajoran Military Flag. From this room all resources can be monitored and information sent. This is the nerve center of any Militia efforts. While their equipment still has much to be desired, the sheer numbers of battle-hard veterans they had to fill their ranks was staggering. Also the fact that many of these former resistance fighters were used to being creative and doing a lot with very little is important. Skills that would put them in good stead to protect Bajor and her interests in the future. And not just her interests they needed to protect after 2376. For that is when Bajor joined the Federation of Planets. Some members of the militia choose to join Starfleet while others remained in the militia in it's new form as a local defense force.<br><br><br />
Officers of the Militia were usually graduates of the Bajoran Military Academy, although as has been stated many commissions were awarded on the basis of demonstrated skills and merit of the soldiers who were part of the resistance against the occupation. <br />
The main divisions are Command, Security, Science, Medical, and Engineering. The structure is comparable to that of an Earth army, with similar ranks. See below.<br />
Also note that:<br />
The militia jointly operated Deep Space Nine with Starfleet. From 2369 to 2375 the station was commanded by a Starfleet command level officer and the Executive Officer was a Militia member. When the station's last Starfleet commander, Captain Benjamin Sisko disappeared in late 2375, his executive officer Colonel Kira Nerys of the Bajoran Militia, took command.<br />
<br><br />
<div align="Left"><br />
=== Militia Chain of Command ===<br />
<font size="2"><br />
<br />
The chain of command for the Militia is simple. There are four divisions but only one Militia. The divisions are:<br />
#Aerial Guard: The atmospheric air force of the Militia, it protects the skies above Bajor or any of her colonies.<br><br><br />
#The City Watch: The City Watch, also known as the Watch, was a police force whose jurisdiction covered the provinces of the planet Bajor and her colonies prior to the Cardassian Occupation. Reinstated after the Occupation the City Watch was a branch of the Bajoran Militia and sought to maintain civil order among the Bajoran people.<br><br><br />
#Planetary Defense: All military forces on or around Bajor or one of her colonies put aside for this purpose are included in this Division.<br><br><br />
#The Space Guard: Is the Division of the Bajoran Militia responsible for maintaining Bajor's fleet of starships and space stations.<br><br><br />
<br />
Each Division is commanding by no less than a full General, this level of Command is called Division HQ. <br />
It is further divided into regions under the command of one of the levels of General. The larger and more complicated the region the higher the rank needed to oversee. The title for this level of HQ is Regional Militia Authority, below the area of the RMA's HQ are 'commands'. Each posting is a Command, for example DS9 is a Command. Depending on the complexity a set of commands may report to a certain aspect of the RMA's HQ. <br />
<br />
First Minister's Office to Commander General.<br />
Commander General will head a military cabinet made up of the General's in charge of each Division and their senior stafff. Each RMA Commanding Officer will have their regional HQ with all required senior staff. Commands will report to their RMA's HQ. <br />
<br />
<br />
=== Bajoran Militia Uniforms ===<br />
<br />
Bajoran uniforms are the standard clothing, worn by individuals serving in the Bajoran Militia. <br />
Bajoran uniforms are generally characterized by division or department color, displaying rank insignia and position to convey authority and purpose between personnel. Usually, the colors are red (command), brown (security), gray (science), purple/orange (medical) and green/grey (engineering). <br />
Rank is generally worn on left side of collar but Generals wear a dress tunic with epaulets, and two gold insignia pins on either side of their collar. The Bajoran symbol of state is on the upper right side of their uniform tunic in gold unless they are a member of the City Watch Division then it is in silver.</font><br><br />
[[Image:Bajoran_Command_Uniform.jpg|200px]] (Left-Command Division Duty Uniform)<br />
[[Image:Bajoran_Security.jpg|200px]](Left-Security Division Duty Uniform)<br><br />

[[Image:Bajoran_Engineering.jpg|200px]](Left-Engineering Division Duty Uniform)<br />
[[Image:Krim_(General).jpg|200px]](Left-Flag Officer Duty Uniform)<br />
<br><br><br />
The Bajoran dress uniform is a variant of the standard Bajoran uniform. It was worn for special occasions such as weddings, courts martial, and funerals. Also for greeting of ambassadorial delegations and heads of state. <br />
The uniform's coat extended to about mid-thigh and wrapped around the wearer to secure at the right side with a silver brooch-like device. Boots and leggings that match the coat were also worn. Command officers who normally wore burgundy color duty uniforms wore pale purple dress uniforms. Combage and rank insignia were worn on the dress uniform in the same position as the duty uniform. Further information the dress uniform colors of other divisions is not available at this time.<br><br />

<br />
= Rank Structure =<br />
A note on Bajoran ranks before the listing. One will note that there is a mixture of naval terms as well as ground. Most especially in the 'Ensign' grade. This is generally considered to be due to the fact that so much of the Militia's efforts against the Cardassians were ground-based they took on that ranking system. Throwing in naval as needed as that aspect grew and they seemed reluctant to branch into multiple militia, for example a naval militia and a ground militia. They are simply the Bajoran Militia, united. It should be noted that members of the City Watch Division have their own ranking structure below the General ranks. Beyond that the rank levels of the City Watch Division are in order of lowest to highest: <br><br />
#Watchman equal to Ensign, uses Ensign rank insignia. <br><br><br />
#Constable equal to 2Lt., uses 2Lt. rank insignia. <br><br><br />
#Inspector equal to 1Lt., uses 1Lt. rank insignia. <br><br><br />
#Chief Inspector equal to a Captain, uses Captain rank insigina. <br><br><br />
#Watch Captain equal to a Major, uses Major rank insigina. <br><br> <br />
#Watch Major equal to a Lt. Colonel, uses Lt. Colonel rank insigina. <br><br><br />
#Watch Commissioner, equal to a Field Colonel, uses Field Colonel rank insigina. This is the rank and title for a person in charge of a City Watch Command. <br><br><br />
General ranks for City Watch Division are as normal. All other divisions use all ranks below as normal.<br />
== General or Flag Ranks ==<br />
Generals of all ilks wore a dress tunic with epaulets, and wore two gold insignia pins on either side of their collar. Note their rank insignia duplicates lower ranks like Captain etc but the fact they were it on both sides of their collar indicates the Flag Officer Status.<br />

== Enlisted personnel ==<br />
Bajoran enlisted personnel were given rates similar to Starfleet. They generally did not wear rank insignia and their rank was denoted by both their collar size and the color of their clothing. For example section leaders wore a higher collar then lower ranked persons. Note Security Chief Odo's collar size in relation to the nurse listed. It covers his neck whereas hers merely goes half way. <br><br />

<div>{{Awards/Directory}}<br><br><br />
This page tells you the procedure for nominating a person for an award within MFI. Different level awards have different procedures.<br />
<br />
''International Level Awards:''<br />
With the exception of the Academy ribbons, all nominations for International Level awards must go through the [mailto:mfiawardsdiv@gmail.com Awards Board]. The only exceptions to this are the Commendation Medals (CM). They should be routed through the Branch Head first. While the Awards Board still has to approve the CM, the Branch Head has veto power over it. Therefore, he/she gets to see it first and, if approved, then passes it on to the Board.<br />
<br />
''Department Level Awards:''<br />
These are routed to the appropriate Department Head. They have final say on all awards at this level.<br />
<br />
''Branch Level Awards:''<br />
Send your nomination to the appropriate Branch Head. Be sure to do a good write-up. It could make the difference between being approved or not.<br />
<br />
''Zone Level Awards:''<br />
The proper Zone Coordinator has final say on all these awards.<br />
<br />
''Chapter Level Awards:''<br />
Nothing needs to be done for these awards. A Chapter CO merely needs to personally verify that the person meets the requirements.<br />
<br />
With any award, the person approving the award should send a notice to both [mailto:mfiawardsdiv@gmail.com Awards Division Head] [mailto:michealtolleson@sbcglobal.net MFI Chief of Operations] so that the changes can be recorded in the member's service record and the Hall of Honor. Please send noms to the Awards Division Head email if one doesn't get a response within a reasonable time frame from the awarding authority. <br />

<br><br><br />
<font color=red>UNDER CONSTRUCTION-WORK IN PROGRESS.</font><br />
<br><br><br><br />
<font color=yellow><br />
<br />
The Maquis Forces International Honor Guard Project came about because of members desire to be of service to fandom and their communities. The MFI Honor Guard is now a Special Unit under the office of the Vice International Coordinator, as run by the Guard Coordinator and ably assisted by the Special Security Division, etc. This can take the form of being a visible sign of MFI at conventions and other public gatherings or for funerals, weddings, or other special occasions as requested. Their duties are divided into two camps. The first is the Flag Honor Guard, this member would participate in some type of flag ceremony wherein the Chapter, Zone, or MFI Flag(s) is(are) used. The second is the VIP Honor Escort or Security duty, this person would be the volunteer security for a VIP From MFI, one of her allies, or acting as security for an approved event. This is a work in progress as we get information on entry requirements and other details we will post accordingly. Please note information may change pretty regularly until construction is complete so check back often!</font><br><br><br><br />
<div align=left><br><br />

== Introduction ==<br />
<div align="left"><br />
Due to a coding situation with moodle the Academy Staff is offering this alternate plan which involves students emailing the Deans or related staff directly. This may take time as staff must manually pull the information relating to courses from the old moodle system. Please see below for the procedure.<br><br />
<br />
==Procedure==<br />
Greetings Welcome to the Badlands Academy Campus Site B. How this works is as follows:<br />
<br />
1. Email the Dean of the College you are interested in with the course information of the exact course(s) you wish to take. [[Academy/Staff| Dean Informational Page]]<br><br><br />
<br />
2. The Dean will check to make sure the student is a member in good standing and any prerequisites (for example all members must take the New Member Exam in the Leadership College before taking any other courses).<br><br><br />
<br />
3. If all goes well the Dean will email the exam and links to any related source material to the student.<br><br><br />
<br />
4. Then the student sends back the answers to be manually graded by the Dean.<br><br><br />
<br />
5. Dean will then record the student in their own records, sending to the Deputy Commandant, and sending to Operations so the Database can be updated.<br><br><br />
<br />
6. While awards department will check known sources for awards for each member reguarly, it would behoove the member to notify awards department of new awards.<br><br><br />
<br />
7. If after 7 days from the date of email one has not heard from the Dean they are to contact the Deputy Commandant. If one has not heard from them in another 7 days they are to contact the Academy Admin Officer.<br><br><br />
<br />
8. If there is not an email listed for a Dean, one is to contact the Academy Admin Officer who will forward (with a CC to the student) the message to the proper party. [mailto:maquisgoddess@gmail.com Contact The Academy Maquis Reference Librarian]<br><br><br />

<br><br><br><br />
<font color=yellow><br />
<br />
The Maquis Forces International Honor Guard Project came about because of members desire to be of service to fandom and their communities. The MFI Honor Guard is now a Special Unit under the office of the Vice International Coordinator, as run by the Guard Coordinator and ably assisted by the Special Security Division, etc. This can take the form of being a visible sign of MFI at conventions and other public gatherings or for funerals, weddings, or other special occasions as requested. Their duties are divided into two camps. The first is the Flag Honor Guard, this member would participate in some type of flag ceremony wherein the Chapter, Zone, or MFI Flag(s) is(are) used. The second is the VIP Honor Escort or Security duty, this person would be the volunteer security for a VIP From MFI, one of her allies, or acting as security for an approved event. This is a work in progress as we get information on entry requirements and other details we will post accordingly. Please note information may change pretty regularly until construction is complete so check back often!</font><br><br><br><br />
<div align=left><br><br />
== Entry Requirements ==<br />

General Information: If there is no MFHG CO, whomever is administering the program. A fully qualified member appointed to lead per rules at the end is titled 'MFHG Commander' in absence of a MFHG Commander a Guard Coordinator is appointed to oversee. In the event there is neither, then the VIC assumes the duties of that office. For simplicity's sake only the term MFHG CO will be used in this document. This will mean whomever is responsible for immediate oversight. And all applications approved on a case by case basis by MFHG Commander(if there is one), the VIC(or designated representative), and MSA (or designated representative) as a sort of promotion board. All Academy Courses included promote skills related to the MFHG and promote skills or habits we want to support, like communications and professionalism that will help your membership in this program.

<br />
The Maquis Forces International Honor Guard Project came about because of members desire to be of service to fandom and their communities. The MFI Honor Guard is now a Special Unit under the office of the Vice International Coordinator, as run by the Guard Coordinator and ably assisted by the Special Security Division, etc. This can take the form of being a visible sign of MFI at conventions and other public gatherings or for funerals, weddings, or other special occasions as requested. Their duties are divided into two camps. The first is the Flag Honor Guard, this member would participate in some type of flag ceremony wherein the Chapter, Zone, or MFI Flag(s) is(are) used. The second is the VIP Honor Escort or Security duty, this person would be the volunteer security for a VIP From MFI, one of her allies, or acting as security for an approved event. This is a work in progress as we get information on entry requirements and other details we will post accordingly. Please note information may change pretty regularly until construction is complete so check back often!</font><br><br><br><br />

<br><br> <br> <br> '''Please Note'''<br />
<br />
Currently this page is in work. Learning from past mistakes, we intend to document a narrative of events during this campaign. Our ultimate goal is to give participation credit due to those who helped the campaign happen and come to at least a temporary conclusion. <br><br><br />
<br />
<font color=fuchsia>If you have information on Ships/Units that are participants, you may post to the attached discussion page.</font color> <br><br />
We need the: Ship/Cell Name, Member Name, Member Rank, Member Number, and any notes on the type or amount of participation. This is the Honor System, but we will verify claims as needed. Please only list those who participate in whatever way. <br><br />

== Prelude ==<br />
<br />
It has been six months since the withdrawal from Barkon IV. The Shipyards in the Badlands and the contract yards in the Andlaxia system have been working non-stop to repair the damage caused at Barkon IV.<br />
<br />
In that short time part of the fleet has recovered and some of the Fleet Marine Force units have received replacements. <br />
<br />
The factories that produce the mekks, tanks and starfighters have been hard pressed to fill the orders for replacement units.<br />
<br />
Across the Maquis frontier tensions are at a fever pitch as Orion Slave traders and other less than desirables have taken up the slack with the fleet crippled.<br />
<br />
The loss of General McBain five months ago was a killing blow to the already poor morale of the Maquis military.<br />

'''Fleet Marine Forces get new Commanding Officer'''<br><br />
<br />
Jacob Leonidas Willoughby<br><br />
Recently promoted to Brigadier General, Willoughby will be assuming the role of Commander of Fleet Marine Forces (the Post formerly held by the late MGen Rigel McBain). Although this is Willoughby’s first command assignment, he brings almost twenty four years of experience as a Marine Officer to his new post. (Willoughby has been the primary Instructor of Strategy and Tactics at the MFMC Academy for the past nine years).<br><br />

'''GAME MANAGER'S NOTE'''<br><br />
For this game, the "Rules of Warfare" are modified. Meaning that the ban on Orbital Bombardment (the attacking of ground targets by Starships) is lifted. The bad guys are doing it to us so, we're going to do it to them.<br><br />
<br />
<br />
Also. and this is '''VERY IMPORTANT''', Flag Officers (persons of the rank of Force Captain/Colonel and above) leading units in the field will have a percentile chance of being captured. This percentage raises with the type of mission. For example, a Flag Officer leading a Mekk Battalion would have a lower chance of capture than one would have leading a Special Force (SEALS, Recon, SOC Team). I would suggest creating an "Alter Ego" of a LOWER rate/rank, if you plan on leading your unit from the front.<br><br />

* Stardate 58593.21, Fri Aug 30 2382 06:18:21 (Central Standard Time)<br />
<br />
It has been 6 weeks since the Breen Invasion of Maquis space has been turned aside, and our troupes have barely had time to mourn their losses and begin repairs on damaged vessels and stations. We continue to repel attacks from Cardassians, Nausicaan Marauders and Orion Pirates at the borders of our various zones; but the strain is beginning to show on our forces, particularly our Romulan allies. I can only hope that their Daise'Enarrain, Galen Cretak, can hold them together enough to remain Legionnaires loyal to the cause of the Maquis. But there is something that makes me feel that even Galen is becoming even more distant and subversive from the rest of those who make up the Coordinator's Council, and this causes a small part of my mind to continue to niggle me with unease during the odd moments I get a short break from the duties at hand.<br />
<br />
One thing that does bring me a small amount of comfort is the news that COMM Angelsy sent via encryption that he has received word from my Warbirds on success in their classified mission. I am to meet with him - and his aide - within the next 36 hours, for a briefing on the 979th's findings... and I am told there is something very intriguing that they have to share with me.<br><br />
<br />
===MFS LIBERTY:===<br />
General Trentin Anara looked battered and bruised, as one of her engineers would say “a mile of bad road.” Tired and achy she just looked annoyed as one of her comms officers stood there, having just given her their new orders. The ship was as battered as her staff, the engineers roped in everyone they could trying to get the repairs completed that much sooner. There was a lot of cursing and movement as repairs proceeded at top speed. The battle for the planet was finally over, the ground had been retaken and the enemy fleet destroyed. Their members dead or captured. Trentin had been coordinating the ground response with other marine leaders when the new orders came in. For her eyes only. Knowing that couldn't be good she returned to the ship. <br><br><br />
<br />
The reason for the rush was in front of Trentin, she looked down at the PADD she'd translated. The Liberty with “several other Maquis assets” was being tasked to track down leads on regards to why their planet had been attacked. The orders were limited in detail, in case they were intercepted. She sighed, “Have the XO head to these coordinates at best speed as soon as our troops are on board.” The officer nodded and took off. “No rest for the weary or wicked..” she muttered removing her armor for the armorer to repair before the next time and there was always a next time.<br><br><br><br />
<br />
===TO: [Redacted]===<br />
*FROM: Maquis High Command, Office of the Coordinator.<br />
*SUBJECT: Orders.<br />
<br />
The following Maquis assets are hereby ordered to investigate leads in regards to the recent unprovoked attack by Breen forces. Coordinates enclosed.<br />
<br />
Maquis Assets: [Redacted].<br />
<br />
Signed T'pek O'Halloran<br />
Maquis Forces Coordinator.<br />
<br />
T'Pek leaned back in her chair as the orders were sent, she looked at the SSD officer across her desk, "The intel is sound?". The woman nodded, "Aye Ma'am..." the Coordinator sighed, "We've not seen the worst by far." She said somberly, wondering just how much further the plot went. At least the planet was secured and humanitarian aid was in enroute, T'pek turned her attention back to the tasks at hand as she worked to keep all the balls in the air.<br />
<br />
A little more than a week later found the Coordinator still at her desk, frustrated. She'd not seen her children in weeks in person and even her husbands good nature was a little frayed as they continued to hole up on the hidden space station. Her council seemed to be arguing more then usual and there was an odd tension. Something was off and she knew it. It could just be the strain of the constant attacks as everyone thought they'd have a go at the Maquis. So far they and their allies would holding up but this couldn't last forever. Or maybe the fact they couldn't meet in person instead using hologram technology since it was important they not all be gathered in one place. "Ma'am your council is ready to meet." Said an aide and T'pek steeled herself for another chaotic meeting that sometimes seemed to do nothing. The meeting she truly wanted with her intel agencies was afterward. She had better hopes that would turn out with more actionable information. She feared she would have to resort to even more unorthodox methods if her information did not improve.<br />
<br> <br> <br><br />
<br />
===MFS COMPLIANCE Task Force===<br />
While not the largest Maquis ship, MFS Compliance would certainly be in the top five ships/installations of the Maquis. Much smaller than most Borg vessels, Compliance is still quite capable and flexible as a virtual carrier/flagship/mobile station, serving as home to many smaller vessels attached to her Task Force. With a motley crew of Human and alien Maquis mixed with a smaller core of reformed, revenant Borg serving under ADM Ten-of-Nine, Compliance is not quite as powerful a force of assimilation and rejuvenation as she once was serving under the Borg Collective and single minded Vinculum coordination. The sole advantage is being able to freely choose a path to follow and serving the greater good outside of the collective. <br />
<br />
Normally Compliance Task Force maintains station closer to the core Maquis facilities during conflict. This time the Breen incursion that has been ongoing for several months now has left the normal front line Maquis Forces tired, wounded, and damaged. Many units have been called back for rest, replenishment, and refit. Others have been able to lick their wounds, patch together damages, and continue to pursue the enemy. <br />
<br />
After carefully considering the options and situation, ADM 10-of-9 has issued new orders: Compliance Task Force is to proceed to join, support, and resupply/rearm the pursuing fleet units as a mobile base of operations. <br />
<br />
On the Compliance Flag Suite, the Admiral scans several uber-top level classified intelligence reports from diverse sources, prisoner debriefings, medical reports, and summaries. Sealing the documents, he places his PADD aside, closes his eyes and sits in apparent mediation for several long minutes. Then he begins rapidly entering in individual taskings and orders to the fleet. If the situation is really as bad as it could be, who could be trusted? <br />

<br><br />
<font size=4>'''Game Notes'''</font><br />
<br />
<font color=#0040FF>1. In the basic game, each chapter chooses one of the below operations to take part in, whether you are gaming or writing fan fiction. Chapters may team up as they agree, but it is not necessary. You are quite free to run things from an independent point of view in this setting. The "objectives" listed in the operations simply flesh out the setting and viewpoints of the various roles, and provide prompts if you need them.<br />
<br />
2. As you can see, all sides have levels of complexity and shading that should make for interesting stories. Even though they're all Maquis, that doesn't necessarily mean they're all on the same side - they might even be working actively at cross-purposes to each other. It is optional that players/chapters - that agree - could in fact game against one another, and the outcomes of their game(s) would designate which aspect won out in the overall story. Even if they're both playing as good guys, then whoever loses simply lost against whatever bad guy they are fighting in the story. This uses the game as an abstraction of the contest between good and evil that solo-play can lose out on. Food for thought.<br />
<br />
3. You don't have to follow the prompts in your chosen operation - they are simply scenarios that fit the archetype. You are also free to write from a character that is not your normal persona in MFI - and, if you like, you may even choose more than one operation to take part in. Feel free to be creative.<br />

<br />
<font color=#ffffff>A low-key LDO this year, brought to you by yore ol' pallies in [[SOC|Special Operations Command]]. Arrrrrr, matey!</font><br />

<font color=#1C1C1C>If your chapter has a battle flag that you want to have listed here, provide a link on the discussion page.</font><br />
<br> <br><div align=left><br />
<br />
===EXPLANATION===<br />
<br />
<font color=#ffffff>I'm not going to step on other people's storylines... er... toes (well, too much). It occurred to me that there are plenty of piratical types in MFI, but we don't really have any fanfic or gaming that focuses on that aspect of the Maquis. Therefore, this year's LDO will be for all the ''pirates'' - the ''privateers'' - the ''commerce raiders'' that MFI has to offer. <br />
<br />
Just what is the difference in roles? Well, it has less to do with the activity and more with how official the... er... ''participants'' are: <br />
<br />
<br />
1. ''A '''pirate''' is a free enterprise. Unencumbered by any official relationship with governments, this has some advantages and disadvantages that any pirate movie buff will readily understand.'' <br />
<br />
<br />
2. ''A '''privateer''' is a privately outfitted ship whose crew and captain holds "Letters of Marque and Reprisal" - a license issued by a government to act on its behalf, usually in wartime. Sometimes derided as "licensed pirates" by their enemies, privateers were generally considered legal fighting participants in a war so long as they followed the rules of war, but if they stepped over the line, as it were, then they could be executed as pirates without much legal standing to protect them.''<br />
<br />
<br />
3. ''A '''commerce raider''' is entirely official... it is an actual naval vessel with a naval crew, undertaking the same role as a privateer. In case of capture, the crew would be protected by the rules of war vis POW status, and in turn, they would follow their country's sea laws on that matter with enemy crews.''<br />
<br />
<br />
So, in the grand tradition of the British and US privateers in the War of 1812, the CSS Alabama in the ACW, the SMS Emden in WWI, and the US and German submarine warfare in WWII, our Labor Day Offensive will be gamed with these roles in mind. '''Your chosen role is entirely up to you and your crew.''' <br />
<br />
There's something for any branch to do here... Special Operations can go into enemy ports and check up on worthwhile targets before they leave port, or "cut out" a ship or three and sail'em away. Naval and Marines would have the meat of the offensive in actually taking targets on the high seas... er... in open space, or countering enemy efforts along the same lines. SSD can hunt down leads and police the trade routes, working with the Navy to sweep clear enemy commerce raiders. The Romulans and Klingons certainly don't need my urging to add their own flavor to activities.</font><br />

For the good of the universe, and children everywhere, we must hold fast - we must fight the good fight. In this case, the good fight centers on the immense merchant fleet and wealth of the Florks, largely derived from rich deposits of dilithium in their native system. ''<br />
<br />
''War has not been declared, but we need dilithium. The Florks sell it at a nice premium, but we don't have the resources available to meet those prices. Therefore, your operational protocol will guide your chosen role in how you will overcome the lack of funds and thereby get us what we need.'' </font><br />

<br />
== OPERATIONAL PROTOCOLS ==<br />
<br />
===Objectives of '''Operation BUNNY HOP'''===<br />
<br />
<font color=red>Piracy role-play, with an alternate description of Florks and thereby justification for your actions (if you even need it).<br />
<br />
1. ''Rumoured to be an unholy spawn of tribbles and the vicious beasts of Caerbannog III, Florks display a variety of subhuman traits that have marked them for exploitation and victimization.'' <br />
<br />
2. ''For the good of the universe, and children everywhere, we must take what they have, and then run before those nosy do-gooders in the Federation show up to stop us.''<br />
<br />
3. ''It'll be easier than taking candy from a baby - a baby would cry after all, and once we're done with these characters, all we have to do is space the less valuable prisoners and ransom the more important ones. Profit all 'round for every man jack of us - or woman jill as the case may be.''<br />
<br />
4. ''We'd better stay below the radar of even the people supposedly on our side, because they'd be better off not knowing how we got our supply - but we can still sell it to them at our own premium - undercutting the competition... that we're literally cutting to pieces.''</font><br />
<br />
[[Image:IncomingSubspace2.jpg|center]]<br />
<br />
===Objectives of '''Operation FRICASSEED RABBIT'''===<br />
<br />
<font color=orange>Privateer role-play<br />
<br />
1. ''While war has not been declared, for as yet unknown reason there has been growing hostility between the Flork systems and the Maquis Forces.'' <br />
<br />
2. ''Therefore, the Maquis Forces leadership has offered "Letters of Marque and Reprisal" to captains and investors interested in outfitting their own privately-funded raiders. This will save the Maquis Forces the exorbitant expense of sending in naval forces for such a trifling matter.''<br />
<br />
3. ''A special "Prize Court" has been set up to condemn prizes taken by legal privateers, that is, buy at fair market price any ship and cargo captured legally, according to the stipulations of the Letters of Marque - a legally-binding contract that the enemy may not even choose to recognize.''</font><br />
<br />
[[Image:IncomingSubspace2.jpg|center]]<br />
<br />
===Objectives of '''Operation WABBIT SLAYER'''===<br />
<br />
Commerce Raider role-play, the Lawful Neutral faction in the Maquis Forces after war is finally declared.<br />
<br />
1. ''After the debacle of piracy revealed as the'' casus belli ''between the '''Florkian Unified Commonwealth and Kingdom''' and the '''Maquis Forces''', we are now forced to openly counter-declare a war with a tiny power that has no chance against us, with the meddlesome Federation waiting in the wings to interfere. It's embarrassing enough that we're painted as the bad guys in this...'' unfortunate ''diplomatic incident, however, even more unfortunately... we'' are ''the bad guys.''<br />
<br />
2. ''Therefore, ever a people to turn "diplomatic incident" into "favorable opportunity", now we can openly raid for dilithium and other cargo using proper military forces.''<br />
<br />
3. ''Since really only the Federation will show up to help the Florks, because the Klingons don't like tribbles, the Romulans are more likely to provide competition with our depredations for a chance to embarrass the Feddies, and the Cardassians hate both sides so much that they won't touch this with a ten light-year pole, we will not have to invest a large force in order to get what we need.''<br />
<br />
4. ''That said, even with'' victory assured ''if we resorted to standard military tactics, a victory would be bad for business... it's much better to spin this thing out, dodge the Federation, and get as much dilithium as we can, now that we already have the expense of war. We must balance the needs of "harvesting" resources against the possibility that one or more other Great Powers will feel sorry for the Florks and come to their assistance. That would be bad for us.'' <br />
<br />
[[Image:IncomingSubspace2.jpg|center]]<br />
<br />
===Objectives of '''Operation OVER KILL'''===<br />
<br />
<font color=green>30th Hunter/Killer Squadron role-play... the "cops": the Lawful Good faction in the Maquis Forces after war is finally declared.<br />
<br />
1. ''Friendly or unfriendly, if they're pirates, we're bringing them in. If they won't face justice in the courts of our systems, then they will face the next world at the muzzles of our phaser banks and torpedo arrays.''<br />
<br />
2. ''Honor, professionalism, and yes, even dirty under-handed tactics like the use of spies and saboteurs will help us to achieve our goal: to rid our space of pirates and enemy combat fleets.''<br />
<br />
3. ''Apparently the actions of people on our side started this war; this makes it our responsibility to end it with all dispatch. Too bad we cannot draw upon the full strength of the Maquis Forces. Heh, politicians... truly the scum of the universe. You'd almost think they weren't actually trying to'' win. </font><br />

In the basic game, each chapter chooses one of the below operations to take part in, whether you are gaming or writing fan fiction. Chapters may team up as they agree, but it is not necessary. You are quite free to run things from an independent point of view in this setting. The "objectives" listed in the operations simply flesh out the setting and viewpoints of the various roles, and provide prompts if you need them.<br />
<br />
All operations are fairly open to interpretation and offer a variety of interesting stories, depending on what you and/or your team might wish to pursue. You don't have to follow the prompts in your chosen operation - they are simply scenarios that fit the archetype. You are also free to write from a character that is not your normal persona in MFI - and, if you like, you may even choose more than one operation to take part in. Feel free to be creative. And if you choose to take part by working with our honored (or even another) charity, please let us know what you did, who participated with you, and what charity it was if not our honored one.<br />

== TACTICAL BRIEFING ==<br />
<br />
===THE ENEMY===<br />
<br />
[[Image:JemHadarSoldiers.jpg|350px|left]] <font color=#FA5882>A Jem Hadar attack group, starting their operations by boarding and taking control of a Gorn colony cruiser, managed to gain entry to Maquis space and have begun systematic annihilation of colonists within the Lethras star system, and it is suspected they will use that as a staging base to do the same with the rest of the Maquis.<br />
Maquis Forces are cautioned against countering this threat via physical force. If unarmed confrontation is avoidable, do so: - shoot to kill ''always''! Do not attempt to overcome these forces without VERY heavy weaponry. Even Klingon disruptors and Bat'leth have been noted to have little effect on their tough hide.</font><br />
<br />
<font color=white size=1>Informational Source: SOC Xenobiology Directorate ''"Finding new and interesting species to kill in new and interesting ways"''</font><br />
<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br />
<font color=white size=3>'''Enemy nation:'''</font><font color=#FA5882 size=3> ''The Dominion''</font><br><br />
<font color=white size=3>'''Species name:'''</font><font color=#FA5882 size=3> ''Jem'Hadar''</font><br><br />
<font color=white size=3>'''Expected level of resistance:'''</font><font color=#FA5882 size=3> ''Heavy''</font><br><br />
<font color=white size=3>'''Fleet composition:'''</font><font color=#FA5882 size=3><br><br />
''Attack Fleet:'' Unknown – 2 War ships, 4 Battle Cruisers and 24 Strike ships verified entering Maquis space.<br><br />
[[Image:JemHadarShip.jpg|350px|center]]<br />
<br />
<font color=white size=3>'''Basic description:'''</font><font color=#FA5882 size=3> ''A genetically-engineered humanoid race from the Gamma Quadrant, the Jem'Hadar were the military arm of the Dominion and one of the most powerful military forces in the galaxy during their time.'' <br />
<br />
''Jem'Hadar are designed to have excellent vision and strength several times greater than Humans. They also have the ability to "shroud" themselves (a form of camouflage that acts as a personal cloaking field) effectively hiding them and their weapons from both sensors and the naked eye. However, they have to drop this effect when attacking.''<br />
<br />
''Uniforms – Jem'Hadar uniforms allow their wearers to be almost completely unaffected by many forms of anti-personnel force field.<br />
Weaponry - Jem'Hadar carry plasma weapons in both rifle and pistol variants, capable of firing lethal disruptor bursts with anti-coagulants that are designed to slowly kill their enemies if the burst itself does not. The weapons have at least two other settings: they are able to stun, and to fire a more powerful burst capable of vaporizing a humanoid target.<br />
Melee Weapons - In close quarters, Jem'Hadar prefer the kar'takin, a type of two-handed pole-arm axe. They also carry combat knives.'' </font><br />

<br />
== OPERATIONAL PROTOCOLS ==<br />
<br />
===Objective of '''Operation: Modus Sabateur'''===<br />
<br />
<font color=red>Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure; life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.<br />
<br />
''For those seeking to make a name for themselves or wishing to prove something (to themselves or others), this is a perfect way to do so. As a solo operative, or part of a team, your task is to find your way aboard enemy ships to find ways to sabotage them while gaining more information about the vessels and Dominion forces that our Intelligence can analyze and disseminate accordingly.'' <br />
<br />
A. Write an after-action report about the ship systems, schematics, enemy fighting style or weaponry that were encountered.<br />
<br />
B. Offer detailed scans or images showing the design of the enemy vessel's engineering, or reverse engineer enemy weaponry that you are able to abscond with.<br />
<br />
C. Remain in communicator and transporter range, and present a verbal/visual record of the details aboard ship, noting weaknesses in their designs or shipboard operations once your mission is complete.</font><br />
<br />
[[Image:IncomingSubspace2.jpg|center]]<br />
<br />
===Objective of '''Operation: Midnight Run'''===<br />
<br />
<font color=orange>At the end of the day, the goals are simple: safety and security.<br />
<br />
''As part of the ground forces operation for the Lethras system, you are charged with the extraction and evacuation of civilians, and the attempt to recover lost ground of the Jem'Hadar forces if at all possible. If not, then your mission is to make the enemy understand that taking more ground is too high a price to continue to pay – through means of ambush, ensnarement and sabotage.'' <br />
<br />
A. Draw up a battle plan for your given area of the arid, rocky world of Lethras, include contingencies for meeting with a civilian element in your write-up.<br />
<br />
B. Offer a report of the skirmish you and your team had with enemy forces, including details of numbers, weaponry used by both sides, and any injury or casualty reports.<br />
<br />
C. Present the communications (and/or video) log of your team's efforts on Lethras for HQ to review, so that we might know what weaponry, snares, and methods of entrapment, fortifications or maneuvers worked against enemy forces.</font><br />
<br />
[[Image:IncomingSubspace2.jpg|center]]<br />
<br />
===Objective of '''Operation: Pied Piper'''===<br />
<br />
<font color=green>Children are gifts, they remind us of what is important.<br />
<br />
''One of the primary duties of the Maquis Naval Forces is that of protecting colonies and ships within our held territory of space. To this end, a convoy of civilian Gorn transports, on their way to the Lethras system, has taken heavy damage from the Jem'Hadar strike ships, and are now drifting somewhere off-course in the eddies and wakes of the Badlands. Many of these ships carry non-combative citizenry, their children and even a few hatchery ships. It is your duty to locate these ships and attempt to mount a rescue.''<br />
<br />
A. Present a record of account from the moment you began your search for the lost convoy to the point of rescue and return to base, include what methods were suggested, tried, failed and succeeded. Include what types of ships were encountered and colonists rescued, and if you were working alone or with other vessels or any specialized teams.<br />
<br />
B. Share a diagram (or drawing) of your intended procedure that you will implement in the search and rescue operations.<br />
<br />
C. Send a recording of your subspace transmissions with the ship your crew (attempts to/manages to) rescue. In this way HQ may study the operation, and utilize it to test future MFI officers in similar procedures.<br />
<br />
[[Image:IncomingSubspace2.jpg|center]]<br />
<br />
===Objective of '''Operation Death Shroud'''===<br />
<br />
<font color=white>I believe in endings that should suggest our stories always continue. <br />
<br />
''We knew it was only a matter of time before the Dominion sent shock troops to attempt to wipe us out. It is in our best interest to make them believe they have done so. Staging particular battles and colonies with information that will be leaked to their operatives, we will allow them to hit these places and offer pitched battles where it looks as if there were no survivors. In this way, we may find ourselves at peace, at least for a time, allowing us to rebuild our numbers and defenses while our enemies believe we have been obliterated.''<br />
<br />
A. Are you an operative, or team – or ship – that has leaked false information about the fall of the Maquis to the enemy? How so? Please give details in a story, or holo-novel, or even over a drink in 10 Forward.<br />
<br />
B. Have you changed your identity, and are now infiltrating the Federation's (Or some other Empire's) shipping lanes? What cosmetic surgery or implants have you had, and who did the work? Put together a referral list, or hook us up with some new fake I.D. Cards, too!<br />
<br />
C. Are you someone who has helped with the relocation and redistribution effort? HQ will need the only surviving record of your log so that we can have that information (specially locked and secured as EYES ONLY material) for our top level security personnel.</font><br />

<font color=white size=3>'''Basic description:'''</font><font color=#FA5882 size=3> ''A genetically-engineered humanoid race from the Gamma Quadrant, the Jem'Hadar were the military arm of the Dominion and one of the most powerful military forces in the galaxy during their time.'' <br />
<br />
''Jem'Hadar are designed to have excellent vision and strength several times greater than Humans. They also have the ability to "shroud" themselves (a form of camouflage that acts as a personal cloaking field) effectively hiding them and their weapons from both sensors and the naked eye. However, they have to drop this effect when attacking.''<br />
<br />
''Uniforms – Jem'Hadar uniforms allow their wearers to be almost completely unaffected by many forms of anti-personnel force field.<br />
Weaponry - Jem'Hadar carry plasma weapons in both rifle and pistol variants, capable of firing lethal disruptor bursts with anti-coagulants that are designed to slowly kill their enemies if the burst itself does not. The weapons have at least two other settings: they are able to stun, and to fire a more powerful burst capable of vaporizing a humanoid target.<br />
Melee Weapons - In close quarters, Jem'Hadar prefer the kar'takin, a type of two-handed pole-arm axe. They also carry combat knives.'' </font><br />

<br />
== OPERATIONAL PROTOCOLS ==<br />
<br />
===Objective of '''Operation: Modus Sabateur'''===<br />
<br />
<font color=red>Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure; life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.<br />
<br />
''For those seeking to make a name for themselves or wishing to prove something (to themselves or others), this is a perfect way to do so. As a solo operative, or part of a team, your task is to find your way aboard enemy ships to find ways to sabotage them while gaining more information about the vessels and Dominion forces that our Intelligence can analyze and disseminate accordingly.'' <br />
<br />
A. Write an after-action report about the ship systems, schematics, enemy fighting style or weaponry that were encountered.<br />
<br />
B. Offer detailed scans or images showing the design of the enemy vessel's engineering, or reverse engineer enemy weaponry that you are able to abscond with.<br />
<br />
C. Remain in communicator and transporter range, and present a verbal/visual record of the details aboard ship, noting weaknesses in their designs or shipboard operations once your mission is complete.</font><br />
<br />
[[Image:IncomingSubspace2.jpg|center]]<br />
<br />
===Objective of '''Operation: Midnight Run'''===<br />
<br />
<font color=orange>At the end of the day, the goals are simple: safety and security.<br />
<br />
''As part of the ground forces operation for the Lethras system, you are charged with the extraction and evacuation of civilians, and the attempt to recover lost ground of the Jem'Hadar forces if at all possible. If not, then your mission is to make the enemy understand that taking more ground is too high a price to continue to pay – through means of ambush, ensnarement and sabotage.'' <br />
<br />
A. Draw up a battle plan for your given area of the arid, rocky world of Lethras, include contingencies for meeting with a civilian element in your write-up.<br />
<br />
B. Offer a report of the skirmish you and your team had with enemy forces, including details of numbers, weaponry used by both sides, and any injury or casualty reports.<br />
<br />
C. Present the communications (and/or video) log of your team's efforts on Lethras for HQ to review, so that we might know what weaponry, snares, and methods of entrapment, fortifications or maneuvers worked against enemy forces.</font><br />
<br />
[[Image:IncomingSubspace2.jpg|center]]<br />
<br />
===Objective of '''Operation: Pied Piper'''===<br />
<br />
<font color=green>Children are gifts, they remind us of what is important.<br />
<br />
''One of the primary duties of the Maquis Naval Forces is that of protecting colonies and ships within our held territory of space. To this end, a convoy of civilian Gorn transports, on their way to the Lethras system, has taken heavy damage from the Jem'Hadar strike ships, and are now drifting somewhere off-course in the eddies and wakes of the Badlands. Many of these ships carry non-combative citizenry, their children and even a few hatchery ships. It is your duty to locate these ships and attempt to mount a rescue.''<br />
<br />
A. Present a record of account from the moment you began your search for the lost convoy to the point of rescue and return to base, include what methods were suggested, tried, failed and succeeded. Include what types of ships were encountered and colonists rescued, and if you were working alone or with other vessels or any specialized teams.<br />
<br />
B. Share a diagram (or drawing) of your intended procedure that you will implement in the search and rescue operations.<br />
<br />
C. Send a recording of your subspace transmissions with the ship your crew (attempts to/manages to) rescue. In this way HQ may study the operation, and utilize it to test future MFI officers in similar procedures.<br />
<br />
[[Image:IncomingSubspace2.jpg|center]]<br />
<br />
===Objective of '''Operation Death Shroud'''===<br />
<br />
<font color=white>I believe in endings that should suggest our stories always continue. <br />
<br />
''We knew it was only a matter of time before the Dominion sent shock troops to attempt to wipe us out. It is in our best interest to make them believe they have done so. Staging particular battles and colonies with information that will be leaked to their operatives, we will allow them to hit these places and offer pitched battles where it looks as if there were no survivors. In this way, we may find ourselves at peace, at least for a time, allowing us to rebuild our numbers and defenses while our enemies believe we have been obliterated.''<br />
<br />
A. Are you an operative, or team – or ship – that has leaked false information about the fall of the Maquis to the enemy? How so? Please give details in a story, or holo-novel, or even over a drink in 10 Forward.<br />
<br />
B. Have you changed your identity, and are now infiltrating the Federation's (Or some other Empire's) shipping lanes? What cosmetic surgery or implants have you had, and who did the work? Put together a referral list, or hook us up with some new fake I.D. Cards, too!<br />
<br />
C. Are you someone who has helped with the relocation and redistribution effort? HQ will need the only surviving record of your log so that we can have that information (specially locked and secured as EYES ONLY material) for our top level security personnel.</font><br />

<font color="cyan">'''[[MFI International Awards]]:''' </font color>An award for which the Awards Division determines the criteria and representation. Awards can be Academy or Service based awards. Academy awards are authorized by confirmation of a passing grade on a particular exam by the Academy Commandant. Service awards are awarded by their individual criteria established by the Awards Division. <br><br />
<br><br />
<font color="cyan">'''[[Department Level Awards]]:'''</font color>An award for which the head of the Department determines the criteria and representation of their awards. Ther are currently no internationally controled ribbons for this level.<br> <br />
<br><br />
<font color="cyan">'''[[Branch Level Awards]]:'''</font color>An award for which the head of the Branch determines the criteria and representation save for the representation of the ribbons listed.<br> <br />
<br><br />
<font color="cyan">'''[[Zone Level Awards]]:'''</font color> An award for which the Zone Coordinator determines the criteria and representation save for the representation of the ribbons listed.<br> <br />
<br><br />
<font color="cyan">'''[[Chapter Level Awards]]:'''</font color> An award for which the Chapter Chairperson or Chapter Designee(s) determine the criteria and representation save for the representation of the ribbons listed. <br><br />
<br><br />
<font color="cyan">'''Types of awards:''' </font color>There are four basic types of awards authorized by the MFI. <br><br />
<br><br />
<font color="cyan">Medals</font color> - MFI is currently negotiating to produce our own medals. MFI does recognize those medals earned by members from other International Groups (I.G.'s). Wearing of other I.G.'s medals is authorized for MFI members. Refer to the issuing group for their order of precedence, following the MFI model below. <br><br />
<br><br />
<font color="cyan">Ribbons</font color> - MFI produces ribbons using those from various sources (see [[Ribbon Construction]]). Although these are real ribbons from either the Civil Air Patrol or from the US Military, we take great effort to alter the "base" ribbon so as to avoid the appearance that we as an organization are mis-representing ourselves by wearing these existing ribbons. Since these become unique to MFI, these are "legal" for our members to then wear as they do not exist in their final form elsewhere.<br><br />
<br><br />
<font color="cyan">Devices</font color> - Devices are obtained from the sources below and although are the actual devices used by the Civil Air Patrol and the US Military, we either use them in different manners, combinations, and ribbons or they are common enough in various groups to again avoid the appearance that we are misrepresenting ourselves.<br><br />
<br><br />
<font color="cyan">Paper Certificates</font color> - Using this method of award gives MFI the freedom of expression through free formats as decided upon by the awarding authority. Those awarding authorities should adhere to standards which don't conflict with other authorities on a peer to peer level to avoid confusion (i.e. Coordinator Council (CC) awards should resemble those issued by other CC members' awards. Branches have more freedom since they are entities unto themselves, however, they should adhere to some pre-agreed on general format. Chapters can choose whichever format they choose and enjoy the broadest form of freedom of expression.<br><br />

WORK IN PROGRESS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE.<br><br><br />

=== Introduction ===<br />
<font size="2"><br />
"That's the thing about faith... if you don't have it, you can't understand it and If you do, no explanation is necessary."-Colonel Kira Nerys of Bajor. (DS9: Accession)<br><br><br />
"I've always found that when people try to convince others of their beliefs it's because they're really just trying to convince themselves."-Colonel Kira Nerys of Bajor. (DS9: Covenant)<br><br><br />
<br />
Welcome seeker to the Way of the Prophets and to the religious home of our spiritual leader, the Kai. Please come and go in peace. <br />
From here one can learn a great many topics from The Prophets themselves to Cult of the Pah-wraiths, this library in the Kai's Monastery is meant to tell one all they could wish to know about the Bajoran religion. It is a rich and ancient tradition that is in everything Bajorans do. It is their strength in times of trouble, it helps to guide them, and draw them together as a people. Should our library be incomplete please notify [mailto:maquisgoddess@gmail.com maquisgoddess@g....com] as soon as possible.<br />
<br />
= The Prophets =<br />
<br><br />
The Prophets are central to Bajoran religion, all else is built around them. They are non-corporeal extra-dimensional entities found only, thus far, in the Celestial Temple in the Bajoran System. <br><br><br />
[[Image:180px-Prophet_noncorporeal.jpg|250px]]<br><br><br />
As one can see the Prophet above in its natural state looks very close to the Orbs they sent to communicate with Bajor, just something interesting to note.<br />
<br />
The Prophets' origins remain unknown; however, they have identified themselves as being "of Bajor", Some scholars believe this means that they have always been there to guide Bajor as long as there was a Bajor. This would indicate that they are older then can known and perhaps even had a role in Bajor coming into existing. Maybe they were among the first in this plane of existence, the speculation is endless. Others feel that when Bajor was created the Prophets were created, and still others believe that the Prophets created Bajor from a part of themselves. This is a debate that continues in some scholar circles though for many their origins isn't as important as the fact of their existence. <br />
<br />
In their natural state, the Prophets appear as blue translucent energy capable of swift movement throughout any environment. When communicating with visitors in their own domain, defined as a vision inside the mind of a sentient or the Celestial Temple or pretty much any setting that takes place in a similar energy plane of existence. The Prophets are able to take the appearance of someone familiar to them by probing the corporeal individual consciousness when speaking to them inside the mind. For instance, when first encountered in "person" by Starfleet Commander Benjamin Sisko in 2369, the Prophets appeared to take the form of people from his past and present – including his wife Jennifer Sisko, son Jake Sisko, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and his alter ego Locutus of Borg against whom Sisko had once fought, as well as the Vulcan Captain of the USS Saratoga on which Sisko had served, and Kai Opaka. They do this in order that the one to whom they wish to speak can better relate to them. After all, one can relate better to a former teacher, for example, then a strange being. Being translucent energy and highly telepathic, it is logistically easy for them to speak to and know the mind of those to whom they communicate. Though with them being on a different plane of normal existence it is not always easy to understand their will or for them to understand corporeal limits. Communication is less then easy sometimes.<br />
<br />
In normal space, that is to say in the corporeal universe, the Prophets can only physically communicate with outsiders by possessing a body and using it as a vessel. The host is conscious of what is happening but has no control over its actions. One notable instance of this was when a Prophet and Pah-Wraith invaded the bodies of Col. Kira Nerys of Bajor and Jake Sisco, son of the Emissary; respectively. They were both aware but unable to affect the outcome. This was to be an epic battle of good verses evil but was interrupted. More on Pah-Wraith and this battle later in this document. <br />
Though for the most part they choose to communicate via orbs they sent to Bajor. More on the orbs and how they work in a later section. To add to the confusion when communicating, the Prophets have no sense of linear time, this could be due at least in part to their incorporeal nature. All that is, was, will be simply is. They live outside of the normal space-time continuum; however their existence has been recorded on Bajor for at least 30,000 years in linear time.<br />
<br />

[[Image:Wormhole1.jpg|250px]]<br><br><br />
<br />
The terminus nearest to the Federation is located in the Denorios belt in the Bajoran system, and crosses some 70,000 light years to a point near the Idran system in the Gamma Quadrant. <br><br />
Bajoran historical records indicate that the wormhole has most likely been in existence for at least the past 10,000 years. It is not known if their home there began 10,000 years ago or just that's when it became known, though it is believed the Prophets (or Wormhole Aliens) are older than 10,000 years. It is through here that the orbs used by the Prophets to communicate best with Bajor have be sent from. The 'Wormhole' as it is also known, avoided notice because it's area was so lightly traveled. It wasn't until 2369 when Commander Benjamin Sisko and science officer Lieutenant Jadzia Dax of the UFP investigated the many reported anomalies in the area aboard the runabout Rio Grande, and became the official discoverers of the wormhole. Shortly thereafter, space station Deep Space 9 was relocated to a position near the Bajor terminus of the wormhole. This was done as it would be seen as greatly advantageous to the Bajorans to be there.<br><br><br />
<br />
No one knows exactly what the nature of the wormhole is but for the Prophets it is a place out of time and shares the space bending ability so important in cutting travel time. While deeper issues may not be understood its basic operation as a wormhole is well documented.<br><br><br />

Below is a picture of the Verteron Nodes in the Temple. Verterons are subatomic particles, they allow ships to safely travel while under impulse power and travel at the speed of faster then light. A node is simply a significant concentration of verteron particles and the Temple has the highest concentration in the known universe.<br><br><br />
<div align="center"><br />
[[Image:Verteron nodes, Playing god.jpg|300px]]<br><br />
<br />
The nature of these Verterons are that they help protect and speed ships along but can also overload ships field coils, dropping them out of warp and interfere with sensors but only in sufficient density. The Bajoran Wormhole is stable and quite safe. <br><br><br />
<br />
It has been further observed that highly elevated levels of neutrinos are present when then Temple opens to allow passage. These are detectable by current technology and is an aid to Deep Space Nine when giving advanced notice of incoming ships from the Temple/Wormhole. It is believed that it has no connection to safe passage, merely a facet of travel.<br><br><br />

<br />
It is worth pointing out that the Celestial Temple is the only known stable 'wormhole' in the whole of the known universe. Some scholars believe its because its monitored by the Prophets/Wormhole Aliens. Regardless on if one calls it the Celestial Temple or Bajoran Wormhole its beauty and rarity make it one of the wonders of the known galaxy.<br><br />

<br />
= The Orbs =<br />
<br><br />
Earlier communications had been discussed, a report on communication with the Prophets would not be complete without information on the Orbs of Bajor. Bajoran history has documented the discovery of nine orbs found in orbit of Bajor over the last 10,000 years; however, it has been suggested from recent archaeological finds that the Bajorans received their first orb at least 30,000 years ago. The orbs appear to the resemble hourglass energy fields but more solid and may produce intense metaphysical experiences to those who come in contact with them. <br />
<br />
However, the orbs only react to a limited number of individuals and it continues to be a mystery as to what conditions must be met for a vision to be experienced. Some believe that the Prophets do not wish every Bajoran to be reliant on them for every decision and so only make themselves known to a chosen few for certain things. In all cases however it seemed to relate to Bajor's future or some personal enlightenment. In some cases lapsed visions have been known as a side-effect (in some instances even months later) This are known as Orb Shadows, more likely to be due to not learning from the vision then anything else. The ancient Bajorans who found the orbs named them based upon the kind of vision they induced, it seems that each orb is meant for a type of enlightenment or person. Many early encounters with them were recorded and, over time, became the basis of many ancient Bajoran prophesies. These were ultimately responsible for the founding of the Bajoran faith as it is known today, based upon the worship of the Prophets as their gods. <br />
<br />
The orbs thus far have defied science as no objective analysis have been possible. Also note that while Bajor got many of their orbs back after the Occupation was over, it was through other agencies and not directly given to them by the Cardassians. The Cardassians took all they could find away for study during the Occupation, though their purpose continued to elude them. They did not seem detectable by current equipment nor did it seem to work for the Cardassians that held it.<br />
<br />
Unlike the Prophets themselves, the Orbs are not purely energy fields, they do have a physical presence. Something actual a person could grasp. And not all orbs were complete in their hourglass forms. At some point in Bajoran history, a fragment of an unknown orb serves as the jewel in a bracelet. This bracelet was kept in Faren Kag's village on Bajor, where it was wielded by the Sirah. The Sirah is the Bajoran name for the leader and storyteller of the aforementioned village. The Sirah would use this bracelet to create a creature called the Dal'Rok, and focus the collective mental energy of the villagers to defeat it. The story goes that the first Sirah, seeing that the people of the village fought all the time, used the bracelet in the manner described above. Each year, the Dal'Rok would appear for five nights and threaten to destroy the village unless the people united. Whenever it appeared, the people believed the Sirah accomplished this by "telling the story" of how the village was stronger than the Dal'Rok, thus giving the impression that he controlled it when in fact the people themselves did so. <br />
This would seem to confirm the telepathic nature of the Orbs. And that at least in this case the fragment was able to act as a focus and take the energy of the peoples very thoughts and make it a reality. And though it could be felt and experienced it was undetectable by tricorders as proven in the historical record of DS9 titled 'Storyteller'. There was wind and storm at one point but equipment could not detect it, however it was reality for not only the villagers but two visiting Starfleet Officers, Chief Miles O'Brian and Dr. Julian Bashier, who would have had no reason to believe in the stories told to them by the villagers. Yet they experienced the same thing as the life long believers, indicating it was a real presence. Though like much with the prophets, it continues to defy science.<br />

<br><br><br />
During the Cardassian Occupation of Bajor all but one of the orbs was removed from Bajor by the Occupying forces. The one that remained was called the Orb of Prophecy, kept first by Kai Opaka then by Vedik Bareil. It was this orb that Kai Opaka consulted with and showed to the Emissary, Captain Benjamin Sisko when he arrived in the Bajoran System.<br><br />

The Orb of Prophecy and Change<br />
<br><br />
<div align="left"> <br />
Important notes on this orb:<br><br />
*It is this orb that relates most future visions.<br><br />
*In 2370, Vedek Bareil consulted the Orb during the final days of the election for the next Kai.<br><br />
*In 2373, Captain Sisko experienced a plasma burst leaving him with pagh'tem'far, or prophetic visions. In order to bring his visions into focus, he had an encounter with the Orb of Prophecy. <br><br />
*In 2375, Kai Winn Adami attempted to consult the Orb of Prophecy, but it would not reveal anything to her. This is used by certain persons to support the idea that Kai Winn was a not a true Kai. More on that thought in the Pah-Wraith section.<br><br />
<br><br><br />
<br />
<br />
Orb of Contemplation:<br><br />
[[Image:180px-Orb_of_contemplation.jpg|250px]]<br />
<br><br />
Most relating to meditation it was kept on DS9 after the Occupation. It was the orb used by the Pah-Wraith, in the form of a Cardassian called Dukat to strike a blow against the Prophets and the Bajoran People. After fatally wounded Lt. Jadiza Dax in 2374 the Pah-Wraith left Dukat's body and went into the orb, causing all orbs to go dark and the Celestial Temple to disappear, more in this event under the Pah-Wraith section. Bajorans across the galaxy were terrified that the Prophets had forsaken them.<br />
below is an example of a Dark Orb.<br><br />
[[Image:180px-Dark_orb.jpg|200px]]<br />
<br><br><br />
But the Prophets are nothing if not careful, they always have a back up. This back up took the form of:<br><br />
<br><br />
<div align="center"><br />
Orb of the Emissary:<br><br />
[[Image:180px-Orb_of_the_Emissary.jpg|250px]]<br />
<div align="left"><br />
<br><br />
The tenth orb that would restart them all months later. <br />
It was originally believed that only nine orbs existed. This tenth ended up buried in a desert on Tyree and it can only be opened by the Emissary. Captain Sisko went on a great quest to find this orb after <br />
The Sisko, as the Prophets called him, received a series of visions that allowed him to locate the orb in 2375 . Once he knew what he was looking for, he was attacked by a member of a Bajoran cult that believed that the Pah-wraiths were the true prophets. <br />
While attempting to retrieve it, Sisko was sent a vision by the Pah-Wraiths trying to trick him but he prevailed in the end.<br />
When the box containing the orb was opened, the Prophet that had previously inhabited Sarah Sisko's body was released from it. The Prophet returned to the wormhole, cast the Pah-wraith out, and restored the wormhole and the other orbs.<br><br><br />
<br />
But these were not the only orbs, there were more. One of these was the Orb of Time. A most dangerous orb it could act as a time machine if that was the will of the Prophets.<br />
In 2373, the Detapa Council, the ruling council of the Cardassian Union, returned the Orb to the Bajoran people. By way of the USS Defiant. During its return trop, the Defiant was transported 105 years into the past by Arne Darvin, who sought to change the future of his younger self by assassinating James T. Kirk. Although there were some minor alterations to the timeline as a result, Kira Nerys was able to use the Orb to return the Defiant to its proper place in space-time. <br />
Once the Orb returned to Bajor, it was kept at the Temple of Iponu. In 2374, Kira used the Orb of Time to travel back to 2346, to investigate the nature of the relationship between her mother, Kira Meru, and Gul Dukat. Once she learned what she needed to know, the Orb brought her back to the present. As one can see in both cases good came of the trips, they stopped much possible destruction the first time and the second was a way to help one of Bajora learn more deeply essential truths.<br><br />
<br />
[[Image:180px-Orb_of_time.jpg|250px]]<br />
Orb of Time<br />
<br><br><br />
But it isn't just Bajorans and the Emissary who benefited from the Wisdom of the Prophets. One of the largest examples of a non-Bajoran being affected by an Orb is when in 2371, it was being held on Cardassia III. That was where Grand Nagus Zek 'acquired' it. He later took it into the wormhole to contact the Prophets, hoping that their ability to exist out of space-time would enable him to make substantial profit. As one can see the narrow focus was a bit misleading. After all if he had bothered to value anything but monetary gain he would of known that the Wormhole Aliens/Prophets were not going to help him in this goal. As it was the Prophets found this to be confusing and somehow changed Zek's attitude to that of the Ferengi of thousands of years ago. At this time they were less profit driven and Zek did things like want to give the Orb back to the Bajorans for Free. This did not go over well with other Ferengi but this helps explain the sudden change in Fergeni culture and policies after this date. Though he was restored to his older self by the Prophets, Quark managed to convince them it was a good idea, the door was open to a new type of Ferengi or should it be said an old type. <br><br />
[[Image:Orb_of_wisdom.jpg|250px]]<br />
<br><br><br />
The others are not as well known but they are:<br />
<br />
1.The Orb of Memory<br><br />
2.The Orb of Destiny<br><br />
3.The Orb of Truth<br><br />
4.The Orb of Souls<br><br />
5.The Orb of Unity<br><br />
<br />
The ones not listed are no less important, it is simply that the ones above were of special note during the events relating to the Emissary and therefore of special interest to Bajoran religion scholars. Though some students of the orbs feel that the fragment in the Sirah Bracelet is somehow connected to the the Orbs of Memory, Souls, or Unity. Perhaps it had broken off, who knows. While others feel it is part of an orb all it's own. It is a great debate that is waged in circles of Bajoran religious academia. Still the Prophets did try different ways to communicate with the Bajorans. Another method was via prophecy, though that too had its difficulties.<br />

Welcome seeker to the Way of the Prophets and to the religious home of our spiritual leader, the Kai. Please come and go in peace. <br />
From here one can learn a great many topics from The Prophets themselves to Cult of the Pah-wraiths, this library in the Kai's Monastery is meant to tell one all they could wish to know about the Bajoran religion. It is a rich and ancient tradition that is in everything Bajorans do. It is their strength in times of trouble, it helps to guide them, and draw them together as a people. Should our library be incomplete please notify [mailto:maquisgoddess@gmail.com maquisgoddess@g....com] as soon as possible.<br />
<br />
= The Prophets =<br />
<br><br />
The Prophets are central to Bajoran religion, all else is built around them. They are non-corporeal extra-dimensional entities found only, thus far, in the Celestial Temple in the Bajoran System. <br><br><br />
[[Image:180px-Prophet_noncorporeal.jpg|250px]]<br><br><br />
As one can see the Prophet above in its natural state looks very close to the Orbs they sent to communicate with Bajor, just something interesting to note.<br />
<br />
The Prophets' origins remain unknown; however, they have identified themselves as being "of Bajor", Some scholars believe this means that they have always been there to guide Bajor as long as there was a Bajor. This would indicate that they are older then can known and perhaps even had a role in Bajor coming into existing. Maybe they were among the first in this plane of existence, the speculation is endless. Others feel that when Bajor was created the Prophets were created, and still others believe that the Prophets created Bajor from a part of themselves. This is a debate that continues in some scholar circles though for many their origins isn't as important as the fact of their existence. <br />
<br />
In their natural state, the Prophets appear as blue translucent energy capable of swift movement throughout any environment. When communicating with visitors in their own domain, defined as a vision inside the mind of a sentient or the Celestial Temple or pretty much any setting that takes place in a similar energy plane of existence. The Prophets are able to take the appearance of someone familiar to them by probing the corporeal individual consciousness when speaking to them inside the mind. For instance, when first encountered in "person" by Starfleet Commander Benjamin Sisko in 2369, the Prophets appeared to take the form of people from his past and present – including his wife Jennifer Sisko, son Jake Sisko, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and his alter ego Locutus of Borg against whom Sisko had once fought, as well as the Vulcan Captain of the USS Saratoga on which Sisko had served, and Kai Opaka. They do this in order that the one to whom they wish to speak can better relate to them. After all, one can relate better to a former teacher, for example, then a strange being. Being translucent energy and highly telepathic, it is logistically easy for them to speak to and know the mind of those to whom they communicate. Though with them being on a different plane of normal existence it is not always easy to understand their will or for them to understand corporeal limits. Communication is less then easy sometimes.<br />
<br />
In normal space, that is to say in the corporeal universe, the Prophets can only physically communicate with outsiders by possessing a body and using it as a vessel. The host is conscious of what is happening but has no control over its actions. One notable instance of this was when a Prophet and Pah-Wraith invaded the bodies of Col. Kira Nerys of Bajor and Jake Sisco, son of the Emissary; respectively. They were both aware but unable to affect the outcome. This was to be an epic battle of good verses evil but was interrupted. More on Pah-Wraith and this battle later in this document. <br />
Though for the most part they choose to communicate via orbs they sent to Bajor. More on the orbs and how they work in a later section. To add to the confusion when communicating, the Prophets have no sense of linear time, this could be due at least in part to their incorporeal nature. All that is, was, will be simply is. They live outside of the normal space-time continuum; however their existence has been recorded on Bajor for at least 30,000 years in linear time.<br />
<br />

<br />
= The Orbs =<br />
<br><br />
Earlier communications had been discussed, a report on communication with the Prophets would not be complete without information on the Orbs of Bajor. Bajoran history has documented the discovery of nine orbs found in orbit of Bajor over the last 10,000 years; however, it has been suggested from recent archaeological finds that the Bajorans received their first orb at least 30,000 years ago. The orbs appear to the resemble hourglass energy fields but more solid and may produce intense metaphysical experiences to those who come in contact with them. <br />
<br />
However, the orbs only react to a limited number of individuals and it continues to be a mystery as to what conditions must be met for a vision to be experienced. Some believe that the Prophets do not wish every Bajoran to be reliant on them for every decision and so only make themselves known to a chosen few for certain things. In all cases however it seemed to relate to Bajor's future or some personal enlightenment. In some cases lapsed visions have been known as a side-effect (in some instances even months later) This are known as Orb Shadows, more likely to be due to not learning from the vision then anything else.

Many early encounters with them were recorded and, over time, became the basis of many ancient Bajoran prophesies. These were ultimately responsible for the founding of the Bajoran faith as it is known today, based upon the worship of the Prophets as their gods. <br />
<br />
The orbs thus far have defied science as no objective analysis have been possible. Also note that while Bajor got many of their orbs back after the Occupation was over, it was through other agencies and not directly given to them by the Cardassians. The Cardassians took all they could find away for study during the Occupation, though their purpose continued to elude them. They did not seem detectable by current equipment nor did it seem to work for the Cardassians that held it.<br />
<br />
Unlike the Prophets themselves, the Orbs are not purely energy fields, they do have a physical presence. Something actual a person could grasp. And not all orbs were complete in their hourglass forms. At some point in Bajoran history, a fragment of an unknown orb serves as the jewel in a bracelet.

At this time they were less profit driven and Zek did things like want to give the Orb back to the Bajorans for Free.

Though he was restored to his older self by the Prophets, Quark managed to convince them it was a good idea, the door was open to a new type of Ferengi or should it be said an old type. <br><br />

While others feel it is part of an orb all it's own. It is a great debate that is waged in circles of Bajoran religious academia. Still the Prophets did try different ways to communicate with the Bajorans. Another method was via prophecy, though that too had its difficulties.<br />

<br />
Welcome seeker to the Way of the Prophets and to the religious home of our spiritual leader, the Kai. Please come and go in peace. <br />
From here one can learn a great many topics from The Prophets themselves to Cult of the Pah-wraiths, this library in the Kai's Monastery is meant to tell one all they could wish to know about the Bajoran religion. It is a rich and ancient tradition that is in everything Bajorans do. It is their strength in times of trouble, it helps to guide them, and draw them together as a people. Should our library be incomplete please notify [mailto:maquisgoddess@gmail.com maquisgoddess@g....com] as soon as possible.<br />
<br />
= The Prophets =<br />
<br><br />
The Prophets are central to Bajoran religion, all else is built around them. They are non-corporeal extra-dimensional entities found only, thus far, in the Celestial Temple in the Bajoran System. <br><br><br />
[[Image:180px-Prophet_noncorporeal.jpg|250px]]<br><br><br />
As one can see the Prophet above in its natural state looks very close to the Orbs they sent to communicate with Bajor, just something interesting to note.<br />
<br />
The Prophets' origins remain unknown; however, they have identified themselves as being "of Bajor", Some scholars believe this means that they have always been there to guide Bajor as long as there was a Bajor. This would indicate that they are older then can known and perhaps even had a role in Bajor coming into existing. Maybe they were among the first in this plane of existence, the speculation is endless. Others feel that when Bajor was created the Prophets were created, and still others believe that the Prophets created Bajor from a part of themselves. This is a debate that continues in some scholar circles though for many their origins isn't as important as the fact of their existence. <br />
<br />
In their natural state, the Prophets appear as blue translucent energy capable of swift movement throughout any environment. When communicating with visitors in their own domain, defined as a vision inside the mind of a sentient or the Celestial Temple or pretty much any setting that takes place in a similar energy plane of existence. The Prophets are able to take the appearance of someone familiar to them by probing the corporeal individual consciousness when speaking to them inside the mind. For instance, when first encountered in "person" by Starfleet Commander Benjamin Sisko in 2369, the Prophets appeared to take the form of people from his past and present – including his wife Jennifer Sisko, son Jake Sisko, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and his alter ego Locutus of Borg against whom Sisko had once fought, as well as the Vulcan Captain of the USS Saratoga on which Sisko had served, and Kai Opaka. They do this in order that the one to whom they wish to speak can better relate to them. After all, one can relate better to a former teacher, for example, then a strange being. Being translucent energy and highly telepathic, it is logistically easy for them to speak to and know the mind of those to whom they communicate. Though with them being on a different plane of normal existence it is not always easy to understand their will or for them to understand corporeal limits. Communication is less then easy sometimes.<br />
<br />
In normal space, that is to say in the corporeal universe, the Prophets can only physically communicate with outsiders by possessing a body and using it as a vessel. The host is conscious of what is happening but has no control over its actions. One notable instance of this was when a Prophet and Pah-Wraith invaded the bodies of Col. Kira Nerys of Bajor and Jake Sisco, son of the Emissary; respectively. They were both aware but unable to affect the outcome. This was to be an epic battle of good verses evil. More on Pah-Wraith and this battle later in this document. <br />
Though for the most part they choose to communicate via orbs they sent to Bajor. More on the orbs and how they work in a later section. To add to the confusion when communicating, the Prophets have no sense of linear time, this could be due at least in part to their incorporeal nature. All that is, was, will be simply is. They live outside of the normal space-time continuum; however their existence has been recorded on Bajor for at least 30,000 years in linear time.<br />
<br />
= The Celestial Temple =<br />
<br><br />
<br />
= The Orbs =<br />
<br><br />
Earlier communications had been discussed, a report on communication with the Prophets would not be complete without information on the Orbs of Bajor. Bajoran history has documented the discovery of nine orbs found in orbit of Bajor over the last 10,000 years; however, it has been suggested from recent archaeological finds that the Bajorans received their first orb at least 30,000 years ago. The orbs appear to the resemble hourglass energy fields but more solid and may produce intense metaphysical experiences to those who come in contact with them. <br />
<br />
However, the orbs only react to a limited number of individuals and it continues to be a mystery as to what conditions must be met for a vision to be experienced. Some believe that the Prophets do not wish every Bajoran to be reliant on them for every decision and so only make themselves known to a chosen few for certain things. In all cases however it seemed to relate to Bajor's future or some personal enlightenment. In some cases lapsed visions have been known as a side-effect (in some instances even months later) This are known as Orb Shadows, more likely to be due to not learning from the vision then anything else. The ancient Bajorans who found the orbs named them based upon the kind of vision they induced, it seems that each orb is meant for a type of enlightenment or person. Many early encounters with them were recorded and, over time, became the basis of many ancient Bajoran prophesies. These were ultimately responsible for the founding of the Bajoran faith as it is known today, based upon the worship of the Prophets as their gods. <br />
<br />
The orbs thus far have defied science as no objective analysis have been possible. Also note that while Bajor got many of their orbs back after the Occupation was over, it was through other agencies and not directly given to them by the Cardassians. The Cardassians took all they could find away for study during the Occupation, though their purpose continued to elude them. They did not seem detectable by current equipment nor did it seem to work for the Cardassians that held it.<br />
<br />
Unlike the Prophets themselves, the Orbs are not purely energy fields, they do have a physical presence. Something actual a person could grasp. And not all orbs were complete in their hourglass forms. At some point in Bajoran history, a fragment of an unknown orb serves as the jewel in a bracelet. This bracelet was kept in Faren Kag's village on Bajor, where it was wielded by the Sirah. The Sirah is the Bajoran name for the leader and storyteller of the aforementioned village. The Sirah would use this bracelet to create a creature called the Dal'Rok, and focus the collective mental energy of the villagers to defeat it. The story goes that the first Sirah, seeing that the people of the village fought all the time, used the bracelet in the manner described above. Each year, the Dal'Rok would appear for five nights and threaten to destroy the village unless the people united. Whenever it appeared, the people believed the Sirah accomplished this by "telling the story" of how the village was stronger than the Dal'Rok, thus giving the impression that he controlled it when in fact the people themselves did so. <br />
This would seem to confirm the telepathic nature of the Orbs. And that at least in this case the fragment was able to act as a focus and take the energy of the peoples very thoughts and make it a reality. And though it could be felt and experienced it was undetectable by tricorders as proven in the historical record of DS9 titled 'Storyteller'. There was wind and storm at one point but equipment could not detect it, however it was reality for not only the villagers but two visiting Starfleet Officers, Chief Miles O'Brian and Dr. Julian Bashier, who would have had no reason to believe in the stories told to them by the villagers. Yet they experienced the same thing as the life long believers, indicating it was a real presence. Though like much with the prophets, it continues to defy science.<br />

<br><br><br />
During the Cardassian Occupation of Bajor all but one of the orbs was removed from Bajor by the Occupying forces. The one that remained was called the Orb of Prophecy, kept first by Kai Opaka then by Vedik Bareil. It was this orb that Kai Opaka consulted with and showed to the Emissary, Captain Benjamin Sisko when he arrived in the Bajoran System.<br><br />

The Orb of Prophecy and Change<br />
<br><br />
<div align="left"> <br />
Important notes on this orb:<br><br />
*It is this orb that relates most future visions.<br><br />
*In 2370, Vedek Bareil consulted the Orb during the final days of the election for the next Kai.<br><br />
*In 2373, Captain Sisko experienced a plasma burst leaving him with pagh'tem'far, or prophetic visions. In order to bring his visions into focus, he had an encounter with the Orb of Prophecy. <br><br />
*In 2375, Kai Winn Adami attempted to consult the Orb of Prophecy, but it would not reveal anything to her. This is used by certain persons to support the idea that Kai Winn was a not a true Kai. More on that thought in the Pah-Wraith section.<br><br />
<br><br><br />
<br />
<br />
Orb of Contemplation:<br><br />
[[Image:180px-Orb_of_contemplation.jpg|250px]]<br />
<br><br />
Most relating to meditation it was kept on DS9 after the Occupation. It was the orb used by the Pah-Wraith, in the form of a Cardassian called Dukat to strike a blow against the Prophets and the Bajoran People. After fatally wounded Lt. Jadiza Dax in 2374 the Pah-Wraith left Dukat's body and went into the orb, causing all orbs to go dark and the Celestial Temple to disappear, more in this event under the Pah-Wraith section. Bajorans across the galaxy were terrified that the Prophets had forsaken them.<br />
below is an example of a Dark Orb.<br><br />
[[Image:180px-Dark_orb.jpg|200px]]<br />
<br><br><br />
But the Prophets are nothing if not careful, they always have a back up. This back up took the form of:<br><br />
<br><br />
<div align="center"><br />
Orb of the Emissary:<br><br />
[[Image:180px-Orb_of_the_Emissary.jpg|250px]]<br />
<div align="left"><br />
<br><br />
The tenth orb that would restart them all months later. <br />
It was originally believed that only nine orbs existed. This tenth ended up buried in a desert on Tyree and it can only be opened by the Emissary. Captain Sisko went on a great quest to find this orb after <br />
The Sisko, as the Prophets called him, received a series of visions that allowed him to locate the orb in 2375 . Once he knew what he was looking for, he was attacked by a member of a Bajoran cult that believed that the Pah-wraiths were the true prophets. <br />
While attempting to retrieve it, Sisko was sent a vision by the Pah-Wraiths trying to trick him but he prevailed in the end.<br />
When the box containing the orb was opened, the Prophet that had previously inhabited Sarah Sisko's body was released from it. The Prophet returned to the wormhole, cast the Pah-wraith out, and restored the wormhole and the other orbs.<br><br><br />
<br />
But these were not the only orbs, there were more. One of these was the Orb of Time. A most dangerous orb it could act as a time machine if that was the will of the Prophets.<br />
In 2373, the Detapa Council, the ruling council of the Cardassian Union, returned the Orb to the Bajoran people. By way of the USS Defiant. During its return trop, the Defiant was transported 105 years into the past by Arne Darvin, who sought to change the future of his younger self by assassinating James T. Kirk. Although there were some minor alterations to the timeline as a result, Kira Nerys was able to use the Orb to return the Defiant to its proper place in space-time. <br />
Once the Orb returned to Bajor, it was kept at the Temple of Iponu. In 2374, Kira used the Orb of Time to travel back to 2346, to investigate the nature of the relationship between her mother, Kira Meru, and Gul Dukat. Once she learned what she needed to know, the Orb brought her back to the present. As one can see in both cases good came of the trips, they stopped much possible destruction the first time and the second was a way to help one of Bajora learn more deeply essential truths.<br><br />
<br />
[[Image:180px-Orb_of_time.jpg|250px]]<br />
Orb of Time<br />
<br><br><br />
But it isn't just Bajorans and the Emissary who benefited from the Wisdom of the Prophets. One of the largest examples of a non-Bajoran being affected by an Orb is when in 2371, it was being held on Cardassia III. That was where Grand Nagus Zek 'acquired' it. He later took it into the wormhole to contact the Prophets, hoping that their ability to exist out of space-time would enable him to make substantial profit. As one can see the narrow focus was a bit misleading. After all if he had bothered to value anything but monetary gain he would of known that the Wormhole Aliens/Prophets were not going to help him in this goal. As it was the Prophets found this to be confusing and somehow changed Zek's attitude to that of the Ferengi of thousands of years ago. At this time they were less profit driven and Zek did things like want to give the Orb back to the Bajorans for Free. This did not go over well with other Ferengi but this helps explain the sudden change in Fergeni culture and policies after this date. Though he was restored to his older self by the Prophets, Quark managed to convince them it was a good idea, the door was open to a new type of Ferengi or should it be said an old type. <br><br />

2.The Orb of Destiny<br><br />

The ones not listed are no less important, it is simply that the ones above were of special note during the events relating to the Emissary and therefore of special interest to Bajoran religion scholars.

While others feel it is part of an orb all it's own. It is a great debate that is waged in circles of Bajoran religious academia. Still the Prophets did try different ways to communicate with the Bajorans. Another method was via prophecy, though that too had its difficulties.<br />
