Kaffa Omed

Petty Officer 1st Class Kaffa Omed, a Bajoran male, is a security officer aboard the U.S.S. Baikonur. He served in an elite Special Reconnaissance Unit with the Starfleet Ground Forces during the Dominion War. At that time, he often spent weeks behind the lines as part of a six-person team, scouting and surveilling Dominion forces and striking targets of opportunity. On one such mission, he was captured and spent three months in a Dominion POW camp where he met lieutenant Kovod Noorlud.

Despite his distinguished combat service record, Kaffa has been censured on several occasions for fostering an 'unwelcoming environment' for subordinates who do not share his deeply religious worldview. In his mind, the Federation owes its continued existence to the intervention of the Prophets who, in an act of divine mercy, closed the celestial temple to the Dominion during the battle to retake Deep Space Nine. Every being in the Federation, in turn, owes the Prophets the same worship and veneration that the Bajoran people have offered for aeons.
