![]() Ziyal refused, since Garak was lost in the Gamma Quadrant and she had promised she would await his return. Knowing he would soon rule over Cardassia itself, Dukat attempted to take Ziyal back with him, promising that "things will change" this time around. At that time, Dukat had been secretly negotiating an alliance between the Cardassian Union and the Dominion. Dukat was outraged when he learned of this development in 2373, upon making a return visit to Deep Space 9. Garak was initially concerned that Ziyal might try to kill him, due to the enmity between him and Dukat, though the two eventually developed a friendship. Ziyal also became drawn to Elim Garak, who was the only Cardassian on the station. ( DS9: " Return to Grace")Īboard the station, Ziyal developed a close friendship with Major Kira, coming to think of her as a sort of big sister. Dukat had conceded that it would be a better life for her on the station than accompanying him on his war against the Klingons. However, after the Groumall was destroyed and Dukat took command of a captured Klingon Bird-of-Prey, Ziyal returned with Kira to live on Deep Space 9. ![]() Since he was the only family she had, Ziyal followed Dukat to the Groumall. She later confided with Kira that the only good thing about her life on Cardassia was her father, who spent time with her and never acted as though he were ashamed of her. Meanwhile, Ziyal was shunned by most Cardassians for her Bajoran half. Dukat was demoted from his position as chief military adviser to the Detapa Council and assigned to command the freighter Groumall, while his wife took their children and left him. ( DS9: " Indiscretion")įollowing Ziyal's return to Cardassia with her father, the expected political backlash was swift. As he looked upon his daughter, Dukat found he could not kill her. When Dukat found her as he and Kira liberated the camp, Ziyal told him that she would rather die than to be apart from him. Ziyal was aware of this fact from the other Cardassian prisoners, but she still hoped that her father would rescue her as her mother promised. Dukat had intended to kill Ziyal if he should find her alive, as the fact he had an illegitimate half-Bajoran daughter posed a threat to his political position and legitimate family. Dukat learned that Major Kira Nerys was mounting a search for the transport and arranged to have himself join her. ![]() Six years later in early 2372, the fate of the Ravinok reached the outside world. Moore commented: "Ziyal was kept out of public view during the Cardassian Occupation as was her mother since it would've been politically incorrect for Dukat to have a Bajoran family at that time. ![]()
