Tavis
Born 2315, Vorta. Tavis secretly worked against the Dominion for many years,
until in 2369, he, along with two younger anti-Dominion activists,
formed a group called Opposition. It is still a very small group, with
no real power, and always on the run. But there are a few places they're
always safe, there are some people throughout the Dominion who share
their goals. They're always being hunted, and don't have much chance to
do anything of real significance. But they do pose a small threat to
some few areas of the Dominion's activities. They're a constant thorn
in the Dominion's side, but of no more consequence than that. They like
to fancy themselves a political party of sorts, but really they're not.
Tavis is considered Political or Diplomatic Leader of Opposition.
Amick Tulann
Born 2345, Tind. Tulann worked for the Dominion as a captain of a large
warship. But he was always secretly against the Dominion, and wished
to free his own world and others from the Founders' Tyranny. In 2369,
he, along with two other anti-Dominion Activists, formed a group called
Opposition. They're a small group of little importance, but they see
themselves as being more important than they are. Tulann is considered
Military Leader of Opposition.
Togan Brillish
Born 2342, Karemma. Brillish was for years a loyal spy for the Founders.
He made a number of excursions into the Alpha Quadrant before the
Dominion even allowed the various peoples of that quadrant to know of
their existence. He gathered lots of information for the Founders. But
gradually, as he got to know more about the Federation, he started to
realize he liked the way their system worked, and realized that things
didn't have to be the way they were in the Dominion. One of his favorite
concepts learned in the Federation was the possibility of opposing
political parties being allowed to exist, and compete for control of
the government. He decided to bring a new political party to the Dominion.
He got together with two other anti-Dominion activists, and formed
Opposition. Brillish is the one who had the original idea for the group,
and is one of its chief officers, but he has no official position. He
still acts as a spy, mostly. But now he spies on both the Federation
and the Dominion. And he now feeds false information to the Founders,
sometimes. They are unaware that he is a member of Opposition, and
believe him still to be loyal to them.
Tala
Born 2022, Changeling Homeworld. In 2300, Tala realized that there were
an awful lot of people and small groups out there around the Dominion
who were opposed to the Founders, and who were actively working against
them. She knew they could never pose a real threat to the Dominion as
they were, but that they were still a problem, a thorn, an annoyance.
So she started a group to work for the government, AID, Anti-Insurgency
Division. Since then, AID has worked to keep track of individuals or
groups working against the Dominion, and when they feel it necessary,
to eliminate them. They've not always succeeded, but rather few people
have ever managed to elude them. They do work against many people and
groups, including, currently, Opposition. But they're all minor concerns.
Bol
Born 2307, Vorta. Bol always wanted to command a Jem'Hadar ship,
but was never allowed to. The Founders didn't think he was ready.
Instead, they assigned him to AID. He worked there for years, and became
rather a good agent. He worked his way up through the organization to
become the top field operative. He's now a free agent, with carte blanche
to choose his own assignments, and can even give orders to almost anyone
in AID...even to some people outside AID, like commanders of Jem'Hadar
ships...
Tarn Bengaal
Born 2318, Karemma. Bengaal was a teacher at one of the top military
schools in the Dominion. He trained many thousands of officers of
various races, including Jem'Hadar and Vorta. On the side, he engaged
in a little illegal arms dealing now and then, and had contacts all
over the quadrant, so that he always knew what was going on anywhere.
He liked to fancy that he could run the Dominion if he so chose, but he
never put that idea to the test. One of his students was Togan Brillish,
who became one of the Dominion's top spies. Brillish even spied on
Bengaal for the Founders, before he formed Opposition. And because of
his favorable reports, the Founders asked Bengaal to join AID. He did,
but still kept up some of his other work. Bengaal is now second in
command at AID, right under Tala.
Alpha Group
Sheila Cogsworth (2344, Terra) and David Svetkey (2353, Terra) were
civilian Federation spies during the Cardassian-Federation War. But
they were captured in 2368, and sent to Terok Nor as slaves. It was
Svetkey's first mission, and he was rather young. There they met a
Bajoran slave named Tunan Arisia (2346) who had fought in the Bajoran
Resistance. Tobin Zorel (2353, Terok Nor) was the son of Cardassian
guards on the station, but was opposed to the Occupation. He helped
the three slaves escape, and the four of them, on a stolen ship, stumbled
through the wormhole. They were lucky to be discovered by an anti-Dominion
activist before an agent of the Dominion. They learned all they could
about this quadrant, and set up their own small resistance cell,
which they called Alpha Group. They work mostly on their own, but think
of themselves as loosely aligned with Opposition.
Eklan Murganna
Born 2325, Tirosh. Murganna is a bounty hunter. He works for the highest
bidder, and has no political affiliations of any kind. He usually works
for the Dominion, because they're usually the highest bidder. But he's
occasionally worked for Opposition, and similar groups. He's probably
about the best bounty hunter in the quadrant, and has amassed quite a
fortune. His ship, the Corsica, is named after his home city on
Tirosh. It was fairly new when he bought it, when he was starting out
as a bounty hunter on his 20th birthday. But now it's a very outdated,
old-fashioned ship, at least in appearance. It's had lots of modifications,
and is better in many ways than alot of newer ships. But it needs constant
repairs. He has a second ship, a much newer one of a design reminiscent
of the old one. He only uses it when he has to. It's called the
Corsican Twin.
Gamma Group
Sikleth Tubren (2348, Ok'rem'Tal) grew up with 2 best friends on the
Karemma colony world of Ok'rem'Tal: Rosha Tintun (2348) and Rosha's
sister, Arlissa (2350). In 2368, they heard of four people who had
come here from the Alpha Quadrant and started their own resistence cell,
Alpha Group. Sikleth and Arlissa were intrigued by them, and Rosha
seemed to be as well. The three of them went looking for Alpha Group,
and when they found them the next year, Sikleth and Arlissa asked if
they could join
the group, but while they were talking, an agent of AID showed up. It
turned out he had been called in by Rosha, who was interested in becoming
an AID agent, and used this opportunity to prove himself to them. the
Alphans and Sikleth and Arlissa managed to escape, but their base was
compromised, and they had to start over from scratch elsewhere. Rosha
became an AID agent. Sikleth and Arlissa spent some time with Alpha
Group before deciding to go off and start their own resistence cell,
Gamma Group, which would be more directly aligned with the new group
Opposition than was Alpha Group. But they remained friends with the
Alphans, and often work together.
Tirosh Oklan (2358, Karemma) was named after the planet of birth of a
friend of his parents, the famous bounty hunter Eklan Murganna. Murganna,
in fact, was named Tirosh's godson. His parents wanted Murganna to
some day teach Tirosh his business. He studied with his godfather for
a few years, but decided to apply what he learned to something other
than bounty hunting. In 2372, he joined Gamma Group.
Luciana Soe'Narr (2351, Tind) worked for several years with Amick
Tulann, and when Tulaan formed Opposition, she worked as one of their
agents for awhile. But in 2375, she left to join Gamma Group.
Bril Inbin (2355, Dosi) was a natural mechanic, a skill he learned from
his mother, who worked together with her husband as anti-Dominion
activists. Inbin followed in their footsteps, and joined Gamma Group in
2375.
Rogue Group
Cara (2352, Vorta) decided in 2370 to join AID. But she was
rejected, and so she decided to start her own similar, smaller group,
which she called Rogue Group. For two years, she did whatever she could
against groups like Opposition, Alpha, Gamma, and others. But she was
alone, the only person in Rogue Group. Then in 2372, she took on a
partner, Nicola Murganna (2355, Tirosh). Murganna was the daughter of
the famous bounty hunter Eklan Murganna, from whom she'd learned a good
many skills. He had occasionally taught her at the same time as his
godson, Tirosh Oklan. Nicola and Tirosh has a brief relationship, but
when they realized they had opposing political view, it ended. They
still have feelings for each other, and neither is likely ever to do
anything to hurt the other, unless it was necessary for the protection
of their friends.
