History of the Coalition
The Bajoran Coalition was formed due to necessity. Originally the Runabout Teirysas, the Flagship of the Coalition, belonged to another club. Unfortunately, with the end of DS9's last season came the end of that club. So in order to preserve the Runabout, a new club was formed...The Bajoran Coalition!

About the Coalition
The Coalition has mainly focused around its Flagship and local area since its inception. However, we are now expanding! We are looking for people to start chapters in other areas or who can participate via internet. You can be assured that this club is here to stay no matter what happens. The guidelines are simple, everyone is welcome, and all opinions will be heard. The following is a copy of our membership handbook.

No specific rules of behavior are set but military protocol is expected. If you have any further questions or suggestions, please let us know.

The Religious Order
The Bajoran Religious Order is the spiritual order that holds the Bajoran people together. This includes such people as Vedek Bareil and Kai Winn. Members of this religious order, earn promotion points like the Militia and rise through the Prylar ranks from Acolyte to Lira, then the leadership ranks up to Kai. The following are the approved ranks for the Bajoran Relgious Order and are subject to change at any time.

I hope that this helps you to understand what we expect of the Bajoran Religious Order. It is hoped that all members will have respect for each other. There are no other set rules of behavior. If you have any questions of ideas let us know.

Table of Contents

Civilian Status
Civilian status includes Bajorans who are not in the Bajoran Militia or the Religious Order but are active members who participate in activities, write submissions for the newsletters, etc. This includes both Bajorans who have civilian jobs like shopkeepers, janitors, scientists, students, cooks, archivists, d'abo girls, farmers, etc. or who are involved in another organization such as Starfleet. This would include everyone from Leeta to Ensign Ro Laren. If you sign up as a civilian you keep your rank if you are in Starfleet or your civilian title if you're a doctor, manager, supervisor, or whatever persona you wish to create. If you drop your past duties, you will be given a rank equal to that of your previous organization.

Reserve Status
Reserves are those who wish not to be actively involved but still wish to receive our newsletter. You may change status at anytime to an active status.
