News from Bajor

STARDATE 9812.19

Peldor Joi! First and foremost I would like to wish everyone a happy holiday (whichever holiday(s) you celebrate).

Next up I would like to say how happy I was to see a Bajoran in both the Voyager episode "Nothing Human" and in "Star Trek: Insurrection". Even though the later was only viewed for less than two seconds on the bridge of the Enterprise-E.

Now, as for who is doing what. Nana Visitor (Colonel Kira Nerys) was present at a charity to raise money for the Lois Thompson Housing Project for Challenged Citizens last October in Oregon.

Louise Fletcher (Kai Winn) began work on an independent drama last August in Chicago called "Time Served".

Lastly, the Prophets truly guide Chase Masterson (Leeta), or you would think they do. TV Guide's recent on-line ballot has proclaimed her "Queen of Outer Space." You ask why? Because in a vote for favorite sci-fi women she won with 32% of the vote! Beating Jeri Ryan's 25% and Kate Mulgrew's 8%! Proving something I've always known to be true.

I don't feel like defining anything this month. Instead, I bestow upon you this knowledge. The Bajoran System consists of 14 planets orbiting a sun called B'hava'el. Eight of those planets are terrestrial, three are gas giants, and the outer three are ice/rock conglomerates. Twelve planets orbit on a stellar plane while Bajor 8 & 9 orbit at an approximately 45 angle from that plane. The Wormhole, Deep Space 9, and a handful of comets and such are also orbiting B'hava'el. Bajor is the third planet with at least 5 moons. Derna is Bajor's 4th moon & Jeraddo is the 5th. The Denorios belt is located between the 9th & 10th planets. Bajor is a class M planet with 26 hour days, a mostly tropical climate, green oceans, and 1.4g. Unlike Earth, Bajor has more land than ocean and is considerably more geologically stable.
