R SECTION 3: Ro through Ry.

Ro Laren.: Lieutenant in the Bajoran militia, Ro is the security chief of the starbase Deep Space Nine. Ro Laren is a Bajoran from the refugee camps created after the Cardassian occupation caused many of her people to flee from their star system. At age seven, Ro was given a piece of candy and was forced to watch as Cardassian soldiers tortured her father to death. Prior to her career with the Bajoran government, Ro had been a member of Starfleet, assigned to the starship Wellington. In an incident on Garon II, Ro took it upon herself to disobey orders, resulting in the eath of eight crewmembers, including executive officer Waid. Ro was imprisoned in a stockade on Jaros II following her court-martial, but was released in 2368 by Admiral Kennelly. Ro found herself assigned to the starship Enterprise-D under the command of Jean-Luc Picard. On the advice of Guinan, Ro revealed to Picard that she had been secretly sent by Admiral Kennelly to disrupt Bajoran peace in the Valo system. Ro stayed on the Enterprise- until she was promoted to lieutenant and attended Advanced Tactical Training, returning for a secret mission to infiltrate Maquis colonies in 2370. Ro took exception to the dubious morality of the situation, and aborted the mission, choosing to stay with the Maquis. She fought with them against the Cardassians and the Jem'Hadar until the end of the Dominion War. On DS9, Ro's command authorization code is Ro-epsilon-751.

Romulan Star Empire.: Ruling government of the Romulan people, centered on the planets Romulus and Remus in the Eisn star system. The warlike Empire has existed for milennia, almost since the days Romulan worlds were colonized by Vulcan generational starships. There is a growing movement to overthrow the Star Empire and replace it with a peaceful government, promoting Romulan reuinification with their brother Vulcans. For years, there was only an uneasy peace between the Romulans and the Federation after they returned to the public arena of galactic politics in 2364. When the Dominion war began around 2373, it looked like the Romulans were going to side with the enemy forces when theysigned a Dominion non-agression treaty. Almost a year later, the death of a Romulan senator brought the Empire into the war, allied with the Klingons and the Federation. Federation forces were mobilized in 2378 when a Reman uprising within the Empire threatened to engulf much of Romulan space in interstellar war. ("Balance of Terror" [TOS]; "In the Pale Moonlight" [DS9 #143]; "Nemesis" [Movie #10]).

Ronald D. Moore, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Galaxy-class explorer, Starfleet registry NCC-70564. At some point this vessel visited starbase Deep Space Nine. (2001 DS9 Calender [Pocket]). E-mail from Gary Hutzel sent to the members of the Flare Forum confirmed the name of this mysterious ship (and included an original scan for us to read the name off the hull). A later e-mail from Hutzel confirms that this Galaxy-class model was a CGI created for the calender. His e-mail also states the vessel was named for a famous Starfleet admiral (who shares the name of a Trek staffer). Eyebrows have been raised as to why the registry of this vessel predates the registry of the class-ship, U.S.S. Galaxy, but it wouldnt be the first time Starfleet's done something like that (SEE: Constellation, U.S.S. NCC-1017 and Constitution-class).
Rondac III.: Planet inside Cardassian space. When Damar began his campaign against the Dominion, the cloning facilities on Rondac III were the first targets. The Trager led the attack.
