Colony Information

Brief History

In 2370 the Bajorans discovered the colony of New Bajor within the Gamma Quadrant. At the start of the Dominion War the colony was destroyed causing the death of 97% of the inhabitants of the colony. At the conclusion of the dominion war and after Bajor became a member of the Federation of Planets. The Federation returned to New Bajor to rebuild, and begin a new commonwealth which in the past 4 years has grown ever popular and sprouted into two commonwealths with more planned.

In 2388, the Consortium took control of New Bajor. Life proceeded as normal until near the end of the conflict when Commodore Terlexa decided to bombard New Rakantha with phaser fire and photon torpedoes. The USS Black Hawk nearly crashed into New Rakantha, but was eased into a nearby forest instead.

Government Information

The Government of New Bajor is a tri-partisan system that is made up of three councils. The Executive Council is made up of the Governor and each Commonwealth Supervisor. The Council of Mayors is quite self explanatory as the mayors of each city serve as part of it in order to vote on legislative matters chaired by the Lieutenant Governor. The Council of Advisors is the third and final branch of the government serving as an advisory board for both councils if so requested. The Council of Advisors serves at the pleasure of the Governor and are in charge of an Executive Agency or Department. The Judicial process within the colony is made up of a tribunal. A member from each of the three councils will sit as judges and vote on the outcome of cases brought before the Supreme Court.
