Natima Lang

Natima Lang was a Cardassian journalist, academic and political dissident. In the former capacity, she worked as a correspondent for the Cardassian Information Service on Terok Nor during the Occupation of Bajor. During that period, she engaged in a romantic relationship with Quark. The relationship ended in 2365 when the Ferengi bartender used Lang's access codes to embezzle money from the Cardassian government. She then left the station, though they still harbored feelings for each other.

By 2370, Lang had become a professor of political ethics, while secretly a member of the Cardassian dissident movement. On the run from the Central Command, she returned to Terok Nor, now Deep Space 9, and again encountered Quark. Despite their renewed feelings, Lang's loyalty was to her students and her cause, and she left DS9 for sanctuary with other dissidents on Sedara VI.
