Ry Emeras was the Bajoran co-chief engineer USS Defiant in the bridge division. (Star Trek: Defiant)

Background

Lieutenant Commander Ry Emeras was a very compassionate and insightful person and loved by all. She would have become a Vedek if she was not approached by the Emissary Benjamin Sisko to join Starfleet. She had been on the Defiant since its inaugural flight. A renowned freedom fighter during the occupation She is infamous for her skill in breaking herself and others out of prison. Her largest breakout involved breaking her captain and over one million other prisoners from a Romulan facility in the Badlands, a Romulan prison named Zaid on a planet named Yggdrassil.

Captain Jeffrey Bridges

Commander Minnet

Ry became the focus of the Romulan Commander's twisted obsession following the aborted battle with the Defiant after their rescue of the Firefly. Dreschik had transferred over to Minnet's ship, the Shinake for his triumphant return to Romulus. Fatigued, and suffering the aftereffects from his incarceration at Zaid, He made an offhand comment on how impressed he was with Commander Ry's engineering skills. A successful breakout of over one million prisoners was no small feat. From that moment on, Minnet became obsessed with the idea of 'testing' Commander Ry Emeras. He bided his time, waiting for the perfect opportunity. It presented itself at Destor Moot. The Cardassian spy, Gul Otek, had incapacitated Ry, and set explosives throughout the facility to cover his escape. It was a simple matter to detonate the explosives prematurely and sweep Ry Emeras into his clutches. His timing was off, and Ry was swept up into the expansion, suffering multiple concussive injuries. If not for the efforts of the Bajoran war criminal Doctor Yellerow Jaal, she would have died. Emeras recovered, but had suffered amnesia. That suited Minnet just fine. He ordered his warbird, the Shinake to the quarantined (and ecologically fragile) Cardassian system Docent Sigma. A lifeform, Moth Astra, lived amongst the rings surrounding one of the planets. He intended to solicit Commander Ry's help to murder them all. "Do you not see? They are suffering! It would be a mercy!" Emeras, despite her loss of memory, remained true to her nature and thwarted Minnet's plans for mass murder. She was rescued by Gul Otek, and picked up by LT Darcy in the Firefly. Commander Minnet met his end in a shuttle as he made his escape at the hands of Rentor Kendrick

Legate Negresk

Emeras arranged for the release of Gul Otek's two half Bajoran children following her rescue at Docent Sigma. He was impressed with the warrior part of her nature, as well as the rather large collection of weapons on the wall in her quarters. They even engaged in a friendly duel using bladed weapons.

Gul Arrel Otek

Ry first met the Cardassian spy Gul Otek when he was on Bajor, disguised as a Bajoran. Like Ry, he had information that indicated a nearby supply of sedillium, a compound needed by Cardassia for weapons production. Their information led them to a Bajoran temple. Desperate to find the Sedillium, Otek broke cover and held Ry, along with Dr Laine hostage. His attempt was thwarted by the timely arrival of Lieutenant Magus Brel. He made his escape from Starfleet custody on Destor Moot, during a feigned rescue mission. He incapacitated Commander Ry and set the facility to explode, giving her rescuers plenty of time to get to her. The explosives went off prematurely, resulting in the (apparent) death of Ry and LT Magus. Not accepting what the evidence was telling him, Otek determined that Ry was alive, but someone wanted to insure no one would come looking. Further investigation revealed the perpetrator was the Romulan Commander Minnet, and that he had taken her to Docent Sigma. He contacted Senator Dreschik as well Tom Backus to solicit Romulan and Federation aid. Following her successful rescue, and in subsequent weeks, Ry and Otek fell in love to the surprise and consternation of their friends, allies and shipmates on both sides. Following a pitched battle with the Romulans, Otek had been injured. Blind in both eyes, deaf in one ear, Ry asked him to marry her. He consented, and the ceremony was conducted by both a Bajoran Vedek and a Cardassian Diantahr. Starfleet, now fully aware of their relationship, sent a LT Deijenko to Defiant to take Ry into custody. Captain Bridges alerted Otek, and he managed to shepherd her away out of Federation space.

Commander Tom Backus

Lieutenant Commander Kit Barton

Following her rescue from Docent Sigma, Doctor Laine asked Kit to take a look a brain scan of Ry's head. What she thought was scar tissue from Yellerow Jaal's surgery, was in fact a Cardassian device variation of a design of Kit's creation. Implanted in prisoners, or even agents, the devices detonates when exposed certain conditions, such atmospheric pressure, temperature, weather. Despite his best attempts to render the device inert, Kit wasn't certain that the device had been fully deactivated. as a consequence, he told Ry that she shouldn't return to Bajor until such time as the device was confirmed as inert. Otherwise, she could end up a vegetable, or worse, dead. Since then, Kit has worked round the clock to find a way to fully render the device harmless.

Commander Laine Rael

One of Doctor Laine's biggest complaints was Ry insisting; "I'm fine" when she wasn't. Despite this, Ry and Laine were the closest of friends. When she returned following the rescue mission at Docent Sigma, Rael told her; "I'm mad as hell at you! Don't tell me you're fine when you're not! From that point on, Ry never used the words "I'm fine" again.

Rentor Kendrick

A childhood friend, Rentor and Ry jointly owned a cargo transport The Moon Six. Rentor came to Ry's assistance on multiple occasions, The most notable being the rescue of Captain Bridges and many others from the Romulan prison, Zaid. Rentor was infamous for addressing Ry as "Sweetheart", "Darling", "My Dear", and numerous other affectations. Following the explosion at Destor Moot, along with Ry's (apparent) demise, It was Rentor, along with Ry's rescued brother, Arrelman that approached Tom Backus to tell him they shared his belief that Emeras was alive. Later, joined by Gul Otek, They mounted a rescue mission that eventually freed her. During the rescue, however, Rentor was stabbed by Minnet with a poisoned blade. Rentor retained enough strength to intercept the renegade Romulan in a shuttlecraft, stun him and rigged it to self destruct. Ry then ttansferred ownership of the Moon Six to ne of rentors other business partners. He then renamed the ship; "Rentor's Regards".

Tom Riker

Ry knew Tom Riker from her days in the resistance. Tom told her that Arrelman had been captured by the Cardassians during an attack on their base. He was performing orbital patrol when the attack occurred. Almost everyone in the base died, save Arrelman. Tom blamed himself for the casualties. Emeras did not, and assured him she knew he did everything he could.

Ry Arrelman

Emeras had not seen her older brother Arrelman in years, despite the fact they were both in the Bajoran Resistance. Unlike Emeras, who left to join Starfleet at the request of the Emissary, Arrelman remained with the resistance, staying in the fight until he was captured. He remained in custody until rescued from the Cardassian facility on Destor Moot. Wanting to be close to his surviving sister, he opened a shop on the Deep Space 9 promenade. "Moon Six".

Doctor Yellerow Jaal

Following the premature explosion after the aborted rescue attempt on Destor Moot, Ry fell into the clutches of "The Butcher of Ilvia" Bajoran war criminal Doctor Yellerow Jaal. During the occupation he was responsible for numerous medical experiments on his fellow Bajorans, resulting in death, permanent maiming or brain damage. During his initial exam he discovered the Commander had brain injury unique to his research. No one else could have identified and corrected Ry's condition, because neither the Federation nor the Bajor governments had any clue of the nature of this injury. All of Yellerow's research that he hadn't taken with him had been destroyed as an atrocity. Despite the success with the procedure, a side effect was the Commander suffered temporary amnesia. As a favor, he asked Minnet if he could keep her with him as a companion or the like. "I can't go home. And I want to take part of home with me. And if I can't go home, then neither will she." To insure his twisted plan was brought to fruition, during the surgery procedure he implanted a bomb in Ry's head, set to go off if she returned to Bajor.
