Goran'agar

Goran'agar

Biography[]

By2369, Goran'agar had become aFirst, and his ship crashed onBopak III, but he alone survived. Only having enough white supply for six days, Goran'Agar was able to extend it to eight days, before it ran out. Expecting to die a slow and painful death, Goran'agar was surprised to find he no longer needed the white, believing that the local plantlife or water supply he had sustained himself on had somehow cured him. After thirty-five days on the planet, he was rescued.

In2372, Goran'agar, wanting his men to be free and lead a peaceful existence far away from the Dominion, inspired five of his closest squad members, includingArak'Taral,Temo'Zuma andMeso'Clan, to steal a ship and escape the Dominion to Bopak III, where he directed them to eat and drink from the same sources he had in the hopes of curing them.

Goran'agar became increasingly frustrated when these efforts failed, and was also concerned when the meager supply of white he had brought with him began to run out (lying to his squad; saying he had enough for several months). However, he saw his chance to save his squad whenChiefMiles O'Brien andDoctorJulian Bashir, investigating amagneton pulse from Bopak's surface (really coming from Goran'agar's ship'swarp core), crashed their runabout on Bopak's surface, where Goran'agar and his troops promptly captured them both.

Upon learning that Bashir was a Doctor, Goran'agar told him of his freedom from the white and ordered him to begin looking for a cure for his men. Bashir, in the end, discovered the truth behind his immunity, and when his men learned of this, Goran'Agar's troops rebelled against him and attempted to kill Bashir and O'Brien. Goran'agar helped Bashir and O'Brien escape, but remained on Bopak, as he was insistent he had to hunt down his men and give them a quick death, rather than let his "brothers" die alone and in pain.

O'Brien and Bashir both agreed to keep their efforts on Bopak a secret, but O'Brien later confided his secret toWorf several weeks later, andSection 31 AgentLuther Sloan mentioned Bashir's efforts to help Goran'agar during his "interrogation" (really a test into Bashir's loyalty when considering recruiting him into the organization). (DS9 -Prophecy and Changeshort story: "Broken Oaths";DS9episode: "Inquisition")

Goran'Agar, after mercy-killing his own men, attempted to escape pursuing Dominion forces, but was captured. Instead of being killed for his insubordination and desertion, Goran'agar was instead reduced toSecond and assigned him to serve under FirstTalak'talan during theDominion War, which was discovered byKlingonImperial Intelligence. (DS9video game:Dominion Wars)

Shortly after returning to theGamma Quadrant,Odo, who wished to send a Jem'Hadar emissary to establish peaceful relations with theFederation, searched the Dominion's legions for a Jem'Hadar with the same mutation Goran'agar had to negate the need for white for the emissary. Four such mutants were found and one, anHonored Elder namedTaran'atar, was sent toDeep Space 9. (DS9 -Avatarnovel:Book Two)
