List of Bajoran Collaborators
A collaborator was an individual who was, almost always, willing to serve or sympathize with the people who conquered their lands. For this, they were often hated by their own.
On Kaminar, Kelpien priests were described as unwitting collaborators due to their enforcement of the grip of the Ba'ul on their Kelpien prey. (DIS: "The Sound of Thunder")
During the Occupation of Bajor, several Bajorans served as Cardassian collaborators, including Secretary Kubus Oak and Basso. (DS9: "The Collaborator", "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night") These collaborators either served the Cardassians directly, or provided the Cardassians with information on the Bajoran Resistance.
Kevin Uxbridge was suspected of being a collaborator after the whole Rana IV colony was destroyed by the Husnock and only the Uxbridges' house was spared. (TNG: "The Survivors")
Mizar II had been conquered six times in three centuries due to the Mizarian never resisting their conquerors. When Esoqq, Kova Tholl and Jean-Luc Picard were captured together in an alien cell in 2366, Esoqq suspected that Tholl might be a collaborator with their abductors. When he indirectly suggested this idea, Tholl asked outright if he was accusing him of collaborating with their abductors and he replied that collaboration was what his species did best. Later, when identifying each member of the group's roles in the "laboratory maze" that their captors had structured, Picard described Tholl as the collaborator who would defer to whoever has control. (TNG: "Allegiance")
In 2365, a Bajoran chemist named Vaatrik, who lived on Terok Nor during the Occupation, served as a direct link between Gul Dukat and at least eight Bajoran sympathizers (i.e. Ches'sarro Seeto). Vaatrik would be executed by Kira Nerys. (DS9: "Necessary Evil") During her involvement with efforts to resist the Occupation, Nerys was hesitant to attack facilities that housed even a Bajoran worker, but did so all the same, reminding herself that those working with the Cardassians were collaborators. Years later, after becoming an advisor to the Cardassian Liberation Front, Kira noted this fact when Gul Rusot protested her suggestion about having their faction attack installations that was guarded Cardassian soldiers that had not joined the rebellion. In response, Kira told both him and Legate Damar that the Dominion would use this against the rebels by posting other members of their kind within their facilities.
In 2370, listing Quark's faults and why she despised him, Kira included collaborating with the Cardassians. (DS9: "Shadowplay")
During the Dominion occupation of Deep Space 9, Kira initially worked alongside the Dominion in running the station in the belief that overt resistance would provide Dukat with the pretext to crack down on the station's Bajoran population. However, after Vedek Yassim killed herself on the Promenade in protest of the Dominion, Kira realized that, by making excuses for not fighting the Dominion, she had unknowingly become a collaborator. She and Odo thus began a resistance movement on the station. (DS9: "Rocks and Shoals")
Bajoran "comfort women" were also often accused of being collaborators. (DS9: "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night")
In his war against the Dominion's occupation of Cardassia, Damar initially refused to attack any Cardassian guards, but ex-resistance fighter Kira countered that they were collaborators, and that the Dominion would place a Cardassian garrison at every critical facility once they realized that he wouldn't attack his own people. In the words of Nerys, "anybody that is not fighting with you, is fighting against you". (DS9: "When It Rains...") True to these words, the Founders had help trying to crush the rebellion from Cardassian collaborators like Gul Revok and Broca, who was promoted to serve as the new leader of the Union, being eager to follow the orders of the Female Changeling and Weyoun 8 almost without question. (DS9: "The Dogs of War")
In the Q Continuum, collaborating with the enemy was punishable by death. (VOY: "The Q and the Grey")
