Kendra Province, 2375

Kendra Province

Kendra Province was a geographical region on Bajor and the location of Kendra Valley.

The soil in this province was suitable for growing kava. (DS9: "Penumbra")

During the Occupation of Bajor, Kendra Province was the site of the infamous Kendra Valley Massacre, where forty-two members of the Bajoran Resistance were killed. (DS9: "The Collaborator")

In 2374, the instability of the Bajoran wormhole due to the Reckoning caused massive earthquakes in Kendra Province, leaving thousands homeless. (DS9: "The Reckoning")

In 2375, Benjamin Sisko bought twelve hecapates of land in Kendra Province, south of the Yolja River, planning to build a house there after the Dominion War ended. He had intended to retire there "and watch the sun set over the mountains every night." (DS9: "Penumbra")

Several weeks later, after Sisko's climactic clash with Dukat in the Fire Caves, Jake Sisko suggested that his father may have gone to the land he bought in Kendra Province. (DS9: "What You Leave Behind")

In 2401, Admiral Jean-Luc Picard kept a map of Bajor's major archaeological sites in the study at Château Picard that identified Kendra Province, including the Kendra Valley, the Yolja River, B'hala, the Fire Caves, and at least four archaeological sites in the region. (PIC: "The Star Gazer")

Background information[]

According to the script for "The Collaborator", the pronunciation for Kendra was "KEN-drah". [1]

Kendra Province was labeled in the northern hemisphere on a Star Trek: Deep Space Nine production map of Bajor that writer Robert Hewitt Wolfe maintained, as well as a map of Bajor derived from it by Geoffrey Mandel for Star Trek: Star Charts. (p. 42) [2](X) Mandel brought the label forward for a map of archaeological sites created for Star Trek: Picard. [3]

The script of "Penumbra" implied that a place called Adarak was also in the province. [4]

In the first draft script of "When It Rains...", Kendra Province was mentioned by Kai Winn as the site where the Festival of Lights would be held, which she was scheduled to officiate.
