[[File:Deep space 9.jpg|thumb|[[Deep Space 9]]]]
One of the Provisional Government's first actions, following its inception, was to request a [[Federation]] presence in the [[Bajoran system]]. This was realized through the establishment of a [[starbase]] there, known as [[Deep Space 9]]. Although officially under [[Bajoran]] control, Deep Space 9 was commanded by a [[Star Fleet]] officer, [[Commander]] [[Benjamin Sisko]]. Following his assignment to Deep Space 9, Sisko assigned a [[Bajoran]], [[Major]] {{MA|Kira_Nerys|Kira Nerys}}, as his [[executive officer]], who also served as his [[liaison officer]], coordinating relations between the Federation and the Provisional Government.

Following its inception, one of the Provisional Government's first actions was to request a [[Federation]] presence in the [[Bajoran system]].<br> This led to the space station [[Terok Nor]] transforming into [[Deep Space 9]], commanded by [[Benjamin Sisko]] and [[Bajoran]] liaison [[Kira Nerys]]. The station was officially under [[Bajor]]'s control.
  
Further actions taken that year included the release of all Bajorans imprisoned for killing Cardassians during the Occupation and the enforcement of new building codes.
 
  
With the Federation's help, the Bajoran government began attempts to perform a massive [[energy]] transfer by tapping the [[molten core]] of its fifth [[moon]], [[Jeraddo]]. Minister [[Toran]] was in charge of the energy project and to ensure that the moon's occupants were evacuated. Toran refused to hold up progress for three stubborn hold-outs, [[Mullibok]], [[Baltrim]] and [[Keena]], and forced Kira Nerys to remove the residents. She did so under protest.

Further actions taken that year included the release of all [[Bajoran]]s imprisoned for killing [[Cardassian]]s during the [[Occupation of Bajor|Occupation]], and the enforcement of new building codes on Bajor.
  
When [[Aamin Marritza]] was arrested aboard Deep Space 9, and evidence of his presence at [[Gallitep]] was discovered, Minister of State [[Kaval]] congratulated Sisko for imprisoning Marritza, telling him he had performed a "special service" for Bajor. He refused to listen to Sisko's argument that [[Star Fleet]] did not have grounds for holding the Cardassian, bluntly stating that "''we will have him''". He later placed Kira Nerys in charge of the investigation.

By early [[2370]], the Provisional Government was becoming increasingly unpopular. Its members were seen as political opportunists and its decision-making was hampered by in-fighting. With the death of the Kai, Bajor was left without a strong central authority. Civil strife ensued, with factional and religious tensions brought to the surface. In this environment, the xenophobic [[Alliance for Global Unity]] emerged as a threat to the survival of the Provisional Government. Unbenownst to the Chamber of Ministers, the Circle was led by Minister [[Jaro Essa]], who saw an opportunity to advance his own political ambitions.
 
  
Jaro perceived a threat to his rise to  power, in the popularity of the war hero [[Li Nalas]], recently freed from a [[labor camp]] on [[Cardassia IV]]. Jaro dealt with it by transferring [[Major]] {{MA|Kira_Nerys|Kira Nerys}} to a surface post, and assigning Li to DS9. Without Li's unifying influence, riots erupted across the planet. Disgruntled Bajorans angrily demanded a new government that could stand on its own. Armed with weapons purchased from [[Kressari]] traders, the Circle clashed with [[Bajoran Militia]] forces with increasing frequency. The Provisional Government was forced to deploy troops in Bajor's capital to put down unrest. However, the Militia was unable to stop the Circle; each potential conflict led to a further withdrawal.

With the death of the current [[Kai]], Bajor was left without a strong central authority. Civil strife ensued, with factional and religious tensions brought to the surface. In this environment, the xenophobic group "Alliance for Global Unity" emerged as a threat to the survival of the Provisional Government.
  
Jaro soon attracted support from Bajoran religious and military leaders, including [[Vedek]] [[Winn]] and [[General]] [[Krim]]. The coup was only foiled when Major Kira and [[Jadzia Dax]] arrived on Bajor with recently uncovered evidence regarding the Circle's weapon suppliers, in a shipping manifest. [[Cardassian]]s, finding advantage in the Circle's disruption of Bajoran politics, had surreptitiously supplied the faction through intermediaries. The manifest, with a Cardassian [[Gul]]'s thumb signature, convinced the Chamber of Ministers in time to avert the coup.
 
  
Later that year, the Chamber of Ministers argued about irrigating the [[Trilar Peninsula]] for two days.

Riots erupted across the planet, with disgruntled [[Bajoran]]s demanding a new government that could stand on its own. The [[Bajoran Militia]] faces frequent clashes with armed civilians, and the Provisional Government was forced to deploy troops in Bajor's capital to quell the unrest. There was an attempted coup, which would have come to fruition had their weapons supplier not been uncovered. [[Cardassian]]s were taking advantage of [[Bajor]]'s situation, using weapons and subterfuge to insert themselves into Bajoran politics.  
  
Another major crisis in that year for the Provisional Government was the arrival of three million [[Skrreea]] refugees through the [[wormhole]] from the [[Gamma Quadrant]]. Their leader, [[Haneek]], believing that Bajor was [[Kentanna]], a promised land for the Skrreeans, petitioned the Provisional Government to allow them to settle on the planet. The Provisional Government considered Haneek's request, but in the end denied the Skrreea permission to immigrate, noting that it was having difficulty fixing the planet's existing problems.
 
  
Later that year, the Chamber of Ministers agreed to hand over three Cardassian dissidents &ndash; [[Natima Lang]], [[Rekelen]] and [[Hogue]] &ndash; to the [[Cardassian Union]] in exchange for the release of a half-dozen Bajoran prisoners.

Another major crisis in [[2370|that year]] for the Provisional Government was the arrival of three million [[Skrreea]] refugees through the [[wormhole]] from the [[Gamma Quadrant]]. Their leader, believing that Bajor was their fabled Promised Land, petitioned the Provisional Government to allow them to settle on the planet. However, the request was eventually denied, citing the planet's difficulties to fix their own, current problems.  
  
Sometime prior to [[2370]], the Provisional Government announced the [[Ilvian Proclamation]]. This declared that every Bajoran who was a member of the [[Bajoran Occupational Government]] was sentenced to exile, and included a list of named individuals so exiled.
 
  
[[Kalem Apren]] was the [[First Minister]] in [[2371]]. When he died from natural causes, Kai [[Winn Adami]] briefly assumed the position. Bajor was almost plunged into another [[civil war]] due to Winn's heavy-handed attempts to reclaim [[soil reclamator]]s from farmers in [[Dahkur Province]]. However, farmer and former [[Bajoran Resistance]] leader [[Shakaar Edon]] was able to win significant popular and military support for his cause. He entered the subsequent [[election]] for First Minister and won after Winn was forced to withdraw from the race.

Later that [[2370|same year]], the Chamber of Ministers agreed to hand over three Cardassian dissidents to the [[Cardassian Union]] in exchange for the release of a half-dozen Bajoran prisoners of war.
  
In [[2373]], the Bajoran government successfully petitioned the Federation for membership.  However, the Council of Ministers voted to delay their acceptance after [[Captain]] [[Benjamin Sisko]], having had a series of visions, warned that it was too soon to join &ndash; that doing so would destroy Bajor. Sisko was later confronted by [[Admiral]] [[Charlie Whatley]], who asked Sisko to contact the Chamber of Ministers and convince them that he was mistaken, but Sisko refused.
 
  
Later that year, the Bajoran government declined to intervene when [[Hagath]] and his associates sold weapons within the Bajoran system. Hagath had sold weapons to the [[Bajoran Resistance]], and it was felt that the Bajorans at least partially owed their freedom to Hagath and people like him.

The Bajoran Provisional Government was the government established on Bajor following the withdrawal of Cardassian occupational forces in 2369.
It succeeded the Bajoran Occupational Government, and is now known as the Bajoran Republic.


History

The First Year

Following its inception, one of the Provisional Government's first actions was to request a Federation presence in the Bajoran system.
This led to the space station Terok Nor transforming into Deep Space 9, commanded by Benjamin Sisko and Bajoran liaison Kira Nerys. The station was officially under Bajor's control.


Further actions taken that year included the release of all Bajorans imprisoned for killing Cardassians during the Occupation, and the enforcement of new building codes on Bajor.


Troubled Times

By early 2370, the Provisional Government was becoming increasingly unpopular. Its members were seen as political opportunists, and its decision-making was hampered by in-fighting.


With the death of the current Kai, Bajor was left without a strong central authority. Civil strife ensued, with factional and religious tensions brought to the surface. In this environment, the xenophobic group "Alliance for Global Unity" emerged as a threat to the survival of the Provisional Government.


Riots erupted across the planet, with disgruntled Bajorans demanding a new government that could stand on its own. The Bajoran Militia faces frequent clashes with armed civilians, and the Provisional Government was forced to deploy troops in Bajor's capital to quell the unrest. There was an attempted coup, which would have come to fruition had their weapons supplier not been uncovered. Cardassians were taking advantage of Bajor's situation, using weapons and subterfuge to insert themselves into Bajoran politics.


Another major crisis in that year for the Provisional Government was the arrival of three million Skrreea refugees through the wormhole from the Gamma Quadrant. Their leader, believing that Bajor was their fabled Promised Land, petitioned the Provisional Government to allow them to settle on the planet. However, the request was eventually denied, citing the planet's difficulties to fix their own, current problems.


Later that same year, the Chamber of Ministers agreed to hand over three Cardassian dissidents to the Cardassian Union in exchange for the release of a half-dozen Bajoran prisoners of war.


Sometime prior to 2370, the Provisional Government announced the "Ilvian Proclamation." This declared that every Bajoran who was a member of the Bajoran Occupational Government was sentenced to exile.


Kalem Apren became the First Minister in 2371. When he died from natural causes, Kai Winn Adami briefly assumed the position.

  • Bajor was almost plunged into another civil war due to Winn's heavy-handed attempts to reclaim farming equipment for other uses.
  • Farmer and former Bajoran Resistance leader Shakaar Edon was able to win significant popular and military support for his cause against this.
    He entered the subsequent election for First Minister, and won after Winn was forced to withdraw from the race.


In 2373, the Bajoran government successfully petitioned the Federation for membership. However, the Bajoran Council of Ministers voted to delay their acceptance after Captain Benjamin Sisko, having had a series of visions from the Bajoran Orbs, warned that it was too soon to join – that doing so would destroy Bajor.


The Dominion War

In late 2373, the Provisional Government signed a nonaggression pact with the Dominion, following its endorsement by the Emissary, who argued that it was Bajor's only chance of survival. With the Federation forced to abandon Deep Space 9 due to war tensions, the station was occupied by Dominion and Cardassian forces, who were officially welcomed into Bajoran space by Major Kira on behalf of the Provisional Government.


In early 2375, the Provisional Government accepted a request from Senator Kimara Cretak of the Romulan Star Empire to build a field hospital on the Bajoran moon Derna to treat injured Romulans. When evidence emerged that the Romulans had begun arming the facility with plasma torpedoes, the Council of Ministers objected to this action, and demanded that the Romulans remove the weapons. The Romulans refused, forcing the two allies into a tense stand-off. The Council of Ministers authorized now-Colonel Kira Nerys to blockade the hospital, providing her with twelve ships.


Structure

The chief executive of the Provisional Government was known as the First Minister, who was elected every six years.

There were a number of Ministers who served in the Provisional Government, and were known collectively over the duration of the government as the Bajoran Council, Board of Ministers, Chamber of Ministers and the Council of Ministers.

One high-ranking minister was the Minister of State.


Relationship with Religious Leaders

The secular Provisional Government shared its authority with the leaders of the Bajoran religion. The Vedek Assembly held much influence, with prominent Vedeks often engaging in political matters, such as negotiating treaties.


The Kai, spiritual leader of Bajor, exercised a great deal of political influence over the Provisional Government. Disputes between the Kai and the First Minister of the government, while rare, could be extremely divisive. While it was not forbidden for the Kai to serve as First Minister, such concentration of power was discouraged, as they would then be in charge of both "church and state." The Kai was permitted to engage in foreign policy, including negotiating and signing treaties on behalf of Bajor, in consultation with the secular authorities.


The Emissary, Benjamin Sisko, also had significant clout in the Provisional Government. Ministers sought his advice on political programs and schemes. Any measures endorsed by the Emissary were likely to pass the Council of Ministers.



Agencies and Institutes

The Provisional Government maintained a number of executive agencies that assisted in the administration of its affairs. It was also oversaw several institutes for science and the arts. These included:


Military

The Bajoran Militia was the military arm of the Bajoran Provisional Government, originally made up of many former resistance fighters from the Occupation of Bajor.


Although officially under the control of the Provisional Government, some members of the organization supported the Alliance of Global Unity's unsuccessful coup attempt in 2370.
After the attempt was defeated, the leader and the Militia confirmed their allegiance to the Provisional Government.
