Dal did not consider himself a traitor to his people. He served in the military all his life, and he believed that what was once an institution dedicated to the security of Cardassia became little more than a platform for ambitious Guls hoping to make their reputations in battle. He was sick of war and felt his people needed peace, so if the information he provided to Starfleet would deter even one pointless border skirmish, he will have served his purpose. TNG: Lower Decks |
Dal, Joret - Male - Member of the
Cardassian military and a Federation operative. In 2370 Dal risked his
life to come to the Enterprise-E in an escape pod and provide
invaluable information about Cardassia's strategic intentions —
information that would enhance the security of Bajor as well as other
nearby planets. It was imperative that Dal be returned to Cardassian space
safely, so Captain Picard recruited Ensign Sito, a Bajoran, to accompany
him in the shuttlecraft Curie. The plan was for Dal to pretend that
he stole the Federation shuttlecraft, and Sito would pose as a Bajoran
terrorist that Dal had taken prisoner. He would cross the border by
claiming to be a bounty hunter, and bribe patrol guards if necessary. Sito
was to return to Federation space in an escape pod. The plan succeeded in
getting Dal home, but Sito was killed in the escape pod on the way back,
according to an intercepted Cardassian report.
