Kell
- Male - Legate
A member of the Cardassian Central Command.
Key Cardassian during the subjugation of Bajor. Kell
was Gul Dukat's superior during the Cardassian Occupation. He secretly
included commands in the main computer which would ensure that Dukat could
not leave the station if the self destruct mechanism was activated.
His counterinsurgency
program booby trap on Deep Space 9 was accidentally triggered by Jake Sisko several years after Cardassian withdrawal.
He left this message for Dukat: "Dukat... if you're seeing this
recording, it means you tried to abandon your post while the station's
self-destruct sequence was engaged. That will not be permitted. You have
lost control of Terok Nor, disgracing yourself and Cardassia. Your attempt
to escape is no doubt a final act of cowardice. All fail-safes have been
eliminated. Your personal access codes have been rescinded. The destruct
sequence can no longer be halted. All you can do now is contemplate the
depth of your disgrace. And try to die like a Cardassian".DS9: Civil
