It just dawned on me the other day, but in the entire run of DS9 we never saw any of the MANY Bajorans who serve in Starfleet on Deep Space Nine.
I think this would have been excellent potential for both storyline and the much coveted "conflict". Imagine what Bajoran Militia officers might have thought of Bajoran Starfleet officers. I imagine that the Bajorans in Starfleet somehow escaped Cardassia, and then made something of themselves: all the while living in luxury with both comfort and food and also serving in an organization that refused to intercede to help Bajor.
I'd love to have heard the conversations between such characters, and also what Starfleet Bajorans thought of Sisko as the Emissary, etc.
Strange they never went down this direction even once or twice, don't you think?

I know that the actress who plays Ro did not want to commit to a six year contract because she liked doing movies and new parts.
As for Sito Jaxa, I remember hearing the rumors that they'd be doing an episode with her, but I could never figure out what the plot would be. Still would have been cool, and also nice to know that she survived.
I don't know why but Ensign Ro is one of my favorite non-regular ST characters, she was hot, fiesty, and fresh to the show at the time. I liked fact she was a rebel and didn't give a f&%k!
