I've thoroughly enjoyed exploring the revamped DS9, as I'm sure all of us have, but I'm even more intrigued by the changes to NPCs around the game.
Recently, I was playing through "Temporal Ambassador" for the first time on a new character, and was surprised to see that Ambassador Skyl was replaced with Elim Garak. I've also noticed that Quark seems to have replaced Hadron, and recently discovered that in "The Ultimate Klingon" P'Trell has been replaced with Julian Bashir. While I don't know for certain, I'm pretty sure Eraun has been replaced with Weyoun in the Cardassian story arc episodes. That just leaves one question:
Where's Kira? I've checked DS9 and Bajor, and so far she seems to be the only DS9 character unaccounted for. Has anyone found her?

Unrelated, but what about Skyl's other appearances? (2800, on the sphere...)
Given what we've seen from previous canon character introductions, I am fairly certain that Skyl has been replaced in every one of his appearances.
As for Nerys, I checked the temple on Haathon, and she's not there. I had wondered if they'd replace Vedek Krin with Nerys, but the Vedek is still there.
Also to the guy asking about Rugan Skyl: he's totally gone now. Just Garak.
TRIBBLE Hydra! Hail Janeway!
Hooray! We found Nerys! Makes sense that Rom would be there (and I suppose that Leeta would be with him). I had also been pretty sure that Garak had completely replaced Skyl. Thanks for the confirmation!
RIP Ambassador Skyl, 2012-2018.
I bet some interactions will have changes as a result of this - I can't imagine the Skyl-Bajorian argument on the sphere being the same with Garak and Kira, for instance.
One thing I'm really loving about STO now is we're getting character crossovers that we never got while the shows were on the air!
FTFY
I have a feeling the Garak/Kira argument would be far more entertaining. Perhaps at the conference in "Surface Tension" they'll give Garak another name tag that reads "Elim Garak: Former Cardassian Oppressor".

That would be because Hathon isn't Bajor's capital, it's just a major city. Kai Kira would be in Ashalla. http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Ashalla

That had occurred to me (I hadn't actually checked Memory Beta, and Memory Alpha didn't have a capital listed). However, as the capital hasn't been shown in STO, and given how other characters had been replaced, I had suspected they might replace Vedek Krin with Kira. Obviously, as she is a head of state, the way they've factored her into the story works much better.
Spiritual leader. She's not head of state or government, just a space Pope. The First Minister is the head of state & government. Even if the Kai has a great deal of influence, it is unofficial.
