Dakahna Vaas (mirror)

In the mirror universe, Dakahna Vaas was a $𝜇$ female who lived during the 24th century.

By the 2350s, she was a member of the Bajoran dissident movement. In the latter part of that decade, she became romantically involved with a $𝜇$ officer named $𝜇$ and they eventually married. However, the marriage was kept secret as it was forbidden for Cardassians to marry other races for fear of contaminating the bloodline.

Prior to 2377, Rhukal assassinated $𝜇$ and subsequently confessed to the crime under interrogation supervised by $𝜇$, Ghemor's successor as director of the $𝜇$. After the Iliana Ghemor of the primary universe arrived in his universe and assumed the identity of Intendant $𝜇$, she attempted to discover his fate as his primary universe counterpart had been her fiancé prior to his death on Bajor in 2359. This attracted the attention of senior figures within the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance, who regarded it as suspicious given Rhukal's affiliation with the Bajoran dissidents.

Consequently, Regent $𝜇$ sent the Obsidian Order agent $𝜇$ to the to speak with Iliana and instruct her to report to him on Raknal Station. However, Iliana had her Jem'Hadar accomplice Taran'tar coerce Entek into "confessing" that Rhukal was innocent and that he was the true assassin of Tekeny Ghemor. Furthermore, he claimed that he had done so at the behest of $𝜇$, Ghemor's successor as director of the Obsidian Order. The confession was recorded on an isolinear rod. Iliana claimed that he had committed suicide only hours after making that statement. In response to this "revelation," Martok stabbed Lang with his d'k tagh, killing her instantly.

Following Rhukal's release, Ghemor invited him aboard the Negh'Var as a guest, where he was witness to the recapture of $𝜇$ from the Terran Rebellion. When Ghemor ordered the destruction from orbit of the dissident enclave in Vekobet in the Kendra Province, Rhukal pleaded with her to reconsider as Dakahna was among the dissidents. Ghemor was shocked by the revelation that he and Dakahna were married as, in her universe, Dakahna Vaas, had been responsible for Rhukal's death in 2359. However, she acceded to his request and ordered the Negh'Var's $𝜇$ troops not to kill any of the Vekobet dissidents.

After Dakahna was captured and taken to Terok Nor, Ghemor accused her of having manipulated her husband for over 15 years, theorising that she had been instructed by the dissident movement to become close to Rhukal during his assignment on Bajor so that they would have an agent on $𝜇$ in the future. Although Dakahna strenuously denied this, Ghemor felt that the strength of her reaction meant that her hypothesis was true. Nevertheless, she believed that Dakahna did eventually grow to love Rhukal and assisted them in escaping Terok Nor once the station came under attack from the $𝜇$ and a fleet of $𝜇$ vessels.
