Roche

Roche was a Bajoran man who was a crewmember and engineer of the Lotos. Roche's parents fled the Occupation of Bajor before he was born.

When Rugal Pa'Dar asked Ellen Smith if he could temporarily join the crew of the Lotos, Roche was the crewmember most opposed to Rugal coming aboard, commenting that having a Cardassian on-board could be trouble. Roche initially thought that Bajor should not join the Federation, although he did change his opinion once Bajor actually did join.
