Alon Ghemor

Emblem of the Cardassian Union

Alon Ghemor was a Cardassian male who rose into a leadership role on post-war Cardassia.

Alon was the nephew of Legate Tekeny Ghemor, and cousin of Iliana Ghemor.

The young Alon had a compact athletic build and attended the Bamarren Institute for State Intelligence where he was given the designation Five Lubak. Five was recruited by Ten Lubak and Eight Lubak to assist in Barkan Lokar's team in the institute’s mock battle competition. He was part of Eight Lubak's team flanking the enemy.

In the aftermath of the Dominion War Alon began to form a democratic political movement which he called the Reunion Project. His supporters -- including Doctor Parmak and Elim Garak (the former Ten Lubak at Bamarran) -- quickly grew in numbers, but he faced strong opposition from a counter political group called the Directorate. The two groups eventually agreed to hold a voting competition. Ghemor's group won four out of six of the sectors of Cardassia City and moved to create a democratic government. (DS9 novel: A Stitch in Time)

Ghemor was assassinated in 2379 when it appeared to some that he was becoming too close to the Federation in his efforts to stabilize Cardassia. (DS9 short story: "The Calling")

"The Calling" takes place in 2380, a year after Ghemor's assassination. It will be some time before it is featured/mentioned in the Deep Space Nine relaunch book series, which is now in early 2377.
