Shakaar Edon

First Minister Shakaar Edon in 2373.

Shakaar Edon (2328-2376) was the First Minister of the Republic of Bajor from 2371 to 2376. A former leader in the Bajoran Resistance, Shakaar achieved prominence as the leader of a major anti-Cardassian cell. He defeated Winn Adami in 2371 and presided over Bajor during the Dominion War, keping it nominally neutral but a de facto Federation ally. Shakaar's government also prevented the Romulan Star Empire from fortifying a Bajoran moon, even order the Bajoran Milita to blockade the moon in the face of the Imperial Romulan Fleet.

In 2376, during a goodwill tour of the Federation, Shakaar Edon was infested by a Parasite; the Parasite infesting him forced him to issue orders to Second Minister Asarem Wadeen to stonewall peace negotiations with the Cardassian Union; at the ceremony signing the documents bringing the Republic of Bajor into the Federation, Shakaar was assassinated by Hiziki Gard, a joined Trill who had discovered his infestation status.

Shakaar's age is conjecutre based upon the age of actor Duncan Regehr at the time of 2000, which is the year that would have coincided with the fictional year of late 2376, in what would have been DS9's eighth season.
