History[]
In 2372, Kira Nerys wanted to name the planet Cha'Xirrac "Sylshessa", after the apocalyptic connection was brought up by the USS Defiant crew, who favored the name "Armageddon" from Human mythology. Kira was overruled by Jadzia Dax because there was already the Tellarite colony on planet Sylshessa. (DS9 - Day of Honor novel: Armageddon Sky)
