Changes: Collaborator

Revision as of 03:05, 24 January 2015

For the DS9 episode with a similar title, please see "The Collaborator".

"Selling out their own world for a profit. Collaborators ... Not even a Ferengi would do that."

A collaborator is an individual who is, almost always, willing to serve or sympathize with the people who conquered their lands. For this, they are often hated by their own.

During the Occupation of Bajor, several Bajorans served as Cardassian collaborators including Secretary Kubus Oak and Basso Tromac. (DS9: "The Collaborator", "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night") These collaborators either served the Cardassians directly, or provided the Cardassians with information on the Bajoran Resistance.

Kevin Uxbridge was suspected of being a collaborator after the whole Delta Rana IV colony was destroyed by the Husnock and only the Uxbridges' house was spared. (TNG: "The Survivors")

In 2365, a Bajoran chemist named Vaatrik, who lived on Terok Nor during the Occupation, served as a direct link between Gul Dukat and at least eight Bajoran sympathizers. (DS9: "Necessary Evil")

During the Dominion Occupation of Deep Space Nine, Kira Nerys (who originally saw this occupation as different from the Occupation of Bajor due to the more gentle conditions), worked alongside the Dominion in running the station. However when Vedek Yassim killed herself on the Promenade in protest of the Dominion, Kira realized that, by not doing anything to fight the Dominion but instead being willing to defend them, she had unknowingly become a collaborator and started a resistance cell on the station to fight back. (DS9: "Rocks and Shoals")

Bajoran "comfort women" were also often accused of being collaborators. (DS9: "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night")

In his war against the Dominion's occupation of Cardassia, Damar initially refused to attack any Cardassian guards, but ex-resistance fighter Kira countered that they were collaborators, and that the Dominion would place a Cardassian garrison at every critical facility once they realized that he wouldn't attack his own people. (DS9: "When It Rains...")
