I really felt like they missed an opportunity not returning to her later on. The moment that her actual fate got leaked to the public, that planet would have become a place of pilgrimage for Bajorans, and someone would have tried to make it the seat of a schismatic sect. It could have upended the entire Bajoran theocracy.
Wait a sec, so TNG has Yarr, Voyager is obvious, but who dies in DS9 season 1?
Sisko’s wife?
Oooooooof. Nice, true.
Not main cast. No one on the ship died in season 1. The crew compliment was the same when the season started as when it ended with no additional crew.
Kai Opaca… well kinda dies.
Can you imagine if Opaka stuck around?
