At the same time, the fracturing of Bajor's theology has put its people on the threshold of a startling transformation -- and the consequences now rest on the shoulders of Colonel Kira Nerys, who months ago defied the religious authority of her planet by making public an ancient heretical text that challenged the very foundation of the Bajoran faith. \u003cbr\u003e Now, after a harrowing and historic voyage of exploration in the Gamma Quadrant, the weary, wounded crew of \u003ci\u003eStarship Defiant\u003c\/i\u003e is at last coming home.
