He fled the planet, with his daughter Yareth, who he placed in stasis on a planet in the Chamra Vortex. Croden himself boarded a Klingon ship, that brought him to DS9.
	AH-KEL PLAYED BY: Randy Oglesby SPECIES:  Miradorn Male Ah-Kel was a Miradorn, who along with his twin brother Ro-Kel, visited the space station Deep Space 9 in 2369. The purpose of his visit was to attempt to sell a stolen item via Quark to a buyer who wouldn't ask questions. However, their purpose was disrupted by the appearance of Croden, a Rakhari fugitive who demanded to be given the item, at gunpoint.
	RO-KEL PLAYED BY: Randy Oglesby SPECIES: Miradorn Male Ro-Kel was a Miradorn, who along with his twin brother Ah-Kel, visited the space station Deep Space 9 in 2369.

As a Miradorn, Ah-Kel became vengeful over Ro-Kel's death, and attempted to enact his vengeance against Croden.
	HADRAN PLAYED BY: Gordon Clapp SPECIES: Rakhar Male Hadran was the Exarch of Nehelik Province on Rakhar in 2369. He was contacted by Benjamin Sisko and Jadzia Dax who had traveled to the planet aboard the USS Rio Grande. Sisko and Dax informed him of Croden's arrest on Deep Space 9 for the murder of Ro-Kel. Hadran demanded that he be returned to Rahkar for punishment for the crimes that he committed there. His "crimes" were later determined to be his spoken criticism of the government.
	VULCAN CAPTAIN PLAYED BY: Kathleen Garrett SPECIES: Vulcan Female The Vulcan captain of the Vulcan science vessel T'Vran offered assistance to a Starfleet runabout piloted by Odo outside the Chamra Vortex in 2369. She transported two Rakhari survivors rescued from the vortex back to Vulcan.
	YARETH PLAYED BY: Leslie Engelberg SPECIES: Rakhar Female Yareth was a Rakhari girl sentenced to death for the crimes of her father, Croden. She escaped execution by hiding in a stasis pod on an asteroid in the Chamra Vortex. In 2369, Croden tricked Odo into helping him free his daughter by persuading the Changeling that there were others of his kind on the asteroid. With Odo's help, Croden revived Yareth. Rather than turning them in, Odo transferred Yareth and her father to a Vulcan ship.
