Kira Nerys's father, a Bajoran who struggled to keep his family alive in a refugee camp during the Cardassian occupation.
Kira Taban is the husband of Kira Meru and the father of Kira Nerys. In Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night, Kira travels through the Orb of Time to the occupation years and learns her mother was taken from the refugee center to serve Cardassian officers.
Kira sees Meru receive a message from Taban thanking her because her companionship with Dukat has won the family release from the camp, a return home and extra food. Realizing that her own survival depended on her mother's choice, Kira warns Dukat and Meru of her bomb. Taban was played by Thomas Kopache.
