Sarda is a newly hired dabo girl who complains to Commander Sisko that her employment contract with Quark contains a clause obliging her to provide the Ferengi with sexual favours.
Miss Sarda appears in the opening scene of the first-season episode Captive Pursuit. Recently taken on at Quark's, she comes to Sisko's office to object to the way her employer has been treating her.
She explains that Quark has been making advances and, when she protested, pointed to the small print of her contract, which she had signed without reading closely. Sisko reads the offending clause, assures her that no such term will be enforced on his station and promises to have a word with Quark.
The conversation is cut short by the arrival of an unknown ship through the wormhole, which begins the main story of Tosk. Brief as it is, the scene is an early look at Ferengi employment practices, a subject the series returns to in Bar Association.
