A Bajoran vedek in the episode Sanctuary who accompanies Minister Rozahn to Deep Space 9 and conveys the Vedek Assembly's support for turning away the Skrreean refugees.
Vedek Sorad is a Bajoran cleric who appears in the second-season episode Sanctuary. He comes to Deep Space 9 alongside Minister Rozahn after the Skrreean leader Haneek asks leave to settle her three million people on an empty stretch of Bajor that she believes to be their promised Kentanna.
Sorad speaks for the Vedek Assembly, which has considered the petition together with the Provisional Government. He tells Haneek, with evident regret, that Bajor cannot take the risk while its own people are short of food.
The ruling places Kira Nerys, who had befriended Haneek, in the painful position of defending it, and Haneek leaves saying that Bajor has become frightened and suspicious. The Skrreea are directed to the uninhabited planet Draylon II.
