Been a little curious as to how any of the TNG material regarding Bajoran history can be remotely reconciled with what is learned in DS9.
The first time we learn of the Bajoran people is in "Ensign Ro", which is named for Ro Laren, a disgraced Bajoran officer.
Discrepancies with DS9 are somewhat numerous:
- Laren wears her Bajoran earring adornment on the wrong ear. This is a relatively minor issue, all things considering.
- The Bajoran people are constantly referred to as both "Bajora" and "Bajoran". The "Bajora" term would not be preserved for DS9.
- The Bajoran people are described as wanderers after "the Cardassians annexed their homeworld". DS9 would very much show and explain that Bajorans remained on Bajor after the Cardassians arrived.
- No reference is made to the "Celestial Temple" or the "Prophets". This is also a minor issue, but a noteworthy one given how often Bajoran culture incorporates the Prophets into almost every aspect of their lives. The absence of reference to the "Celestial Temple" is understandable given the fact that, chronologically, the wormhole had yet to be verified.
- Laren and the Bajorans have nose ridges in TNG and DS9. TNG gives additional ridges above the nose and over the eyes. This isn't a major issue given how extraterrestrial makeup is handled with the franchise.
- In "The Next Phase", Laren mentions "borhyas" (or "brohyas") instead of the "pagh" which would be used frequently to describe a Bajoran soul or spirit in DS9.
- Also in "The Next Phase", Worf states that the Bajoran Death Chant is two hours long, and it's clear that Laren has no great desire to even acknowledge or listen to it. Another cultural detail which would be quietly forgotten or ignored in DS9, though extensive funerals weren't always shown either.
Laren's last appearance (from an episode standpoint) was in "Preemptive Strike", a Maquis episode. Future references to Laren occur in novels and/or comics (which are probably non-canon unless otherwise stated or retconned).
