Bajorans are a humanoid race from the planet Bajor, they  are a very spiritual people and their history has produced many great architects, artists, builders and philosophers. They have only recently been allowed to rebuild their culture, after three decades of Cardassian occupation. Bajor was claimed by Cardassia in 2328. Cardassians annexed Bajor to the Cardassian Union in 2339, and occupied the system until 2369, when the Bajoran resistance finally drove them off. The Bajorans requested Federation assistance in rebuilding their civilization, and in running the space station the Cardassians constructed and left behind. The Federation is currently still operating this station, known as Deep Space Nine.

Bajorans have a small upper nasal ridge on their faces, which is the main difference between them and humans. They prefer to wear earrings on their right ear which signifie their religion to the prophets.

Bajorans developed an intolerance of Cardassians due to the recent Cardassian occupation of Bajor. The Bajoran sense of spirituality is so strong that they have developed a very strong will due to their faith. Most Bajorans have studied their religion fairly extensively. Also, most Bajorans with a highly-developed faith are also devoted to the rebuilding of their world.
