Though Questa had not graduated from the Academy, she had been given an honourary rank of Glinn under her own name in PR and information gathering. In the past, she had gone undercover as a D'ja Casik Jevun, serving Damar in Information Gathering c. 2376.

==Philanthropy==
Because of her continued interest in helping children and those of Cardassia, as well as making a good name for her husband, Questa had been involved in a wide arrange of charitable projects. Her main projects have involved the organization and building of orphanages, not just on Cardassia but on Earth as well. One orphanage in particular is in Brazil and run by her daughter Miniya. Her daughters, especially Miniya and Lali, have taken over from her works. Questa was able to rejuvenate the Cardassian ideals of orphans and bring in more tolerance to non-Cardassians on the planet.
==Cybelean==
Before arriving to Deep Space 9, Questa wandered throughout space for a couple hundred years in frozen state. Her ship resembled a small frozen rock that arrived to the station during the time that Cardassia and Dominion were there. After probing it and finding her life signature she was interrogated and jailed in case she was a Federation spy. She was let go and placed at single quarters under Damar’s supervision after it was proven she posed no danger to the Dominion.
Cybeleans are an extinct society. Her people were an all-female species. Cybelean society uphold very strict laws and follow a caste system, where upper class society is distinguished by the number of children a family has. No family is allowed to have more than 3 children since every time a Cybelean becomes pregnant with a child, their mental abilities are enhanced greatly. Their abilities include telepathy, mind control, and/or telekinesis, the latter being the most rare of their skills. Their telepathy is based on images, not on words, and they can share information with people by simply letting the other person ‘see’ what they have. Cybeleans always communicated in this way, having a very underdeveloped spoken language.
Majority of the women in the society are not allowed to have any children at all, those women form part of the Provider group. No children does not necessarily mean poverty, but according to their abilities and cultural intellect they are paired with a mother to care for her. Most families are composed of a Provider, a Mother, and 1 child. Cybeleans are extremely fertile and as such their government controls population by deciding the number of children any selected Mother may have. The Cybelean Council send young women when they are of right age to mate so that they can have children and continue their race. Some mating are arranged if the family has enough pull to make such contracts; otherwise, the young Cybelean is sent out on her own to find an adequate partner for a night, as that is all that is necessary before she returns to the planet. With the exception of this mating travel, the species is a hermit race. Cybeleans are compatible with all species and while they may mate with races such as Klingons, Cardassians, or whoever their bodies don't really 'mix' genes. Their bodies simply need the male partner to actually get their system running and form the baby. Babies all are born females. Because of their natural ability for mind sharing, babies can often start ‘speaking’ through images since they are in the womb; however, they do not develop the capability of speech until a much later age after birth.
On her arrival, Questa was a very naive girl being extremely straight forward in her thoughts and actions, never having been outside of her planet or interacted with any other species. When she learned of her species demise, her first instinct was to procreate immediately. She feels it is her duty to her race to have as many children as possible for her. She was raised to be a Mother and a Companion for the Provider. Her species had no notion of marriage, but having interacted in the Cardassian society she learned of their customs and aims for one, or at least to be with someone, feeling that the stability would allow her to have a more comfortable access to mating in order to have children. She is extremely children-oriented, having a very soft heart for them to the point that she takes in children she interacts with as her own.
==Mirror Universe==
Because of her unique telepathic abilities and her species penchant for reproduction, her species is highly valued in the mUniverse. Considered rare, when her double was uncontrollable and too erratic, members of the mUniverse opted to cross over and target Questa and often her children from the regular side. Crossing over and attempts have been minimized by Cardassias very strict laws on mirror entities.
==Vessa Zoren==
Vessa Zoren (played by unknown model) is simply the alias of Questa once had upon her return from the mUniverse. Legally, Vessa was the fifth wife to Legate Damar. They were married on October 19, 2379 but soon separated when Vessa discovered her true identity.
