Inim Eratt

Inim Eratt is the Prime Legate of the Fleet. She is the youngest of the five Prime Legates and known for her guerilla war against the Cardassian Republic, as well as her role in the Talarian - Cardassian War of 2391. She is often seen as an example of meritocracy, since she cannot trace her lineage to one of the noble families, but instead rose through the ranks of first the Obsidian Order and later the fleet. She is only one of the few people that are experienced in both the Obsidian Order and the Cardassian Fleet.

## Early Life (2340 - 2360)

Inim Eratt was born 2340 in Lakarian City (Cardassia Prime) as daughter of an administrative worker and military nurse. She was considered a prodigy early on and taken into the military in 2357 at the age of 17, where she served in the military intelligence on board the CDS Gelkar (Galor Class Cruiser) during the late stage of the Federation-Cardassian War. With the end of this conflict and the treaty, the Gelkar was part of the Cardassian Homedefense and thus stationed on Cardassia Prime. In this period she married Uir Carim in 2359, with whom she had a daugther. When Uir Carim was found to be sympathising with liberal elements, she annulated the marriage in late 2360 and applied for a new position to advance her military carrier, but also got away from this chapter of her life.

## Celtis-III and Obsidian Order (2360 - 2370)

Inim Errats application was granted and she was asigned to the military intelligence on Celtis-III. Here she met Muir Kar, an egineer, who would later become her lover and then wife. Muir supported her with the child, while Inim Errat progressed in her military career. She served under Gul Madred between 2360 and 2370. In this time, Madred recommended her to the Obsidian Order, where she was initiated in late 2370 and stationed on Cardassia Prime along with her wife.

## The Dominion Years (2371 - 2375)

During the failed charge on the Founders Homeworld in 2371, she hence survived the onslaught. With the power of the order diminished, Korinas transformed the remains in an underground society, the Dor'Mir. Inim Erratt was one of the shadow operatives. The civilian uprising overthrew the Central Command in 2372, reinstating the authority of the civilian Detapa Council. After the Cardassian Union joined the Dominion, the Obsidian Order's role was assumed by Dominion security in the form of the Cardassian Intelligence Bureau, which Inim Errat was part of, but true loyality remained with Dor'Mir. When Gul Dukat took over the cardassian rule in 2373 and made it a puppet to the Dominion, Inim Errat prepared for countering the ursupator with the ressources of the Dor'Mir. The connection to Korinas however was severed by Dominion agents, but Inim Errat could - with the help of her wife - keep up her identity and went unharmed. To not endager her family any further, she applied for a position in the fleet again and served on the CDS Gar'Arres, a Talor Class Battlecruiser, as a intelligence and decyphering specialist. She was quiete popular with her department, earning the trust of many high ranking officers.

## Personal loss and Rebellion (2375 - 2382)

The CDS Gar'Arres served in the fleet defending Cardassia Prime when news of the bombardement of Lakarian City reached her. She staged a mutiny and took control over the Gar'Arres and turned the ship against the Dominion lines, thus helping in breaking the enemy. In the aftermath of the battle, she pursuit rogue Dominion forces with a cluster of the fleet, taking informal command of the squadron. In the months after the battle, she and fellow officers grew increasingly dissatisfied with the aftermath of the war and growing Federation influence. She and the group around her opposed the Rigel Accords as outcome of the Conference for Cardassias Future, which she deemed as selling out Cardassia to foreign interestes. She hence deserted the main fleet and moved towards the outer rims of cardassian territory, where she staged a long going guerilla war against trade routes, colonies and outposts of the republic and its allies. During this time, she developed a talent as an administrator, excelling past the role of a usual admiral in making connection to other powers. Noteably, she cooperated with Nausicaan Raiders and also managed to get contracts with Lissepian Entrepreneurs to supply and repair the fleet. When the rift between the conservative forces around Macet and Madred on one side and the progressives around Natima Lang and Elim Garak on the other side escalated, Inim Errat joined forces with her former mentor from Celtis-III again in the Cardassian Civil war.

## Rebirth of the Union and Talarian War (2385 - 2390)

After the Talarian War, Inim Errat was promoted to Prime Legate of the Fleet. She followed the retirering Kar'Teir.

## Concord and current life (2386 - 2402)

Inim Errat is largely responsible for rebuilding of the fleet, as well as coordinating with the allies of the Concord (Tholia, Lissepia, Gorn Hegemony, Nausica). She has faught battles against the Breen and the Borg between 2390 and 2400), always leading from the front, even if the other members of the Central Command don't like this endevours, since a loss of one of the "living heroes" would be damaging to morale.
