This is currently a figment of an idea, but I think it would be interesting to give Judy someone she can talk to about the challenges of command, and all the crazy stuff that happens out here. Someone who has a similar-ish experience to a command in terms of responsibility (not necessarily Starfleet, any kind of broad position of authority), that she can talk to as an equal. If the writer is interested, we can get into this sounding board's own experiences and struggles too.
I'm open to doing a one-off thing, or a recurring bit. Very open to y'all's ideas and would-be NPCs.

Okay, I have the start of an idea for this. I'm seeing a Bajoran food cart vendor on the station, maybe has a ship. He's retired Bajoran military of some kind, fought the Dominion. I can see these old timers having a meaningful connection.

I can see these old timers having a meaningful connection. That could work very well. Would this be someone she meets on the station, or that she met sometime during the war? |

I would be open to either scenario, but I do prefer characters who have a common history even if we don't fully map it out before hand and 'discover' it as we go. Maybe they haven't seen each other in a long while so it can also feel new and can have those catch-ups.
In my head, he's definitely got that vibe of retiring for the simple life. (Maybe sometimes he itches for the action again, though.)

(Maybe sometimes he itches for the action again, though.) How about we go with a connection dating back to the early 70s (right after the end of the Cardie occupation, right before the war)? Judy was in the Starfleet Corps of Engineers in that period, and there was plenty of infrastructure to (re)build on Bajor. So maybe they worked together on some infrastructure project (maybe a bridge or an irrigation scheme), lost touch, and now reconnect? |

Here's our guy, Apazi Fellin. Let me know if something isn't going to work with Judy. I can have Fellin settling aboard the station whenever is convenient for Judy's timeline. |

Timeline-wise, I reckon it'd be good for Fellin to have come on within the last few months, so that she'd be getting around to catching up with him sometime after this month's event, if that sounds good. |
