Lenaris Holem

Colonel Lenaris Holem was a Bajoran civil police officer serving during the late-24th century.

During the Cardassian Occupation of Bajor, he was a member of the Ornathia resistance cell where he once led a raid on Pullock V, a Cardassian planet. It was the first off-world raid against the Cardassian Union. During the Occupation, his brother was freed from the Gallitep labor camp by Kira Nerys and the Shakaar resistance cell.

After the Occupation ended in 2369, he joined the Bajoran Militia and by 2371, he had risen to the rank of colonel in the Bajoran civil police. Later that year, he led the several troops in Dahkur Province on a mission find Shakaar Edon and the rest of his resistance cell, which had defied Winn Adami by not returning several government-owned soil reclamators. Lenaris later agreed with Shakaar that fighting Bajoran on Bajor could lead to a violent civil war and so stood down his forces. He later consulted with his fellow officers, who agreed to support Shakaar in the election for First Minister.
