HistoryEdit

Rugal Pa'Dar and his adoptive Bajoran parents, Proka Migdal and Proka Etra, were living in Ashalla in 2370, just before Rugal was returned to Cardassia Prime. (DS9 novel: The Never-Ending Sacrifice)

The Shikina Monastery at Ashalla was key site of historic significance in the Bajoran religion. During the Cardassian occupation, a secret chamber under the monastery was the home of the Orb of Prophecy and Change, the only Orb the Bajorans prevented the Cardassians from taking.

By 2376, all the orbs had been recovered and were being stored in the same chamber in Ashalla. That year, the chamber was discovered to be the chosen spawning ground of a parasite spawnmother, and was where the parasites kept several hostages, including Kasidy Yates. The spawnmother was removed by an Orb experience initiated by Kira Nerys, and thrown out of normal space-time. Also while there, Yates gave birth to her daughter, Rebecca Jae Sisko.

In late September of the same year, a site just outside of Ashalla was chosen for the signing ceremony for Bajor's admittance into the United Federation of Planets. (DS9 novel: Unity)
