[edit] Career
Cenn had only left the surface of Bajor three times in his life, and even then it was always as part of his service to the Militia. One of these times was in the establishment of New Bajor. (DS9 novel: Bajor: Fragments and Omens)
During his time serving under Lenaris Holem, Cenn participated in operations to expose organisations such as the Cult of the Pah-wraiths and the Circle. (DS9 novel: Fearful Symmetry)
When Bajor joined the Federation and much of the Bajoran military became part of Starfleet, Cenn had serious concerns about the future of both his planet and the militia he served. In late 2376, after Cenn revealed his feelings about the militia's absorption into Starfleet to Lieutenant Ro Laren of space station Deep Space 9, Ro recommended him for the position of Bajoran liaison officer onboard the station. The recommendation had the full support of Bajoran Starfleet Captain Kira Nerys and Bajoran Militia General Lenaris Holem. (DS9 novel: Bajor: Fragments and Omens)
In his new postion, Cenn acted as the eyes and ears of Bajor on the station, and saw to it that Bajoran needs and concerns were properly addressed by the Starfleet personnel.
In early 2377, Cenn lead the investigation into the attack on Captain Kira Nerys by the Jem'Hadar observer Taran'atar. (DS9 novel: Warpath)
Following the arrest of several of Iliana Ghemor's mercenaries, Cenn questioned Shing-kur, Fellen Ni-Yaleii, Telal and Mazagalanthi. With help from Quark he discovered they had been held at Letau with Ghemor. Cenn was able to divide Shing-kur from Ni-Yaleii, Telal and Mazagalanthi after he revealed to them Ghemor's true identity. Cenn was unable to stop Shing-Kur from killing the others through implants in thei bodies. (DS9 novel: Fearful Symmetry)
[edit] Personal life
Cenn found it difficult to live and work on Deep Space 9, due its history as the centre of control over Bajor by the Cardassians. (DS9 novels: Bajor: Fragments and Omens, Fearful Symmetry)
Cenn visited Quark's for the first time in January 2377 and ordered foraiga from Treir. (DS9 novel: Fearful Symmetry)
