We had seen Garak already, depending on how you would classify him.

[–] thejoker954@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'd classify Garak as Military. While he isn't a soldier per se him being a Spook (Especially a Cardie Spook) means he was directly involved in tactical ops.

Marritza by contrast was doing a decidedly civilian job (file clerk) and most likely only ever participated in combat during training.

I love the idea of Garak reading that and being disgusted at being called part of the military. The obsidian order looks down on the military as Guileless Brutes.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Had their own fleet too. Garak would probably like it more if you called him a simple tailor with a wink than a soldier.

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

I'd call him whatever he wanted to be called, and often. 😏

[–] bgainor@thelemmy.club 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I don't know what you're talking about. He's just a simple tailor.

A simple tailor whose shop occasionally suffers from explosions
