Kai Sulan was the spiritual leader of Bajor in the latter days of the Cardassian Occupation and the early days of Bajor's independence from Cardassian rule. The kai was the religious leader of Bajor, who was elected to a life term by the Vedek Assembly. A Kai had supreme religious power over the Bajorans, surpassed only by that of the Emissary of the Prophets. A Kai also had a great deal of political influence on the Bajoran Provisional Government, and in extreme circumstances, the Kai could serve in political offices such as First Minister of Bajor. The Bajoran religion was centered around the Prophets, the Bajoran name for the aliens residing inside the Bajoran wormhole, which the Bajorans believed was the Celestial Temple. Bajorans thought of these aliens as gods and often prayed to them for guidance. They also believed that everything happened for a reason and that starships were guided by the hands of the Prophets while passing through the Bajoran wormhole. The word of the Prophets guided Bajor for tens of thousands of years, and over the years, ten orbs, or "Tears of the Prophets", had emerged from the wormhole. Their religion was so important - and so vital - to them that, during the horrors of the Cardassian occupation, it was a powerful inspiration that helped them endure and resist.
