Kira Nerys was actually a Vietnamese orphan who was adopted by a Bajoran man who immigrated to Vietnam due to the Cardassian occupation of Bajor. He later relocated to the USA when the Vietnam War broke out, and Kira grew up there. At one point, she set up a multi-sessionned RPGs event titled "Free Bajor" as a joke, which escalated the actual Bajoran struggle for independence and ended the occupation.
Kira assigned her Terran friend, nicknamed "Dukat", as the pseudo- Cardassian official in charge of the negotiations. As a result of all that, Dukat was offered a position in the Cardassian government, while Kira became a national Bajoran heroine and the legendary profile "The Gamer".
As Melissa Joan Hart (= "MJH"; Clarissa, Sabrina ) was an old colleague of Dukat and he somewhat romanticised their friendship, she became a UFP ambassador:
[ Odo approaches an acrobatics overseer on DS9 ]
Odo: Hi! May I speak to Ambassador Hart, please?
Overseer: to whom?
Odo: [sighs] to Melissa Joan Hart?
Overseer: oh… [he whistles] Mel!
[ MJH arrives sweaty and out of breath. ]
MJH: hello Mr. Odo…
( An actual dialogue. )
Anyway, Dukat also was a popular Rock / Hard Rock / Metal / $loud-music-genre musician who had a series of concerts titled "Gul Dukat Live at Bajor" which were performed there. The front rows were populated by "Bajorans" on one side and "Cardassians" on the other (who were not necessarily citizens, residents, etc. of either planet). Moreover, during the climax of the show, they started throwing Terran tomatoes at one another.
Dukat thinks this has great positive energies, and these shows featured collabs with diverse artists from Metallica and Animal to Adele and Tiffany Alvord. These concerts have been very profitable, despite the fact that he had to comply with some regulations as a Cardassian politician.
