Ro's DS9 role would have changed Trek history.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT If Michelle Forbes' Ro Laren had joined the cast of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, then the course of franchise history and her role in Star Trek: Picard season 3 would have been radically different. When DS9 was being developed as the first spinoff from the hugely popular Star Trek: The Next Generation, it was thought that Ensign Ro Laren could receive a promotion to full-time regular on the show.
TNG's Ro Laren Would Represent Picard Not Bajor In Star Trek: DS9 The Star Trek: Deep Space Nine "bible" stated that Sisko would clash with Ro in the pilot because of her less than impressive Starfleet record. This was likely because of the disastrous away mission to Garon II, which left eight crew members dead, and saw Ro sentenced to time in prison. Captain Jean-Luc Picard took Ro under his wing because he saw her potential as a great Starfleet officer.
Sisko has to prove himself to Kira and the Bajorans, rather than the other way around which was what Ro's role in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine bible first suggested. While Ro would become one of Star Trek's biggest traitors by betraying Picard for the Maquis, at the stage that DS9 began, she didn't have Kira's experience of fighting in the resistance movement.
While Ensign Ro was also a recurring, rather than regular character in Star Trek: The Next Generation, it felt like she had a more developed character. Between the episode "Ensign Ro" and "Rascals" - her last TNG appearance before she would have transferred to Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - she is defined by her Bajoran heritage and relationship with Picard.
