Vortex

Croden, a fugitive from the planet Rakhar in the Gamma Quadrant, claims to have information about Odo's species. He is lying–all he knows are legends. He is on the run from his planet's oppressive government, which executed his whole family, except his daughter, Yareth, who Crodan is hiding in stasis on an asteroid. Out of sympathy, Odo helps Crodan to escape, rather than turn him over to the authorities.
