D'Jarra

The D'jarras were a caste system, once used by the Bajorans to create a stratified social hierarchy. Everyone was born into a specific caste of D'jarras based on their family, which determined their occupation.
Before the Cardassian Occupation the caste system was kept to very strongly but it was barley used after the occupation.
