Eris (Vorta)

Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek content.

For other uses of the name, see Eris.

Eris was a Vorta female in service of the Dominion.

She was the first Vorta that Taran'atar served under, at one point in the mid-2350s. He greatly hated Eris, but always obeyed her for the order of things. (DS9 novel: "Warpath")

In late 2370, she took part in a Dominion plan to place a spy on Deep Space 9. She was encountered by Benjamin Sisko and Quark and pretended to be fleeing the Jem'Hadar.

After the group was rescued, she was brought to DS9. Quark discovered that a restraint on her neck could have been removed by her psionic powers. Her lie exposed, Eris fled the station, telling the crew "You have no idea what's begun here". (DS9 episode: "The Jem'Hadar")

Eris worked with Borath monitoring the reactions of Benjamin Sisko, Jadzia Dax, Julian Bashir, Miles O'Brien and T'Rul when they were placed in a mental simulation in early 2371. In it, Borath told Sisko that Eris was one of the Founders. When the simulation ended, Eris told Sisko that none of what he had experienced was real. (DS9 episode & novelization: "The Search")

Taran'atar saw a hallucination of Eris in early 2377, where she chided him over attacking Captain Kira Nerys, who he had sworn to obey. (DS9 novel: "Warpath")

Eris is also the name of Sector 001's furthest-lying dwarf planet, formerly called Cassius, Xena and then 2003 UB313.
