The ancient Bajorans were known to have used solar sail craft for intra-system travel in the distant past, but few believed legends that these vessels had also been used for interstellar journeys. Such voyagers take years even using modern impulse drives; using these vessels mission durations of centuries, even millennia seemed certain. A single small cabin could not possibly support such a multi-generational voyage. Yet legends of ancient Bajorans reaching Cardassia in solar sail craft persisted.
In 2371 Captain Sisko decided to reconstruct one of the Bajoran craft so as to test its capabilities. Initially it seemed that the test only confirmed the conventional wisdom - such craft were capable of very modest speed and range.
However, during its first flight the vessel encountered strong tachyon eddies in space. These accelerated the craft to high warp speed, sending it across lightyears in a remarkably short time. Captain Sisko did indeed succeed in reaching Cardassia, confirming that the early Bajorans could have made these journeys.
By a suspiciously remarkable co-incidence, Sisko's arrival coincided with the discovery of ancient archeological finds by the Cardassians which served to confirm that the Bajorans had indeed reached Cardassia in the distant past. The Cardassians, naturally, were overjoyed at this discovery.
