Cardassian Militia

The Cardassian Militia conducted a sabotage attack on the Federation colony at Setlik Three, killing civilians including Benjamin Maxwell's family. Chief Miles O’Brien names them as the perpetrators during a tense meeting aboard the Enterprise, where their actions spark Maxwell's vendetta against Cardassian targets and exacerbate Federation-Cardassian hostilities. Gul Macet and the Enterprise crew reference this incident as the root of ongoing border tensions, marking the militia as a provocative military force.
