Cing'ta was a Federation informant who was sent to infiltrate the Maquis and reply back with information about them.
In 2373, he was supposed to meet with Captain Benjamin Sisko on Marva IV with information about Michael Eddington. Prior to the meeting, the Maquis found out that he was an informant, and they marooned him on an inhospitable planet in the Badlands, and Eddington himself took his place. (DS9 episode: "For the Uniform")
- It is unknown if Cing'ta perished on the inhospitable planet or if the Federation rescued him. Cing'ta's race is also unknown, although he may have been Bolian since his name is similar to other Bolian characters such as Boq'ta.
