The Kitara was a 24th century Third Republic of Bajor starship, a Perikian-class[1] interceptor[2], transport and assault vessel[3] in Bajoran Militia service in the 2370s decade. (CCG set: Energize, card: "Kitara")
Service history and disposition[]
The Bajoran first constructed ships of this class in the 24th century. (TOSC Issue 83: "Bajoran assault vessel")
Their production base was the Bajoran Militia Secured Facility #5. (DS9 reference: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Technical Manual)
The Kitara was active by the 2370s, during the Dominion War. The Bajorans were officially neutral but supported the Federation Alliance. In the year 2375, Colonel Kira Nerys assumed command of the Kitara.
On stardate 52152.6, the Kirata was the flagship[1] of the Bajoran Militia fleet erecting a blockade around Bajor's moon Derna in order to prevent the Romulan Star Empire from equipping their hospital on the planet with plasma torpedoes delivered by a fleet of D'deridex-class warbirds. Colonel Kira was held her ground against the Romulans. Starfleet Vice Admiral William Ross resolved the dispute between the Bajorans and Senator Kimara Cretak by threatening Starfleet intervention on the Bajorans' behalf. Cretak agreed to stop the delivery of arms to Derna, resolving the Blockade of Derna crisis. (DS9 episode: "Shadows and Symbols")
