Maria Huxley was the wife of Starfleet captain Benjamin Maxwell. She lived with their children in the Federation colony at Setlik III. When Cardassian forces invaded the planet, believing a military strike against the Cardassian Union to be imminent, Huxley and her children were among the several casualties and were killed shortly before Maxwell's arrival. Unable to save them, their deaths would continue to haunt Captain Maxwell for years to come. (DS9 novelization: Emissary)
