Major Kira was also given access to the USS Defiant.In late 2371, Kai Winn Adami (who was temporarily First Minister) sent the Militia to recover the soil reclamators that Shakaar Edon had refused to return.The Militia later pursued the former Shakaar members into the hills of Dahkur Province.As per Bajor's non-aggression pact with the Dominion, the Militia worked with the Dominion forces when they occupied the Bajoran system in late 2373 and early 2374. Several members later helped to overthrow the Dominion's control of Deep Space 9.In 2375, Colonel Kira Nerys commanded a Militia impulse ship fleet in a blockade of Derna to stop the Romulans from arming the plasma torpedo launchers they had deployed there.In 2376, Lenaris Holem commanded the Militia's Lamnak fleet during the evacuation of the Europani from Europa Nova.Federation membershipAlthough some members transferred to Starfleet after Bajor joined the United Federation of Planets in 2376, the Militia remained as the planet's defense force.In 2380, Federation President Nanietta Bacco offered to petition the Militia to patrol the Cardassian Union's "trouble spots", although Elim Garak believed the Castellan would not be receptive to the idea.
