- In 2374, a week after Federation forces retook Deep Space 9, Worf and Jadzia Dax decided to get married on the station. Worf invited his son, Alexander Rozhenko, General Martok, Captain Benjamin Sisko, Dr. Julian Bashir, and Chief Miles O'Brien to travel kal'Hyah. When they entered one of Quark's holosuites, Worf presented the others with the ma'Stakas. When the wedding had been temporarily canceled, Captain Sisko tossed his Ma'Staka to Worf to keep Dr. Bashir and Chief O'Brien away from food at Quark's. At the conclusion of the wedding, after much pain and suffering on the path to kal'Hyah, Bashir and O'Brien were prepared to use the Ma'Stakas as much as they could.
