During their travels they visited many planets and took what materials they needed to improve their existence. They were also known to subjugate weaker species and make them their slaves, as in the case of the Tarlac and the Ellora in 2325. Due to several sanctions imposed against them by the Federation Council, the slave races had allegedly been freed. Despite following the wishes of several other spacefaring civilizations, the Son'a have also been known to act in defiance of treaties and agreements. The most essential treaty they have acted in defiance of is the Second Khitomer Accords which deal with the use of subspace weapons, and all Son'a battle ships are equipped with such weaponry. In 2328, the Son'a were used by the Cardassians to provide weapons that would soon be used to annex Bajor. (ST - Terok Nor novel: Day of the Vipers) Following the start of the Dominion War in 2373, the Son'a sided with the Dominion and started producing ketracel-white for the Jem'Hadar at several facilities, including Devos II. (DS9 episode: "Penumbra") Federation first contact with the Son'a was made in 2374. (Last Unicorn RPG module: All Our Yesterdays: The Time Travel Sourcebook) In 2375, the Son'a made an agreement with the Federation Council to set-up a duckblind mission to observe the Ba'ku. Ahdar Ru'afo and Admiral Matthew Dougherty made an agreement to remove the 600 Ba'ku to another planet so that they could access the life-prolonging power of the metaphasic rings. However, the plan was soon exposed by Lieutenant Commander Data who discover a cloaked holoship on the surface. When the USS Enterprise arrived to investigate, Captain Jean-Luc Picard also learned of the plan and successfully prevented it from being successful. (TNG movie: Star Trek: Insurrection) Following the defeat of this plan, a number of Son'a were allowed to settle on the Ba'ku planet in a separate colony. Some of these Son'a, under the leadership of Urano, rebelled once again with Romulan assistance in a bid to seize control of the entire planet. The plan was put to a halt by Picard, Data and Ensign Sovok. (TNG video game: Hidden Evil) Rogue members of the Son'a would continue to attempt to forcibly take over the homeworld of the Ba'ku but these would be repelled by Starfleet, who made sure to keep the world under their protection. On one occasion, the defense of the planet was commanded by Commander Worf. (ST video game: Armada)

(Star Trek: Insurrection) In 2375, a group of Son'a attempted to strip Ba'ku of the metaphasic radiation to further prolong their lives as well as deny it to the Ba'ku by forcibly relocating them. This would grant them the radiation they need to continue to prolong their lives as well as give them revenge on the Ba'ku for the events that led to the Son'a leaving their world. Due to the planet's location within Federation space they struck a deal with the Federation, concealing their true past and connection to the Ba'ku. The plan was stopped by the crew of the USS Enterprise-E after their past and true intentions became known. (Star Trek: Insurrection)
