(TNG novella: The Badlands, Part II) By 2371, the Maquis had started to use the Kamiat Nebula to hide from Starfleet and the Cardassians. In that year, the USS Voyager passed close to the Kamiat Nebula, where Harry Kim ran a scan for Maquis vessels, but detected none. (VOY novella: The Badlands, Part III) In 2373, Gul Dukat and Weyoun met for the first time at a rendezvous inside the Kamiat Nebula to finalise the alliance between the Dominion and the Cardassian Union. The Jem'Hadar starships were detected after the Romulan vessel Bokra entered the nebula while being pursued by the USS Defiant. (DS9 novella: The Badlands, Part IV)
