In 2375, under the command of Colonel Kira Nerys, it was the command ship of the Bajoran blockade of Derna to prevent a hospital located there from being supplied with weapons by several Romulan warbirds. Kira successfully bluffed being willing to actually fight, which eventually convinced Admiral William Ross to force the Romulans to withdraw. (DS9: "Shadows and Symbols") The Star Trek Customizable Card Game gives its name as Kitara and calls it a Perikian class ship. Odo appears to be Kira's first officer. However, no dialogue from the episode confirms this.
