maquis

There is some episode of DS9 where the legitimacy of the maquis is bring upon.

There is the Maquis which are basically insurrectionists/terrorists and Starfleet also has Section 31 for doing wet work.

The Maquis were renegade Federation not anti-Federation though, that seems hard to avoid, you can't please everyone.

A good part of the repression of the maquis in central France was carried out by Ukrainians.

His job was to infiltrate and destroy Maquis French and their supporters (the resistance).

And even shows like DS9, the Maquis angle hints at some moral dilema regarding the occupied colonies, show that obedience, following orders and some higher moral principle trump whatever pro-Maquis Starfleet personl might think.

Only that the Star Trek Maquis is later also faught by the Federation.

He may have been captured by the Maquis du Limousin the day before.

He also instructed members of the French Maquis in the use of explosives.

He left the family farm at 17 to join the maquis (French wilderness) where he lived for 2 years, trying to hamper the German forces (eg.

The Maquis were upset with Federation politics and essentially seceded.

But I have to resist Yeah, you're joining the Maquis over the jackbooted thuggery of some random person getting fired from Netflix.

See [0] " Before the Liberation day, we were 2,500 in the maquis.

I would love to see a Star Trek doing more with the Maquis, just seems like such an interesting change from the regular "people on a ship" The Lower Decks is really enjoyable too, funny to see the bureaucratic elements of Star Fleet joked about.

Second, I think you actually miss the point of these episodes; the challenge in the Cardassian border wars and issues was "how does a space utopia exist with a (comically) fascist regime?" Debatably, the actions of the Maquis and other border colonies were persons stuck in a land ownership mindset which is exactly what I think we need to avoid.

Not just the Maquis, where utopia is breaking down, but the constant presence of menacing rival powers and internal hierarchy.

They made the Federation much darker when they introduced Ro Laren and the Maquis.

I suppose it would have broken the timeline to have him jump ship and join the Maquis.
