The Maquis (mah-KEE) were an organization of Federation-born colonists who organized against the Cardassian occupation of their homes in the Demilitarized Zone after their colonies were ceded to the Cardassian Union by the Treaty of 2370. Starfleet Command considered members of the Maquis to be traitors, while Cardassia considered the Maquis to be a terrorist organization. According to Michael Eddington, the Maquis considered themselves an independent state and were going to formally declare their separation from the Federation, until the Jem'Hadar destroyed many Maquis worlds
