Crewman Boq'ta was stationed aboard Deep Space 9. Pechetti convinced him to volunteer for a salvage operation on Empok Nor in 2373 without informing him that the station would be booby-trapped.
Soft-spoken and attentive, he was able to identify a biogenic compound while Garak was not immediately able to . From a defunct Cardassian stasis tube, he collected a military regimental badge for Pechetti, saying that it'd "make [his] day".
O'Brien teamed him up with Amaro, a security officer to watch his back, while assigning him to repair a device. He was subsequently killed by a Cardassian soldier who was under the influence of a psychotropic drug. His last words were: "Gimme the coil spanner, would you?"
Post-mortem, his and Pechetti's bodies were hung alongside a corridor by a deluded Garak as part of O'Brien's "loyal team to cheer [him] on" in the final confrontation between Garak and O'Brien. (DS9: "Empok Nor")
