Ro's apparent ability to fool the Federation sensor buoys and penetrate the Enterprise-D shields were enough to impress Kalita and convince her that Ro was genuinely willing to help their cause. After Ro defected to the Maquis near the Hurgora nebula, she abandoned her ship and transported to Kalita's vessel. () 

In 2371, Kalita worked with Thomas Riker on a plan to steal the  from the station Deep Space 9. Together with Tamal she was beamed aboard the ship by Riker after he stunned Major Kira Nerys. She manned the helm during the Defiant strikes on Cardassian outposts and planets.
