The Bon Amar trading group were a Bajoran pirate consortium that continued to function by 2370. They were known to raid trading routes and attack Cardassian vessels or Cardassian allied ships in order to pillage for supplies for the Bajoran people. Due to the Federations attempt at making peace with the Cardassian Union, the Bon Amar were a wanted group by Starfleet and it was considered somewhat of an embarrassment that they were not caught.
