Numida was a rogue planetary governor and a pirate admiral. He led a major provocation operation against the Federation, the Klingon Empire and the Romulan Star Empire, leading to piracy and a mass abduction, using the MRC Radioh in the process. Due to mere happenchance, Operation Telenoes was launched against his forces and he was defeated, with the loss of all ships. (RIS Bouteina: "Distress Call")
