A Bolian Starfleet engineer on the salvage mission to Empok Nor, anxious from the outset about Cardassian booby traps, who is killed by a soldier left behind to guard the station.
Boq'ta appears in Empok Nor, played by Andy Milder.
He is one of the engineers chosen by Miles O'Brien in 2373 to recover components from the derelict station. Boq'ta is skilled but far from brave, and his worry about what the Cardassians might have left for intruders is treated as a joke by his colleagues until the runabout is blown up.
After the deaths of Pechetti and Stolzoff, Boq'ta is sent with the security officer Amaro to fetch a part needed to modify the station's deflector grid into a distress signal. While he works, the surviving Cardassian soldier kills him. Garak arrives moments later and kills the soldier, then turns on Amaro as the drug that drove the Cardassians takes hold of him too.
