The arrogant Alpha Quadrant-born Jem'Hadar commander who captures the Defiant and clashes with his own second in command.
Kudak'Etan is the First of a Jem'Hadar unit that captures the Defiant in One Little Ship. He is one of the new Jem'Hadar bred in the Alpha Quadrant and believes his generation is superior to those born in the Gamma Quadrant, which leads him to dismiss the advice of his more experienced second, Ixtana'Rax.
He orders Sisko to repair the warp drive, and Sisko exploits the rivalry between the two soldiers. With help from the miniaturized crew of the runabout Rubicon, the Defiant's crew retakes the ship.
