1)Paris serving with them
2)Edington defecting
3)I think Chikotay had some kind of Starfleet background before going to the Marquis
4)Capt. Sisko's friend from the Acadamy defected, I carn't remember his name though.
5) A poster here at the board ( I think it was Patrick Deagan) speculated that because Jake Sisko wrote a story featuring the Marquis, that the Federations young ( and impressionable) might see joining the Marquis as a way of rebelling etc.
So, the question I put before you is this. Do you think that there is enough discontent in Starfleets ranks that some outside force could create a rebellion or a fracture of the Federation?
Do you think that captured or stolen Cardassian ships and equipment could be used to launch raids on DMZ settlers. Would starfleet crews ,already bitter over the colonists being hung out to dry defect?
Do you think whole ships might defect?, bolstering the firepower of the Marquis (allowing them to take the war to the Cardassians, if only to a small degree. I know a few ships defecting would not significantly alter the odds)
Do you think that the Federation masses would accept there governments usual dismissal of the Marquis as terrorists? Would they start finding out whats happening for themselves?
Just some possible lines of thought there. Granted, this will all be conjecture on are part but I think that this could be quite interesting
