Later that year, the USS Defiant (2370) was assigned to protect a Federation troop convoy. The convoy had used the Badlands to hide their movements, and required the Defiant to protect them once they emerged. 

The Defiant remained on convoy duty and later successfully accompanied the freighter convoy PQ-1 to the Vegan system in 2374. Kasidy Yates served as convoy liaison officer. On the way home, they picked up Captain Lisa Cusak's distress signal. 

Following the First Battle of Chin'toka, the Defiant was assigned to protect more convoys, some containing self-sealing stem bolts. In regards to their mission, Bashir felt that "there should be a law against convoy duty lasting more than ten days." Nog, however, enjoyed convoy duty because "it [was] usually much safer than being on the front lines."
