Following the capture of Kruge's Bird-of-Prey in 2286, the Klingon Ambassador demanded to the Federation Council the extradition of James T. Kirk, who was considered by the Klingon Empire to be a "renegade and terrorist." (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)

Riker's capture and assistance to the mercenary Arctus Baran and later return to the USS Enterprise-D in 2370, Data's interpretation of Starfleet regulations indicated that Riker was "technically [...] declared a renegade," and was additionally "facing twelve counts of court martial offenses."

According to the renegades' fellow Jem'Hadar, Toman'torax, and Virak'kara, these rebels were traitors. (DS9: "To the Death")
