One is within an unspecified system tucked away in the corner of the Gamma Quadrant where two Jem'Hadar ships ambush a covert Karemma meeting with the Federation's U.S.S Defiant. Its thick atmosphere, with winds up to 10,000 kph, could dispel cloaks, jam torpedo guidance systems, and force phasers to be manually targeted. Another is a planet in the Badlands with at least one moon where Major Kira and Constable Odo's U.S.S. Mekong is lured by a Changeling Founder posing as a Maquis ship.
