The Brunali homeworld was the home planet of the Brunali. Located in the Delta Quadrant, this inhabited planet was situated less than a light year from a Borg transwarp conduit.

Brunali homeworld, Borg attacks

Regions attacked by the Borg in 2367, 2370, and 2375

The planet's proximity to the Borg conduit resulted in frequent attacks whenever the Borg detected technological development. The planet had been attacked by the Borg three times in just one decade: in 2367, in 2370, and in 2375. Despite the frequent attacks, which made rebuilding their advanced civilization impossible, the Brunali refused to resettle elsewhere.

In 2376, the USS Voyager visited the planet to return the rescued Borg drone Icheb to his home. Icheb's parents, Leucon and Yifay, lived in an agrarian settlement in a crater beneath the ruins of a city. After briefly returning Icheb, Voyager discovered that Icheb had been genetically altered for use as a weapon against the Borg, and that his parents intended to return him to that fate. (VOY: "Child's Play")

In 3189, the location of the Brunali homeworld was indicated on a holographic star chart of the Milky Way Galaxy at Federation Headquarters. (DIS: "Die Trying")

According to the Star Trek: Star Charts (p. 93), the Brunali homeworld was located in the Brunal system. The primary was a M-class star. Voyager visited this system on stardate 53720.
The pattern of destruction left behind by the Borg, i.e., the crater, is consistent with what the crew of the USS Enterprise-D saw on Jouret IV after New Providence colony was destroyed by the Borg in 2366. (TNG: "The Best of Both Worlds")
The Star Trek Encyclopedia (4th ed., vol. 1, p. 108) classified the Brunali homeworld as a class M planet.
