The Goralis system was a planetary system located inside Cardassian space in the Alpha Quadrant. The system was near the Badlands and was considered to be a long way from Breen space.
In 2375, the runabout USS Gander, carrying Lieutenant Ezri Dax and Lieutenant Commander Worf, attempted to lose two pursuing Jem'Hadar attack ships in this system. The runabout was destroyed in the atmosphere of Goralis III, though Dax and Worf transported to the surface. They were later captured by the Breen. (DS9: "Penumbra")
Goralis was shown on the battle plan for the First Battle of Chin'toka in "Tears of the Prophets".
This system's quadrant of origin is inferred based on the position of the Cardassian Union as seen in the star chart appearing in the Star Trek: Picard episode "Maps and Legends".
Further information on this system could be had from the Star Trek: Star Charts (p. 46) and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library ("Stellar Cartography", pp. 18-19; "Federation Historical Highlights, 2161-2385"). The primary of the Goralis system was classified as a G-class star. The Goralis system was identified as a Cardassian system in a star chart created by an anonymous astrography clerk in 2364 for the Cardassian Central Archives.
