Hakton VII was the inhabited seventh planet in its star system. This system was located in the Alpha Quadrant and, between 2370 and 2373, was inside the Demilitarized Zone. This planet was home to a Federation colony.
In 2370, three settlers were killed on Hakton VII by Cardassians, who claimed it was in response to the Maquis bombing of the Cardassian freighter Bok'Nor. (DS9: "The Maquis, Part II")
