The Kelvas facility was a Cardassian Monac-type repair facility in the Kelvas system. This facility was located inside Cardassian space in a sector of the Alpha Quadrant.
In 2375, Breen engineers were installing energy-dampening weapons aboard Jem'Hadar attack ships at the repair facility. A five-person team from the Cardassian Rebellion was able to infiltrate the station and steal one of the retrofitted attack ships, bringing the weapon back to the Federation for study. (DS9: "Tacking Into the Wind")
The Kelvas repair facility appears on the cover sleeve of the UK VHS release of "When It Rains..." and "Tacking Into the Wind".
Since Luaran was surprised to see the Female Founder in her sector, while she was on Cardassia shortly before, the facility seems to have been in a different sector then Cardassia Prime.
