The Kepla sector was a region of space in the Alpha Quadrant. Located in Federation space, this sector was near the Cardassian border.
In 2373, Dominion forces swept through this sector on the first day of the Dominion War, trapping the USS Valiant behind enemy lines. (DS9: "Valiant")
This sector was only mentioned in dialogue.
This sector'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"..
According to Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library ("Federation Historical Highlights, 2161-2385"), this sector shared a name with the Kepla system. This was a binary system with a pair of K-class stars.
