Korma was an inhabited planet in the Alpha Quadrant. This planet, lying within the territory of the Cardassian Union, was the home for a Cardassian outpost.

In 2372, a conference between the Cardassians and the Bajorans was held there to share intelligence on the Klingons. During the conference, the outpost was attacked and every building on the planet destroyed by Klingon forces, with no survivors. The outpost had been defended by several system-5 disruptors, which were disabled in the attack. One of those disruptors was salvaged by the freighter Groumall and used successfully against one of the Klingon ships responsible. (DS9: "Return to Grace")

Background information[]

This planet'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 Star Trek: Star Charts (p. 46) and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library ("Stellar Cartography", pp. 18-19; "Federation Historical Highlights, 2161-2385"), Korma was located in the Korma system. This was a binary system with a F-class star and a B-class star. According to a map of the Cardassian Union – prepared by an anonymous astrography clerk, from the Cardassian Central Archives, in 2364 – Korma was identified as a Cardassian system.

"KORE-mah" was the pronunciation for this planet's name from the script pronunciation guide. [1]

According to StarTrek.com, Korma might have been named for its primary. [2](X)
