Located in the Alpha Quadrant, the Loval system was an inhabited planetary system in Cardassian space. The planet Rakal and the Amleth system were located in the same sector as this system.

A planet in this system, Loval, was the site of a secret weapons research installation targeted by the Klingons during the Klingon-Cardassian War. (DS9: "Return to Grace")

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".
"low-VAL" was the pronunciation for this system's name from the script pronunciation guide. [1]
