The Soukara system was a planetary system in Dominion -held space in the Alpha Quadrant. It was a single star system with a single primary and the planet Soukara, which was home to a Dominion base. In the 2370s, the system was protected by a sensor grid.
In 2374, the Danube-class runabout Shenandoah was sent to the system to pick up Lasaran, a Cardassian informant working for the Federation. Worf and Jadzia Dax were able to avoid the system's sensor grid by flying through an asteroid field, which featured three gaps in the field. (DS9: "Change of Heart")

According to a map of the Cardassian Union – prepared by an anonymous astrography clerk, from the Cardassian Central Archives, in 2364 – Soukara was identified as a Cardassian system.
