According to a deleted dialogue of Korinas in scene 38 of the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine third season episode "Defiant", the Dameron system was a star system in the Cardassian Union where a weapons depot was located. In 2371, the USS Defiant attacked the depot after it was stolen by Maquis operatives. It was one of several attacks designed by Thomas Riker to draw Cardassian forces away from the Orias system.
