Minos Korva was a Federation planet, located four light years from the Cardassian border and eleven from the McAllister Nebula. It was part of disputed territory between the Federation and the Cardassians since the Federation-Cardassian War of the mid-24th century. It had a population of two million colonists.

In 2369, Starfleet created contingency plans that placed the USS Enterprise-D, at that time temporarily commanded by Captain Edward Jellico, in the vicinity of Minos Korva for an expected surprise invasion by the Cardassians. The invasion was avoided because the Enterprise detected a Cardassian fleet hiding in the McAllister Nebula. (TNG: "Chain of Command, Part II")

According to a line cut from the episode, Starfleet also sent the USS Berlin, the USS Aries and the USS Sutherland to help defend Minos Korva.

Galen mentioned this incident at Minos Korva when he described William Riker's tendency for insubordination to Arctus Baran in 2370. (TNG: "Gambit, Part I")

According to the Star Trek: Star Charts (pg. 47), Minos Korva was located in the Minos Korva system. This system was located in or near Federation space, in the Alpha Quadrant. Primary was a Class M star with a magnitude of +7, which was 1/10 as bright as Sol. Minos Korva was listed as a member planet of the Federation in 2378.
