The Chin'toka system is a star system located inside Cardassian space, near the Federation border.

HistoryEdit

The system contains at least four planets, two of which -- Chin'toka II and Chin'toka III -- are inhabited. During the Dominion War, the system was the location of two major engagements between the Federation Alliance and the Dominion-Cardassian alliance. (DS9 episodes: "Tears of the Prophets", "The Siege of AR-558", "The Changing Face of Evil")

In late 2374, Starfleet salvaged a Jem'Hadar ship crashed on one of Chin'toka's planets. P8 Blue was a member of the Starfleet Corps of Engineers team to investigate the ship. (SCE eBook: War Stories, Book 2)

Zelik Leybenzon was among the Starfleet personnel assigned as ground forces in the Chin'toka system. (TNG novel: Q&A)

It also states that prior to the first engagement between the Federation Alliance and the Dominion alliance, the system contained many orbital manufacturing facilities and Tokara Nor.
