| The Badlands |
| The Badlands is an area near the Federation/Cardassian demilliterized zone (DMZ). This region of space contains several, unstable, highly charged plasma fields, which make navigation hazordous. |
| The Badlands is believed to be the Maquis' main place of operation. Several ships have gone to investigate this matter but the plasma discharges have prevented the Federation to shine any light on this rumor. |
