Soukara was a planet in the Soukara planetary system. This system was in Cardassian space, and was the site of a Dominion base. The planet has at least two moons and a nearby asteroid field, which was used to penetrate the Dominion sensor grid undetected. The base itself was located in the middle of a jungle, and is protected by transport inhibitors.

In 2374, Worf and Jadzia Dax were sent on a covert mission to Soukara to recover a Cardassian defector, Lasaran, who claimed to know the location and false identity of every Founder in the Alpha Quadrant. Unfortunately, Dax was severely injured by a Jem'Hadar patrol, and Worf chose to abort the mission to seek medical care for her. (DS9: "Change of Heart")

Later that year, Romulan Senator Vreenak met with Weyoun on Soukara. On the way back he took a secret detour to Deep Space 9 at Captain Benjamin Sisko's request. (DS9: "In the Pale Moonlight")
