Ultima Thule

Ultima Thule was an inhabited planet located somewhere in the Alpha or Beta Quadrant. This planet was the location of a dolamide purification plant. Ultima Thule was the last stop on the route taken by Valerian traders supplying weapons-grade dolamide to the Cardassians during the Occupation of Bajor.

The Valerian transport Sherval Das visited the Ultima Thule station in 2369 a week prior to docking at Deep Space 9, suggesting that they were carrying dolamide. (DS9: "Dramatis Personae")
