Valo II

Valo II was the inhabited second planet in the Valo system. Located in the Alpha Quadrant, this planet was on the outskirts of Cardassian territory. It was an M-class planet, which was settled by Bajoran refugees displaced by the Cardassian annexation of Bajor. The Bajorans lived in desperate poverty on the surface, struggling to meet even their basic needs. Ro Laren spent some of her formative years at the encampment on the southern continent, where she became acquainted with an unofficial local leader named Keeve Falor.

In 2368, the USS Enterprise-D sought out Keeve concerning a possible threat to the Federation made by resistance leader Orta. Captain Jean-Luc Picard elected to provide humanitarian assistance to the camp after witnessing their conditions first-hand. (TNG: "Ensign Ro")

Inhabitants

This planet's quadrant of origin was inferred based on the position of the Cardassian Union in the star chart appearing in the Star Trek: Picard episode "Maps and Legends".
In the script, the pronunciation for Valo was "VAH-lo". [1]
In the Star Trek: Star Charts (p. 47) and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library ("Federation Historical Highlights, 2161-2385"), the Valos system was shown to be near the Federation-Cardassian border and, by the late 24th century, to be an independent system.
