A Cardassian civilian outpost that conceals a weapons research installation, where Dukat and Kira capture a Klingon bird-of-prey in the episode Return to Grace.
After the destruction of the Korma outpost in Return to Grace, Dukat and Kira work out that the Klingon raider's next target will be Loval. Officially a civilian settlement, it houses one of the Cardassian Union's weapons research facilities.
The armed freighter Groumall is waiting when the bird-of-prey arrives. Using the transporters, Kira and Dukat exchange the two crews, taking the Klingon ship for themselves and leaving the Klingons aboard the freighter, which Dukat then destroys.
The captured computer holds detailed intelligence on Klingon forces in Cardassian space. When the civilian government prefers negotiation to counter-attack, Dukat refuses his old post and resolves to fight on alone with the captured ship. Kira declines to join him and takes his daughter Ziyal back to Deep Space 9.
