During the Dominion War, the subspace relay AR-558 was established on a small planet in this system by the Dominion. At the end of 2374, the system was protected by only five squadrons of Jem'Hadar attack ships because the rest had been diverted to reinforce Dominion forces along the Romulan front. This vulnerability provided an opportunity for Allied forces to launch an invasion of Cardassian space. However, the Cardassians had anticipated their attack and deployed hundreds of orbital weapon platforms in the system. These platforms nearly turned the battle against the Allied forces, until a way was found to neutralize them. Subsequently, the system fell to Allied forces.

- The Chin'toka system was a system located within the Cardassian Union. The system contained at least four planets, with two of them M Class. It was the site of two major battles during the Dominion War. In 2374 the system was invaded by the Federation Alliance due to the small number of vessels left to defend the system. However Orbital weapon platforms had been deployed within the system to bolster its defences. Despite the activation of these weapons the system fell to the Alliance. (DS9: "Tears of the Prophets")

| - The Chin'toka system was a system located within the Cardassian Union. The system contained at least four planets, with two of them M Class. It was the site of two major battles during the Dominion War. In 2374 the system was invaded by the Federation Alliance due to the small number of vessels left to defend the system. However Orbital weapon platforms had been deployed within the system to bolster its defences. Despite the activation of these weapons the system fell to the Alliance. (DS9: "Tears of the Prophets") The Dominion launched several counterattacks against the Alliance forces in the system, effectively bottling them up in the system and turning it into a vast battlefield. In one attack where the Romulans bore the brunt they lost over three dozen warships and 10,000 personnel. (LUG RPG: The Dominion War Sourcebook: The Fires of Armageddon) The Alliance would hold the system for nearly a year before losing their foothold in Cardassian territory. The inclusion of the Breen into the Dominion saw the use of the Breen energy dampening weapon that resulted in 311 Allied ships destroyed during the Second Battle of Chin'toka.

These platforms nearly turned the battle against the Allied forces, until a way was found to neutralize them. Subsequently, the system fell to Allied forces. (see First Battle of Chin'toka) (DS9: "Tears of the Prophets") However, the invasion did not proceed further than Chin'toka as was hoped; the victorious Allies remained bottled up in the system, fending off constant Dominion attacks. (DS9: "Image in the Sand", "The Siege of AR-558") A Dominion counterattack on the system in early 2375 was halted, although the forces of the Romulan Star Empire suffered heavy losses. (DS9: "Shadows and Symbols") The Chin'toka system remained under Allied control for most of 2375, until it was retaken by a combined force of Dominion and Breen warships. An Allied attempt to repel their advance ended disastrously, in which 311 of 312 ships were destroyed with relative ease. This was due to Allied unpreparedness for the Breen energy dampening weapon, which rapidly disabled the fleet, leaving all affected ships completely defenseless (see Second Battle of Chin'toka). The Allies retreated from the system, taking AR-558 with them. (DS9: "The Changing Face of Evil", "When It Rains...")
