In early 2369, the USS Yosemite was damaged here while investigating a plasma streamer. At about the same time, two Ferengi freighters were apparently destroyed in the sector by a Cardassian warship.

If the Yosemite was attacked by the Cardassians, the admiral believed it would indicate a large-scale movement into the sector by the Cardassians. (TNG: "Realm of Fear" )
