The Glintara sector is an area of space which lies in both the Cardassian Union and the Romulan Star Empire. The Glintara system, for which the sector was named, was a covert base of operations for the Cardassian 4th Order since the 2350s. Trepar kept this hidden from the Detapa Council. In Grathon Tolar's forged recording he made for Benjamin Sisko, the Dominion was to have used the sector as a staging point for the invasion of Romulus. (DS9 episode: "In the Pale Moonlight")
