The Cuellar system is located along the Federation/Cardassian border, near several Federation sectors. In 2365, the Cardassian Union established a small scientific colony on Cuellar II, along with Cuellar Nor, a large science station in orbit, ostensibly to study ancient ruins on the planet's surface. Cuellar II shows signs of terraforming by an as yet unknown species, which left few signs of its presence.
In truth, Cuellar Nor was established as a military supply depot and launching point into Federation space, in the event of renewed hostilities between the Union and the Federation. Cardassian supply ships, running with high-energy sub-space fields to shield them from sensor scans, made regular visits to Cuellar Nor carrying weapons and other military supplies.
In 2367, the Federation starship USS Phoenix attacked and destroyed Cuellar Nor without warning. Tensions soared along the border as both sides prepared for war, but the Federation starship Enterprise, with the aid of Cardassian Gul Mocet, were able to defuse the situation and return the Phoenix to Federation space.
The Cardassian Central Command rebuilt Cuellar Nor and continued to use the station as a secret military depot, despite warnings from the Detapa Council and those concerned about possible Federation reprisals. The attention given to the Bajor Sector allowed Cuellar Nor to operate without any further interference from the Federation. The station served as a valuable site in the Dominion War, reinforced by Jem'Hadar troops and ships. It survived several attacks from Federation and Klingon forces.
Presently, Cuellar Nor is still operating, but at significantly reduced capacity. Its systems are in an almost constant state of repair, and it is severely understaffed. There is talk of making the station into a diplomatic as well as a military facility, should relations with the Federation improve.
