'''Dozaria''' is a [[Class M]] [[planet]] covered by deserts and arid mountains located near the [[Cardassian Union]] and the [[Breen (planet)| Breen Confederacy]] in the [[Alpha Quadrant]]. It was the only inhabitable planet in the Dozaria System.  It is one of the planets that could be visited through the Iconian Gateway on [[Vandros IV]].
Previously designated as the 'Type X+' for security reasons, the '''Type XII [[Phaser technology|phaser]]''' has been used in dedicated planetary defence arrays and as the main armament of heavy fortified starbases since 2363. It was considered that the Type XII was unsuitable for use on a [[starship]] because the power requirements were too high and the support systems too bulky. However, by 2368 technical improvements had allowed for considerable shrinkage in the size of the equipment, and ship power systems had become capable of supporting the weapon. The main phaser armament of the new [[Sovereign class]] starship therefore comprises Type XII phaser arrays as does the armament of the [[Prometheus class]]. These are the most powerful phaser weapons currently in use by the [[Federation]].

In 2366, a [[Cardassian]] prison transport ''Ravinok'' was attacked by [[Breen]] warships and forced down on Dozaria. The Breen then used the survivors as laborers in a nearby [[dilithium]] mining camp on the planet.  Six years later, Major (later Colonel) Kira Nerys and Legate Dukat found the camp and infilatrated it, rescuing Dukat's daughter. (''DS9'': "Indiscretion")
 
The mines were attacked by a squadron of [[Federation]] [[Sabre class]] fast-attack ships just prior to the end of the [[Dominion War]] in 2375, severely damaging operations there. Because Dozaria lay in unclaimed space, the [[Orion Syndicate]] swooped in and took over the mines the following year.  The Breen have made two half-hearted attempts at retaking the planet, but the Syndicate has proven difficult to dislodge.

Previously designated as the 'Type X+' for security reasons, the Type XII phaser has been used in dedicated planetary defence arrays and as the main armament of heavy fortified starbases since 2363. It was considered that the Type XII was unsuitable for use on a starship because the power requirements were too high and the support systems too bulky. However, by 2368 technical improvements had allowed for considerable shrinkage in the size of the equipment, and ship power systems had become capable of supporting the weapon. The main phaser armament of the new Sovereign class starship therefore comprises Type XII phaser arrays as does the armament of the Prometheus class. These are the most powerful phaser weapons currently in use by the Federation.
