Nivoch is a small Class M world orbiting a G4V yellow star between the Badlands of the Alpha Quadrant and Cardassian space. The Bajorans that first settled the planet beginning in the 2280s sought to escape the strict caste system of D'jarras. This small group embraced the idea of a class-less society---an idea that even by the late 23rd Century had not quite fully taken hold.

During the Cardassian occupation of Bajor, a battalion of troops was quartered on Nivoch by 2336. It was for the most part a peaceful existence until the Maquis began operating out of the nearby Badlands. Additional troops and supplies turned the planet basically into an armed camp, as Nivoch became one of many bases of operations against the so-called "terrorists". Despite the build-up, the Maquis still mounted a number of successful raids against the Cardassians garrisoning the planet.

The Cardassians abandoned the planet in 2372, taking everything of military value with them. However, as was the case with other areas of the Bajor Sector, they left hundreds of structures behind. The Bajorans converted many of them into extensive hydroponic and airponic nurseries.
