Brekka was a planet located in the galaxy's Alpha or Beta Quadrants, the fourth planet in the Delos star system in Federation space. It was the homeworld of the Brekkians.
During the 22nd century, Brekka and the the neighbouring planet of Ornara was catalogued by the Federation.
At some point in the same century, Ornara was afflicted by a plague that could be cured by felicium, a plant that grew only on Brekka. Sometime before 2364, the Ornarans were cured but due to felicium's addictive effects, they continued to pay Brekka for the drug, boosting Brekka's economy.
In 2364, only three Ornaran freighters were left operational. The passing USS Enterprise-D saved the crew of the last freighter, the Sanction, learning the truth of the plague and the exploitation of the Ornarans. Citing the Prime Directive, Jean-Luc Picard returned the crew to their planets but denied to fix their spacecrafts, knowing the Ornarans would recover in time. (TNG episode: "Symbiosis")
In 2381, Ornara and Brekka were part of Carol Freeman's proposed Project Swing By. After discovering that Ornara had healed itself and had no desire for an ongoing relationship with the Federation, the USS Cerritos visited Brekka and discovered it had been occupied by the Breen. The Cerritos was saved by the USS Aledo. It was later revealed that Admiral Les Buenamigo had known of the occupation and set up the Cerritos to be attacked by the Breen so he could debut the Texas-class.
