Dozaria is a planet in the Alpha Quadrant that is known for its rich deposits of dilithium.
In 2366, the Breen attacked the Cardassian transport Ravinok and forced it to crash on the planet's surface. The survivors were forced into a life of slavery and made to work in the dilithium mines. Among those forced to work were Kira Nerys' friend Lorit Akrem and Skrain Dukat's illegitimate daughter Tora Ziyal. Ziyal and the other survivors were rescued in 2372 by Kira and Dukat. (DS9 episode: "Indiscretion")
Later that year, Dozaria was one of several places that an Iconian Gateway on Vandros IV that could transport a person to from the Gamma Quadrant. (DS9 episode: "To the Death")
In 2374, Corat Damar told Ziyal her father should have left her "to rot" in the camp on Dozaria. Damar wanted her to reconcile with father to repay him for saving her. (DS9 episode: "Favor the Bold", DS9 episode & novelization: ...Sacrifice of Angels)
By 2376, the Orion Syndicate controlled the mines of Dozaria. The Syndicate was willing to give them to the Iconians (actually the Petraw) in exchange for control of the Gateways. (DS9 - Gateways novel: Demons of Air and Darkness)
