[[File:Ketracel-white facility explodes.jpg|thumb|The facility explodes]]
A '''ketracel-white facility''' was a location where the [[Dominion]] stored and distributed its [[ketracel-white]] supply. [[Jem'Hadar]] [[Dominion starship classes|ships]] approached these facilities and requested to be resupplied with canisters of white. The ship then [[beam]]ed down a number of canisters from its [[cargo hold]] and was given the same number by the facility. Some facilities were equipped with [[security net]]snets.
Three [[month]]s months into the [[Dominion War]], [[Starfleet Intelligence]] discovered the location of a facility in [[Cardassian]] [[space]] near a [[dark-matter nebula]]. [[Admiral]] [[William Ross]] gave [[Captain]] [[Benjamin Sisko]] and his crew the mission to destroy it.
Using a [[Sisko's attack ship|Jem'Hadar ship]] they had captured a year earlier, the former crew of [[Deep Space 9]] equipped one canister with ninety [[isoton]]s of enriched [[ultritium]] which would be detonated with a timer attached to it. The canisters were beamed down and the facility transported full canisters to the ship. However, the security net was raised and the facility told them to stand by. The timer detonated the ultritium soon after, earlier than set, triggering a large explosion. As the ship moved away, a larger explosion destroyed the rest of the facility and the [[asteroid]] it was built on.
The [[Federation]] heard rumors of the establishment of a new facility somewhere in [[Sector 507]] in early [[2375]]. [[Weyoun]] later confirmed the rumors were true, telling [[Odo]] it was in the [[Pelosa system]].
The [[Son'a]] had a ketracel-white facility in an [[outpost]] on [[Devos II]]. The Federation became aware of its presence later in 2375, forcing [[Weyoun]] and [[{{MA|Damar]] |Damar}} to divert [[Jem'Hadar attack ship|warships]] from pursuit of the {{USS|Defiant|NX-74205}} to the facility to protect it.
