Torga IV is an uninhabited planet in the Gamma Quadrant. The planet is approximately three weeks from a Dominion base, and possesses rich resources of cormaline.


In 2373, a group of Star Fleet officers from Deep Space 9, led by Captain Benjamin Sisko, visited the planet in a Danube class runabout in order to determine the feasibility of establishing a mining operation on the planet.
Although the cormaline was only a few hundred meters below the planet's surface, the main threat to any possible mining operation was the planet's proximity to Dominion space.


Indeed, the Dominion arrived soon after, when a Jem'Hadar ship carrying a Founder crashed on the planet.
After Sisko and his team occupied it, another Jem'Hadar ship arrived and destroyed the teams' runabout, killing its crew, including Hoya.
A bitter siege ensued that led to the deaths of Enrique Muñiz, T'Lor and the Founder. The crew was later able to remove the ship from Torga IV.
