The Volan colonies were a group of Federation colonies in the Volan system, including those on Volan II and Volan III. They were ceded to the Cardassian Union by treaty in 2370, and became part of the newly-established Demilitarized Zone. They became a center of Maquis activity.
Ropal City was a settlement somewhere in the Volan colonies. In 2370, two Federation colonists were stoned to death by a Cardassian mob.
Lt. Commander Calvin Hudson and his wife, Gretchen, lived in the Volan colonies for some time prior to Gretchen's death in the late 2360s; Cal continued to reside there into the 2370s, even after the establishment of the DMZ, and served as Starfleet liaison to the colonists.
