Varala was an inhabited planet and the homeworld of the Varalan civilization. The planet had a northern and southern continent.
The world had not been visited by the United Federation of Planets as of 2375.
Laas, one of the Hundred Changelings sent out by the Founders, ended up on Varala and assumed humanoid form in the 22nd century. He once assumed the form of a volg and migrated with a herd to the southern continent.
When asked by Kira Nerys to describe Varala, Laas told her it was "just like any other planet that's overrun with humanoids. Cities and farms everywhere – other lifeforms displaced from their habitats". (DS9: "Chimera")
This planet was only mentioned in dialogue.
According to the script, the pronunciation for Varala was "vuh-RAW-luh".
According to the Star Trek Star Charts (p. 74), Varala was located in the Varala star system, in the Gamma Quadrant. This was a binary with a G-class star and a K-class star.
