Nivalla was a Federation border colony in the Beta Quadrant.
During the first Federation-Klingon War, on or around stardate 4851.5, the Klingons launched an attack at the research outpost located in this colony. The children who were spared found themselves as orphans. (DIS: "The War Without, The War Within")
In 2259, the location of this colony was labeled on a stellar cartography chart that was seen on the USS Enterprise's ready room viewscreen. This colony's symbol had a blue color, indicating that it was affiliated with the United Federation of Planets. (SNW: "Strange New Worlds", "Children of the Comet", "Spock Amok")
The colony's location was labeled in a Federation star chart that was in Fleet Admiral Kirsten Clancy's office at Starfleet Headquarters in 2399 and on the bridge of the USS Titan-A in 2401. Nivalla was in or near to Klingon space. (PIC: "Maps and Legends", "The Next Generation", "Disengage")
