Tars Lamora was a formerly inhabited planetoid in the Carina Nebula, located in the Delta Quadrant. In the late 24th century, it was the site of the Tars Lamora Labor Camp ruled by the Diviner, where slaves were brought to mine chimerium.
The surface of Tars Lamora, called the outer rim, was covered by jagged pinnacles of rock and lacked a breathable atmosphere. It was prone to violent gaseous eruptions. The prison colony extended from the surface down through massive subterranean caverns to the planet's deep core, which was illuminated by large veins of chimerium. The uppermost section of the colony was actually a large detachable starship called the Rev-12. (PRO: "Lost and Found", "Starstruck", "Asylum")
The entire planetoid could be rendered invisible by means of a chimerium cloak. (PRO: "Starstruck")
Deep in the planetoid's core, an area known as the Northwest Crevasse held a massive hidden chimerium chamber. Within it, prisoners Dal R'El and Rok-Tahk were mining when a partial cave-in revealed a long-abandoned Federation starship, the USS Protostar, which they used to escape. (PRO: "Lost and Found")
In order to get his hands on the Protostar, the Diviner threatened the Unwanted in order to force the crew to return to Tars Lamora. However, the crew pulled off a daring rescue for the Unwanted, destroying Drednok, stranding the Diviner on the planetoid, and allowing the former slaves to escape on the Rev-12. (PRO: "A Moral Star, Part 1", "A Moral Star, Part 2")
Tracking the Protostar's proto-warp signature, the USS Dauntless later found Tars Lamora and rescued the Diviner. (PRO: "Asylum")
Due to an accidental alteration to time, the Protostar was never sent through the wormhole to Tars Lamora, changing history. With the help of Chakotay, Maj'el, Wesley Crusher, and the USS Voyager-A, the former prisoners who had used the Protostar to escape sent the ship back in time to Tars Lamora, fixing the temporal paradox that had been created. (PRO: "Who Saves the Saviors", "Ouroboros, Part I", "Ouroboros, Part II")
StarTrek.com spells this planetoid's name as "Tars Lemora." [1](X)
According to Aaron Waltke, Tars Lamora is located near the Beta Quadrant-Delta Quadrant border. [2]
