Cardassian Union

The Cardassian Union is a major interstellar power in the Star Trek universe, primarily featured in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. It is governed by a central civilian authority known as the Detapa Council, but real power often resides with the Cardassian Central Command (military) and the Obsidian Order (intelligence agency). The Union is known for its authoritarian regime, emphasis on military strength, and use of surveillance and propaganda.

The Cardassian Union's homeworld is Cardassia Prime, and its government prioritizes state control, loyalty, and expansionism. It has a long history of conflict with its neighbors, including the Bajoran people, whom they occupied for nearly 50 years. They also clashed with the Federation and the Klingon Empire at various times.

In the 2370s, the Cardassians joined the Dominion, becoming a client state during the Dominion War. After a major uprising on Cardassia Prime and the defection of the Obsidian Order, the Dominion turned on its Cardassian allies. Following the Dominion’s defeat in 2375, the Cardassian Union was left politically and economically devastated.
