Cardassia Prime

Cardassia Prime is the homeworld of the Cardassians and is located at the center of their sect of space in the Trek Galaxy. The Cardassians patrol their planet with ruthless efficiency, despite having no real enemies. The Cardassian leadership, ever suspicious, still believe that the Federation wish to take advantage of the peace between to the two races to take the Cardassians off-guard and destroy them, and so they never allow their planet to fall behind in security measures. Some believe this is what limits the Cardassian's rate of expansion.
