Cardassians

The Cardassians are a proud race from Cardassia Prime that united in an uneasy alliance with the Federation. After fighting a twenty-year war with their Human neighbours, the Cardassians eventually agreed to a peace treaty and the war ceased. However, there were always hostilities between the two sides even after the war had finished.

The Cardassians have reasonably sophisticated weaponry and ships, but they are nothing compared to the fleets of the Federation. The entire Cardassian Armada amassed on the Federation-Cardassian border during the last battle of the war and they were annihilated by just one wing of the Federation Fleet.

Most Cardassians are opposed to war, unlike the Romulans who seem to all want war with everyone. The Cardassian leadership, however, were untrusting of the Federation for years after the war had finished.
