Cardassian Union

The Cardassians use any means necessary to ensure the absolute loyalty of their subjects. A national indoctrination, mixed with effective control methods, promotes an unconditional belief in the Cardassian systems and work ethics, which results in exceptional industrial and mining capacity. These state-promoted plants clearly work far more effectively than their food and energy installations however, and their research advances at a slow rate. Their intelligence services, the Obsidian Order, are also very efficient, and are considered to be as dangerous as their military, both in the acts of espionage and sabotage. Cardassian ships continue the principle of community-controlled actions in space. Individually not very efficient, they are developed to attack in tight formations.

"The Cardassians are a humanoid species from the Alpha Quadrant. They are native to the planet Cardassia Prime, capital world of the Cardassian Union, and are ruled by an oppressive military dictatorship. However, in its ancient history, before Cardassia was ruled by the military, the Cardassian people were known as the Hebitians, a society known for their fine art and beautiful architecture. But the Hebitian civilization was wasteful, and fell into decay from a chronic lack of natural resources; millions of Hebitians starved to death. The planet was subjected to decades of utter anarchy, eventually resulting in the extinction of Hebitian society.

In a last attempt at survival, the few remaining Hebitians turned to the military to solve their problems, who quickly developed efficient new spacefaring technologies to allow resources to be acquired from distant planets and systems. Renaming themselves the Cardassian Union, the Cardassians quickly came to be a military power in their own right, brutally, but efficiently, subjugating entire systems in their unquenchable thirst for natural resources.

To this day, the Cardassians are ruled by an oppressive military government where efficiency and absolute loyalty are the only things that matter."
