History

Early History

The planet of Cardassia Prime was first colonised by an ancient race known as the First Hebetians. Their burial mounds were uncovered in the late 2160s but these magnificent relics were ransacked after the modern Cardassian society become militant when the planet's natural resources began to run out.

First contact between the Cardassians and Bajor occurred in the 16th century. Using lightships, Bajoran explorers managed to traverse the space between Bajor and Cardassia Prime. In recent times, Cardassia has denied the story.

As Cardassian civilisation developed the society's heavy demands on the planet's natural resources began to strip it bare. The culture turned to war and conquered numerous worlds in the name of survival and national pride.
