[edit] Star Trek: Armada II

In Star Trek: Armada II, the Cardassians are the primary antagonists in the Klingon campaign and do not have a single-player campaign of their own.

The Cardassian Union is a powerful alliance of worlds with the home world of Cardassia at its heart. Cardassia's lack of metal and other natural resources fuelled the Union's burning desire to expand through military conquest. After many years of hostilities towards the Federation, the ruling body of the Cardassian government – the Detapa Council – begrudgingly signed the Federation-Cardassian treaty of 2370. Soon afterwards, an invasion by the Klingon Empire – who suspected that the Detapa Council had been compromised by agents of the Dominion – left the Cardassian government angered and humiliated. Rumors have made their way to the busy trade routes of the Alpha Quadrant that Cardassian military scientists have been called back to Cardassia.

The Cardassians were once a peaceful spiritual people but their culture was shattered when they exhausted the last of their natural resources. In the years that followed the Cardassian government was seized by the military and great advances in clean energy and space technology were made in a very short time. The Cardassian Union is to this day ruled by a militaristic imperial principle.
