	Cardassian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cardassians, a spacefaring race in the fictional Star Trek universe, and the Cardassian Union were introduced in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Wounded".
		The Cardassian homeworld is Cardassia Prime in the Alpha Quadrant.
		Cardassians seen on Deep Space Nine are generally proud and patriotic, and reference is occasionally made to their xenophobic tendencies, although they are often seen co-operating with other races with no apparent friction.

	Cardassian - Non-canon Star Trek Wiki
		Cardassians are a reptilian species but also have many features common to mammals, there skin is only scaled around there ridges, females have breast like protrusions on their chests.
		Cardassian necks have less of a circular shape (as on most humanoids); instead, they have a roughly oval cross-section created by a series of bones that flare out from the neck towards the shoulders.
		Cardassian families share in the disgrace of one of their members; therefore much pressure is put on the individuals to uphold the family name.

	[DS9] Jammer's Review: Second Season Episode Guide (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Big issues aside, this episode packs quite an emotional wallop, as the young boy, his Bajoran father (Terrence Evans), and even the Cardassian father (Robert Mandan)--who suddenly learns his son is still alive--become the victims in a game of political intrigue set in motion by none other than the self-serving Gul Dukat.
		In an episode with a split personality that's probably even worse than "The Alternate's," Dax is assigned a Trill "initiate," Arjin (Geoffrey Blake), who she must help guide to the next step in the Trill symbiont-joining candidacy by offering her experience as a joined Trill.
		The episode is really about the relationship between Natima and Quark, but the completely underwritten plot surrounding the reasons Natima has come to the station--to protect two of her students (Michael Reilly Burke and Heidi Swedberg) who are wanted by Cardassian officials--makes surprisingly little sense, especially under any form of scrutiny.

	DS9- Background
		DS9 has become a major commercial, political, and strategic player in the Federation, and its value has piqued the interests many of the Federation's greatest foes, including the powerful Dominion from the Gamma Quadrant.
		He left Cardassian affairs after a civilian government came to power, but he has since returned as dictator after Cardassia Prime was annexed by the Dominion.
		She and Rom were married at the end of the fifth season, in the episode "Call to Arms".

	Deep Space Nine
		The Cardassians are trying to establish a substation on the other side of the wormhole, to control traffic through it from the Gamma Quadrant.
		DS9 has fallen to the alien warriors, and all the crew are dead.
		Cardassians of course are evil to the core, but that doesn't make too much of a change from the series.

		DS9 benefited more from being produced on DVD than any show I've ever seen, as the people at Paramount revamped the color and gamma - watching DS9 on syndicated television and on DVD is an almost night and day difference.
		On-going stories from episode to episode and an on-going main storyline weren't just an idea, it became the logical conclusion for action on the show.
		Specifically I remember an episode of season one when the Enterprise was under constant attack, only to have members of the crew worried about what kind of cake to make the Gunnery Sergeant.

	DS9 Encyclopedia & Lexicon - Recurring Characters
		By the time of the episode "Penumbra", Damar was descending into depression and alcoholism, and was essentially little more than a figurehead, though he had enough clout to secretly aid Dukat in his plan to masquerade as a Bajoran.
		Dukat was the son of a Cardassian officer who apparently at one time became overly ambitious, was betrayed and tortured by Garak, and eventually underwent trial and execution.
		Molly moved to DS9 with her parents, and was taken along by her mother on the Janitza Mountains expedition on Bajor, which lasted for a year and a half.

	Cardassians - SECTION31.COM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		DS9 is attempting this in this episode but chooses to do so by also showing how the supposedly good and heroic Bajorans and main crew also have dark and selfish sides that mirror those often seen in races like the Cardassians and Ferengi.
		In essence, Pa'Dar is a regular Cardassian with the same suspect characteristics of his race but also he is a man, a father who loves his son and who turned his back on war and bloodshed because without his family he lost his heart and his will to continue.
		It is hard to appreciate this episode fully as it tackles so many characters and angles at once and leaves mostly all of them on a downbeat note but it was rich with ideas, good racial characterisation and scene setting for the series.

		This episode was meant to be an environmental statement, but ended up being a little bit silly with the restrictions and ramifactions, which will be forgotten within a few episodes.
		This is the first episode where we see Deanna on bridge duty since her promotion to Commander in the episode "Thine Own Self".
		Dorvan V was given to the Cardassians as a result of the Federation-Cardassian Treaty of 2370, which is a result of the negotiations that took place after the Federation-Cardassian Armistice of 2367.

		At six years of age, however, "Jules," as his parents call him, was small for his age, physically awkward, and not very bright; in the first grade he was still struggling to tell a dog from a cat, while other pupils were learning how to read, write and use a computer.
		Bashir came close to graduating first in his class in 2367, but finished second to Elizabeth Lense (Episode: DS9 468 - Explorers) after he mistook a preganglionic fiber for a postganglionic nerve -- something any first-year medical student should be able to tell apart.
		This vacation proved to be the last period of relaxation Bashir would get for some time, as shortly after he was kidnapped by the Dominion while at a medical conference on Meezan IV and replaced by a Changeling.

	[DS9] Jammer's Review: First Season Episode Guide (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		While the episode has its origins in the action-adventure genre, much of what makes it a winner is the infectious friendship evident in the scenes between Tosk and O'Brien.
		The episode's relevant theme is the prisoners' error of continuing the pointless violence; neither faction can put aside their hate and think their situation through.
		It turns out that Darheel is really Marritza posing as the Cardassian criminal (who has been dead for years), trying to martyr himself so the Cardassian government will be forced to acknowledge its guilt for the Occupation--a moving display of self-sacrifice for the sake of progress on all ends.

		At the start of season four of DS9, Worf is assigned to DS9 (transferring from Security to Command in the process) when the Klingon-Federation alliance breaks down.
		It left him skaken and gave him a deep hatred for the Cardassians for what they did, and for the fact that he was forced to kill to defend the survivers.

	DS9 episode "Things Past" review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		This 8th episode of the 5th season was nothing to write home about.
		Another "The-crew-is-comatose-there's-nothing-the-Doc-can-do-about-it-and-they-think-themselves-out-of-it" episodes, a la TNG's "Shades of Gray," "The Inner Light," "Frame of Mind," DS9's "Distant Voices," and VOY's "The Thaw." Some of those were pretty good, some of those were pretty bad, and this one fits between them.
		After Garak revealed he had lifted a security device from one of the Cardassians, Odo remarked: "I see I'm going to have to add the word 'pickpocket' to your resume." Ah yes, it's very important to keep resumes updated at all times.

	Star Trek - Deep Space Nine, Episode 51: Second Skin - Video(VHS)
		This is a first-rate DS9 episode where the payoff is actually equal to the mystery, which is about as good as it gets with DS9.
		Another strength of "Second Skin" is that it plays Kira's hatred for the Cardassians against her basic decency when confronted with Legate Ghemor, who treats her like a long lost beloved daughter.
		That's right, according to Entek, an officer of the Obsidian Order, Kira (or Illayana) was a Cardassian who volunteered to have her face sugically altered and her memories of being a Cardassian replaced with memories of being a Bajorian freedom figheter to go undercover.

		When Kira is questioned about her time in the Cardassian prison at Elemspur she is surprised to find records and witnesses that say she was there even though she has no memory of ever being incarcerated.
		When we next see Kira her appearance has been changed to that of a Cardassian and she is being told that her true identity had been erased from her memory 10 years earlier when she was an Obsidian Order agent altered to look like a Bajoran resistance fighter named Kira Nerys.
		Legate Ghemor seems convinced that Kira is Iliana and tries to convince her that she is indeed his daughter but Kira can't bring herself to believe that the face in the mirror, the face of the enemy is her true appearance.

		Garak ends the episode on Cardassia, free from his exile, but his world is in ruins.
		We needed more ironies within the episode itself, we needed a stronger plot concerning the battle and the end of the war, instead of simply moving to end the war because it's the last episode.
		Sisko in this episode was forced to complete his ultimate mission, and in gratitude for helping them the Prophets preserved his life, to return.

	The Trek BBS: What's so great about DS9? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Whatever "action" DS9 encounters is brought to the station and in TNG they run straight into it full speed.
		My point about all this is that the idea of a starship-based show getting more action because of it's travelling nature makes all the sense in the world on paper, but in reality TNG as a show did not generally bear out the concept of getting more action via a travelling a starship.
		The first 5 episodes aren't enough keep going, although they are very hit and miss the first two years but it gets good with the second season finale and doesn't stop after that.

	[DS9] Jammer's Review: "Call to Arms"
		Given that they, like the Cardassians, suffered such substantial losses at the hands of the Dominion in "The Die is Cast," the Romulans seem like a perfect candidate for caving under pressure they probably realize they can't afford.
		As always with DS9, even though the story is far from over, the season finale doesn't come packaged as a cliffhanger--a style that I've really come to appreciate.
		Subplots notwithstanding, "Call to Arms" is yet another in the line of episodes that tie the plot threads together into a big web of political intrigue--an approach that has made this past year an absolutely thrilling season.

		All Cardassians are required to give one of their molars to the Cardassian Bureau of Identification, a procedure normally performed at age ten.
