An alien race physically characterized by gray skin with black hair & ridges down their neck & shoulders & a spoon shaped structure on their fore heads. A very militaristic race. Their legal system mimics that of communist China where the accused is assumed guilty & the trial serves to show the defendants guilt rather then giving them a chance defend against the charges. This is used (as on Earth today in China) to reinforce the supremacy of the state. Cardassian crime novels are found boring by most earth standards since everyone did it, the mystery is to figure how everyone is guilty. In this vein Cardassians Agatha Christie novels such as "Ten Little Indians" & "Murder on the Orient Express" where everyone in the story was involved in the murders.

Cardassian crime novels are found boring by most earth standards since everyone did it, the mystery is to figure how everyone is guilty. In this vein, Cardassians would prefer Agatha Christie novels such as ''Ten Little Indians'' or ''Murder on the Orient Express'', since nobody in these novels was actually innocent, rather everyone was either complicit or actively guilty.

*Cardassians had their own secret police called the Obsidian Order which were used to intimidate the citizens of Cardassia into obedience & to harass, abuse & arrest any individual thought guilty (usually innocent) of criticising the state or it's policies.

*The Cardassians conquered & enslaved many worlds, most prominently Bajor. They built the Federation space station Deep Space Nine (which the Cardassians called Terak Nor) as a slave labor facility where Bajoran slaves processed or for Cardassian use.
