Changes: Cardassian military

Revision as of 05:15, 4 May 2011

The Cardassian military was associated with the Cardassian Union. It was divided into at least twelve orders and several militias, including Cardassian Militia 41. (TNG: "Ensign Ro"; DS9: "Emissary")

Members of the Cardassian military trained at the Cardassian Military Academy. From the 19th century until 2372, the Cardassian military's authority came from the Cardassian Central Command. When the Central Command was overthrown by the Cardassian dissident movement, Gul Dukat served as the military's liaison to the civilian Detapa Council. (DS9: "Duet", "Defiant", "The Way of the Warrior")

The name "Cardassian Guard" was stated in "Emissary" as being the service with which Gul Jasad's Order belonged. It is inconclusive whether or not this term applied to the entire military or just one branch. Subsequent references mentioned "the Cardassian military".

Actions during The Dominion War

After the Cardassian Union joined the Dominion, Dukat controlled the Cardassian and Dominion fleets, with Weyoun at his side overseeing his decisions.

After the Second Battle of Deep Space 9, Dukat lost his status as leader of the Cardassian people. His successor, Legate Damar, had limited control over the Cardassian military, since Weyoun and the Female Changeling often overrode his military decisions.

When Damar decided to rebel against the Dominion oppressors, Legate Broca was appointed leader of Cardassia. Unlike the two previous Cardassian leaders, Broca allowed Weyoun and the Female Changeling to control the Cardassian military at their discretion, simply carrying out their orders. (DS9: "Penumbra", "'Til Death Do Us Part", "Strange Bedfellows", "What You Leave Behind")
