Biology The Cardassians are bi-pedal Reptilian humanoids that have thick grey skin and a partial exoskeleton. They prefer warm humid climates on rocky worlds with oxygen-based atmospheres. The average Cardassian is about 2 meters in height and 100 kilograms in mass, with males larger than females. Cardassians possess above average strength but are not very agile. The average lifespan for a Cardassian is between 80 to 100 years. Society The Cardassian Union is controlled by a military government. A Supreme Commander is chosen every six years by a Tribunal Council. The loyalty of the Cardassian people is monitored by the Obsidian Order, a brutal intelligence gathering agency. Cardassians are very proud and loyal to their race. Cardassian males often serve in the military or production while female Cardassians prefer scientific and medical endeavours. Much of the population remains poor with wealth concentrated among few individuals. Brief History The Cardassians were once a peaceful civilization, but the need for resources favored a military expansionist philosophy that has left a legacy of destruction and terror. The occupation of Bajor accompanied a long war with the Federation until peace was uneasily agreed upon. Shortly after an invasion by the Klingons left the Cardassians vulnerable, a subsequent alliance with the Dominion was formed and backfired when the Jem'Hadar bombed the Cardassian homeworld as a reprisal for terrorist attacks. The Cardassian Union remains in shambles and has begun the long process of rebuilding. Characteristics Advanced Traits
