Cardassia Prime
Encyclopedia : C : CA : CAR : Cardassia Prime
Cardassia Prime (also known as "Cardassia") is the homeworld of the Cardassians in the fictional series Star Trek.
The planet's climate is warmer than that preferred by several species – human and Bajoran characters, among others, make comments throughout 's run about Cardassians' preference for heat, while characters like Elim Garak complain about the uncomfortably cool temperatures preferred by non-Cardassians. Its landscape is often arid, though animal and plantlife are still dominant on the surface. At the time of its introduction to the Star Trek universe, Cardassia Prime's population is almost all Cardassian, although Jem'Hadar, Vorta, and Breen take up positions there when Cardassia joins The Dominion.
In the closing days of the Dominion War, the Dominion Founders order a "scorched earth" approach to the Cardassians and their homeworld for their betrayal during the final battle of the war, resulting in a death toll of 800 million.
