Corat Damar

Corat Damar (played by Casey Biggs) was a Cardassian male and a long time friend and officer of Skrain Dukat.

In 2372, he was serving with Dukat on the Groumall. He later helped Dukat, Kira Nerys and Tora Ziyal capture a Klingon Bird-of-Prey. (DS9 episode: "Return to Grace")

Damar continued to serve as Dukat's second in command when Cardassia joined the Dominion, with Dukat as its newly appointed leader. When Dukat was captured by Allied forces when they recaptured Deep Space Nine, Damar became the new leader of the Cardassian people.

Over time, Damar became disillusioned with the Cardassian-Dominion Alliance. Damar soon began drinking heavily when he realized that he was no more than a puppet for Weyoun and the Founders.

In 2375, after the Breen allied themselves with the Dominion and dealt the Federation Alliance forces a crushing defeat, Damar came feel that without firing a shot the Dominion had conquered the Cardassian people. He defected from the dominion, and urged the Cardassian people to rise up against the Dominion. With several loyal Guls from the cardassian military, Damar formed the Cardassian resistance. Aided by crewmembers from Deep Space Nine, he began attacking several dominion strongholds and bases. This had a heavy personal price for Damar - his wife and children were killed by the Dominion. Eventually, the entire Cardassian military turned on the Dominion, and the Founders were forced to accept surrender. This however came at a terrible price, with the Jem'Hadar killing over 800 million Cardassians before being order to stand down. Damar was shot and killed while leading the Cardassian revolt against the Dominion Headquarters. His last orders were to keep going, no matter the cost.
