Cardassia City or Ses'erakh was the capital city of Cardassia and the Cardassian Union. (DS9 novel: A Stitch in Time; PIC novel: Second Self)
It was constructed at some point in history to serve as a more appropriate seat of power for the Cardassian empire. (DS9 short story: "The Calling") Cardassia City was amongst those levelled by the Dominion in their genocidal revenge against the Cardassians at the end of the Dominion War in 2375. (DS9 episode: "What You Leave Behind")
The city was divided into seven different sectors, with the Tarlak Sector containing most governmental administrative buildings. It was structured somewhat like a wheel with six unequal spokes of each sector radiating out from the central Tarlak Sector. (DS9 novel: A Stitch in Time)
Sectors[]
Tarlak Sector[]
The Tarlak Sector was the administrative hub of Cardassia City as well as being an area of public spaces, grounds and monuments. Many famous Cardassians are buried here, including Legate Turat Lokar and Corat Damar. In the mid 24th century the sector was maintained by a man named Tolan who had a passion for Edosian Orchids which he planted widely throughout the sector.
