Cardassia is the star at the center of the planet Cardassia's system. The name of the star is also used as a form of the Cardassian homeworld's name, Cardassia Prime, and is the seat of power for the Cardassian Union.

History and specifics[]

The star is a bright red dwarf (class M2V). (Last Unicorn RPG module: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Narrator's Toolkit)

The system has a class K star, and eight planets, four of which are class M planets, all four inhabitated. The system also has two asteroid belts. (ST reference: Star Charts)

In TNG video game: Birth of the Federation, the orbital configuration of the game map star systems was randomly generated each time a new game started.

Volcanoes can be found on each planet in the system, including Cardassia Prime. (Star Trek Adventures RPG module: Alpha Quadrant Sourcebook)

Mirror universe[]

This system exists in the mirror universe much as it does in the prime reality. (ST video game: Fleet Command)

Planets and local bodies[]

The Star Trek Deep Space Nine Roleplaying Game Narrator's Toolkit states that Cardassia Prime is the third planet of the star system. The Star Trek Roleplaying Game Player's Guide states that Cardassia Prime is the third planet in an eight planet system. In Star Trek: Infinite it is the second planet in a five-planet system while in Star Trek Adventures module: Alpha Quadrant Sourcebook it is the second of eight planets.

Background[]

In Star Trek: Conquest, the Cardassia Prime system was located in the bottom left of the game map, much as it is located in the local space map projections in Star Charts. As a "hero" system containing a player race homeworld, this system had the maximum of 4 stars, which modified the mining or research efficiency and the experience advantage of players holding and using the system. There were 2 points of access to the system, through Chin'toka and Kelvas.
