Cardassia Prime (also known as "Cardassia") is the homeworld of the
Cardassians in the
fictional series
Star Trek.In Cardassia's early history, its inhabitants were a peaceful and spiritual people. In the days of the First Hebitian Civilization, the planet boasted a vast wealth of art and culture; the people were said to have elaborate burial vaults with unimaginable treasures. Unfortunately, Cardassia's lack of
natural resources caused terrible
famine, and the Hebitian civilization fell into decay. Its ruins were plundered by starving Cardassians who sought to sell whatever they could to provide for themselves, and a
military dictatorship soon came to power.
