Cardassia Prime, also known simply as Cardassia, is the homeworld of the Cardassian Union. It is a Class M planet poor in natural resources.

The Cardassians were once a spiritual people. But because their planet was resource-poor, starvation and disease were rampant and people died by the millions.

With the rise of the military, new territories and technology were acquired by violence, at the cost of millions of lives sacrificed to the war effort. The military played a significant role in early Cardassian Society, and there was a compulsory military service for males. Military monuments line the Cardassian Homeworld, with some serving as burial sites.
