Cardassian Central Command

The Cardassian Central Command (sometimes known as the High Command) is the military authority of the Cardassian Union. Officially it reported to the civilian Detapa Council; in reality, Central Command, together with the Obsidian Order - which the Central Command has a long standing distrust of - ruled the Cardassian Union. The Cardassian Union, the Detapa Council and the Central Command and the Obsidian Order were formed in the 19th century.

Central Command was overthrown in 2372 in favor of civilian rule. The Obsidian Order had collapsed a year previously.

In late 2374, General Martok told Captain Benjamin Sisko and Admiral William Ross that "by this time next year, the three of us will drink bloodwine in the halls of Cardassia's Central Command". Martok was right in his assumption. (DS9: "Tears of the Prophets", "What You Leave Behind")
