The Dominion withdrawal to Cardassia Prime, a planet in the Cardassian system, during the Dominion War, shown on a tactical display
The Cardassian system was an inhabited planetary system located in the Cardassian sector. This sector was a region of space in the Alpha Quadrant.
The system consisted of a primary and five named planets. Cardassia Prime (Cardassia II) was the inhabited homeworld of the Cardassians, a warp capable species. This planet was also the capital of the Cardassian Union. (DS9: "Explorers") The system also included Cardassia I, and the planets Cardassia III, Cardassia IV, and Cardassia V that were colonized by the Cardassians. (DS9: "The Homecoming", "Shadowplay", "Prophet Motive")
In 2375, the Dominion began their withdrawal to Cardassia Prime during the waning days of the Dominion War. The Allied Forces planned a risky and costly military operation to end the war by penetrating the system and engaging the Dominion forces stationed in orbit of Cardassia Prime.
