True Way operative

An operative of the True Way.

The True Way was a Cardassian terrorist organization that operated in the 2370s. They believed the Federation to be the greatest threat to the Cardassian people, and the cause of the Cardassian Union's economic and political difficulties. Until the 2370s they had never commited any acts of terrorism against the Federation or Bajor.

In 2372, they detonated a bomb that destroyed the runabout USS Orinoco, which was carrying the senior officers of Deep Space 9. (DS9: "Our Man Bashir")

Later that year, members of the True Way unsuccessfully attempted to assassinate Bajoran First Minister Shakaar Edon on Deep Space 9. (DS9: "Crossfire")

It is unclear whether or not the True Way remained active when Cardassia allied itself with the Dominion in 2373.

Ronald D. Moore commented: "I think this group was made irrelevant when the Cardassians joined the Dominion. I think our initial concepts were that they were a sort of fundamentalist group dedicated to the return of the old Cardassian government." [1]

The True Way reemerges in 2376, where they try to destabilize the new Cardassian government. Elim Garak reveals that he once joined the group to spy on them. (DS9 Pocket: Worlds of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Volume 1)
