Cardassians
The home world of the Cardsassian People is Cardassia Prime. The planet is very poor in resources. The planet is Class M and is very hot.
Physiology.
Cardassians have photographic memories. In appearance, Cardassians are reptilian like, tall with long necks. They have several bony protrusions and ridges. Their skin is usually a light brown colour or beige. Their physiology and constitution is much stouter than the human norm, showing immunity to the effects of depressants and anesthetics, neither two-plus bottles of Kanar nor 30cc's of TrIiptacederine has any effect; the latter amount would knock out an Algorian Mammoth.
Culture.
Family is central to cardassian life, and it is not uncommon to find several generations of a family living under the same roof. Swearing the truth on the lives of one's children is tantamount to the highest honesty a Cardassian can attest. Parents are manipulated by state media in the name of their children, and the presumed-guilty justice system aims to impress children against anti-state lawlessness and chaos, inviting some to the courtroom live and others to watch. Although family so important true orphans have no place with their society. Cardassians are considered expert architects. Education on Cardassia is said to be one of the best in the known universe. The cardassian judicial system is somewhat strange as a verdict is decided before the trial. The Verdict is always guilty. Women have an equal place in society, and the military. Their officials and officers were not above taking bribes. Other cultures don't seem to share their taste in food, such as yamok sauce. Their engineering standards tend to be lower than Starfleet specifications. Military monuments line the planet, with some serving as burial sites. Another trait is an attention to detail: they taught record-keeping skills to many planets, including Bajor. Education is power and joy is vulnerability. The mental training can extend to enough discipline to deflect a Vulcan Mind Meld.Similar to Humans, Cardassians celebrate birthdays, respect marriage, and use a given name before the family name. Cardassians also respect advanced age as a sign of power and dignity. It was recently determined that Bajorans made interstellar contact with Cardassians before they had the capability of spaceflight.
