Cardassians are an alien race featured in the Star Trek multimedia franchise. Though they were first introduced in the fourth season of Star Trek: The Next Generation in the episode called "The Wounded", the Cardassians really came into their own in the spin-off series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, where they served as the central antagonists throughout the series. Notable Cardassians include Gul Dukat, a major adversary in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Garak, a friendly tailor who resides aboard Deep Space Nine, whose true motives are a mystery to everyone but Garak himself.
