Kardoss

Kardoss is a fictional planet featured in the science fiction television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. It is located in the Bajoran system and is home to the Kardossians, a humanoid species. The Kardossians are depicted as a militaristic and technologically advanced society, often portrayed as antagonists or rivals to the Bajorans and the Federation. Their appearance is generally similar to humans, though often distinguished by specific cranial ridges or other minor physiological differences.

Kardossian society is characterized by a hierarchical structure and a focus on order and discipline. Their history is marked by conflict, including a prolonged occupation of Bajor before the arrival of the Cardassians.
