Places
Section 2: Cardassia (Places in Cardassian space)
Adarak Prime
A planet with a Dominion weapons depot, protected by one garrison. There was a weakness in the perimeter defenses which Odo proposed that Damar exploit, using a small force. Damar's men balked at first, because the garrison there was Cardassian.
Algira sector
The sector containing the Unefra system. It was being searched by the starship Portland and a Cardassian cruiser for signs of the missing Mekong.
Almatha sector
A sector in Cardassian space, where a "decoy" of the Defiant appeared while the real one, hijacked by Tom Riker, attacked Outpost 47.
Amleth Prime
Site of a station in Cardassian space which was a possible next target of the Klingon Bird of Prey, but Kira pointed out that it is inside an emission nebula where the Klingons' cloaking device would be useless.
AR-558
In the Chin'toka system, site of a Dominion communications array, which had been held by Starfleet troops for five months without troop replacements. There had been 150 Starfleet personnel there, but they were down to 43 when the Defiant made a supply run there. Sisko took command of the troops there, since their captain and first officer had been killed. After a battle with the Jem'Hadar, new troops finally arrived.
Arawath

Atbar Prime
The site of one of Damar's rebel bases, destroyed by the Jem'Hadar.

Cardassian Empire
Also known as the Cardassian Union, the area of space ruled by the Cardassians.
Chin'toka system
A system in Cardassian space which was protected by only 5 squadrons of Jem'Hadar ships after the rest had been sent to fight the Romulans. This presented an opportunity for Starfleet, the Klingons, and the Romulans to invade. Although the Cardassians had placed orbital weapon platforms in the system, they were defeated and the attackers were victorious.
- "Tears of the Prophets"
The Alpha Quadrant fleets were bottled up there after their successful invasion.
The system was still in Federation hands. It has a Dominion communications array (on AR-558), which Starfleet hoped to use to tap into enemy communications.
It was retaken by the Dominion when the Breen launched a counteroffensive there, defeating the Federation reinforcements. 311 Alpha Quadrant ships lost power due to the Breen energy-dissipating weapons.
- "The Changing Face of Evil", "When It Rains..."
Dopa system
A system in Cardassian space, the probable location of the Cardassian warship closest to Korma when the Groumall found the destroyed outpost. Dukat later claimed to K'Temang that he was taking replicator and transporter parts there.
Empok Nor
A Cardassian space station, identical to Terok Nor (DS9); in the Trivas system. It was abandoned sometime in 2372, and boobytrapped against non-Cardassians as per Cardassian SOP. About a year later, O'Brien led a salvage team there, which encountered two of three Third Battalion soldiers left behind in stasis, the result of a failed drug experiment.
Empok Nor was the chosen site for the prisoner exchange of Keevan and Ishka.
- "The Magnificent Ferengi"
Dukat set up a community there of fifty members of the Cult of the Pah-Wraiths, to purify themselves in preparation for the day when the pah-wraiths would retake the Celestial Temple. The community was disbanded after Dukat's escape.

Lakarian City
A city on Cardassia Prime that has an amusement center where Dukat had been planning to take his son.

Manora

Monac IV
Site of a Dominion shipyard. An entire Klingon fleet tried and failed to destroy the shipyard, at the beginning of 2375. Martok and Worf planned to try it using just one ship. The sun has a magnetic instability near its equator, which the Rotarran exploited by flying close enough for O'Brien to trigger a solar plasma ejection and incinerate the shipyards.

A planet in the Badlands, thought uninhabited, where a secret Cardassian military buildup was correctly suspected by the Maquis. The buildup was an Obsidian Order operation, unknown even to Gul Dukat.
It turned out the buildup was a joint operation of the Obsidian Order and the Tal Shiar, to mount an invasion force for a first strike against the Dominion.

Quinor VII
The site of one of Damar's rebel bases, destroyed by the Jem'Hadar.
Rakal
Site of a Cardassian base, on its 4th moon. Dukat guessed the Klingon bird of prey wouldn't attack there, since the base is subterranean and too well-fortified to be damaged by anything less than a Vor'cha-class cruiser.
Regulak IV
The site of one of Damar's rebel bases, destroyed by the Jem'Hadar.
Rondac III
The site of Cardassian weapon emplacements, and a Vorta cloning facility, which was destroyed when Damar's forces made it the first target of their rebellion against the Dominion. Half of Damar's troops were wiped out.
