Cardassian-Federation War

The Cardassian-Federation War was a conflict which raged from 2394 through 2397. The conflict remained between the Cardassian Union and the United Federation of Planets and was precipitated by a number of factors, not the least of which was the Occupation of Bajor.

In addition to the aggressive expansionism of the Cardassians, there were numerous skirmishes between the two powers prior to the open engagement of hostilities.

The Ikev Sector was one of the regions where very little strategic operations took place, but the efforts of the Irregular Federation Forces caused a great many issues with the Cardassian supply lines. Among the areas contended in that sector were Hexikor Prime, The Mill and Bardon Alpha.

Rear Admiral Errol Heatherby was assigned to that sector of space during the war.

The War ended after the Battle of Cardassia in which the Federation task force managed to decimate the last significant forces of the Cardassian fleet. During the battle, several vessels were lost on both sides, including the USS Tripoli and the USS Bastion.

The terms of the treaty dictated the newly established borders between the two powers, as well as guaranteeing the freedom of Bajor from Cardassian rule.
