Star Trek's Senior Editor has hinted that IDW's new flagship Trek comic will explore the fate of the Cardassians after the Dominion War.
The fate of the Cardassians following the Dominion War from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is one of Star Trek's biggest mysteries, and now the head editor of the Trek comics produced by IDW Publishing has teased a resolution. Last fall, IDW began a new flagship Star Trek title, and this spring the book’s second story arc kicks off. Senior Editor Heather Antos has strongly hinted it will explore the fallout of the Dominion War, which left the Cardassian Empire in ruins.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Star Trek Senior Editor Heather Antos hinted on Twitter that the book’s upcoming arc will feature the Cardassians, revealing their post-Deep Space Nine fate. Antos was replying to a fan who Tweeted they wished to see the Cardassian storyline resolved, saying, “Boy, do I have a comic for you, then, coming this spring...” Antos then shared Mike Feehan’s cover for the series' seventh issue.
IDW’s solicitations for the issue seemingly confirm Antos’ hint, stating that Ben Sisko is hauled back to Cardassia to answer for his “war crimes” during the Dominion Conflict.Whatever Happened to the Cardassians? The Dominion War was one of Star Trek’s greatest storylines, but its immediate fallout has never been explored on screen. Playing out over seasons four through seven of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the Dominion War came to involve nearly every major player in the Star Trek universe.
Now, as hinted by Antos, IDW’s Star Trek comic will finally give fans the resolution they crave. The initial fan inquiry that prompted Antos’ tweet also mentioned Garak, the Cardassian master spy turned tailor. Despite only being a supporting character and not a member of the main cast, the conniving and mysterious Garak became one of the most enduring characters in the Star Trek universe.
The Cardassians were once a mighty empire, capable of taking the Federation down to the wire. The Dominion War, however, left them with nothing. How does such a society rebuild? Do they go in a more benevolent direction? Or will they repeat the mistakes of the past? These questions have been on the minds of Star Trek fans since Deep Space Nine’s final episode in 1999.
