Star Trek Species: Cardassians
"My dear Doctor- I often imagined what your first visit to Cardassia Prime might be like. When we first met, I pictured us strolling through the capital, finding shade under the great and ancient ithian trees that lined the boulevards of Tarlak, stopping to drink hot bitter gelat in the corner houses of Torr, and climbing the heights of Coranum to look down upon the splendor of my city, the heart of the empire that I loved and served. I imagined a journey into the country, to a grand house where you could see our world in all it's stark beauty, and understand how the land had formed us, and the nature of the demands it put upon us."- Elim Garak
