After the [[Dominion War]] ended, [[Cardassian Union]] signed a peace treaty with the [[Federation]] giving up the right to field a military or wage a war. In return, [[Starfleet]] has been assigned to protect the Cardassian space from a potential invasion. A secret terrorist organization, the [[True Way]], fights to return the Union to its former glory and reinstate the [[Obsidian Order]]. [[Commander]] [[Sarish Minna]] of [[Deep Space Nine]] has requested aid in reacquiring a [[Bajoran]] relic stolen by the True Way. To defeat the True Way, you will need to uncover the location of their base in the [[Badlands]] and identify their supporters. ==List of missions== {{Episode |image = File:EP - Lost and Found.png |name = Lost and Found |table = 1 |description = [[Deep Space Nine]] guards the gateway to the [[Gamma Quadrant]].

Following {{mission|The New Link}}: |} {{:TFO/Counterpoint}} {{:TFO/Assault on Terok Nor}} </div> {{clear}} ==Notes== * The "Cardassian Struggle" arc (and "Dominion Domination" for [[Klingon Defense Force|Klingon]] players) was reworked as part of ''[[Season Eleven: New Dawn]]''. Most of the missions were removed, some were condensed or replaced with a completely new plot. Only {{mission|The New Link}} retains some of the original story. ''For more information on the removed missions, see [[Story Arc: Cardassian Struggle/Removed missions|here]].'' * Despite its name, the new Cardassian Struggle story arc has a larger focus on the [[Terran Empire|Terran incursions]] and the [[Alpha Jem'Hadar]], and not on the [[Cardassian Union]]. The role of the [[True Way]], who are supposed to be the main antagonists of the arc, has also been somewhat minimized. * {{mission|Task Force Operations: Cardassian Struggle}} was added in 2018 as a wrapper for Terran-related [[Task Force Operation]]s. It was removed in 2020. ==See also== * [[Season Eleven: New Dawn]] {{All episodes}} [[Category:Cardassian Struggle|*]][[Category: Episodes]] [[de:Handlungsbogen: Der cardassianische Kampf]]
