Notes

• Culture: Relaxed (for Cardassians), but guarded against outsiders.
• Other Details: Arawath has a far larger number of influencial Cardassians than its population would suggest.

Located well within the Cardassian border, Arawath II is an active and thriving colony. Although most humanoids find Arawath II's hot, dry climate uncomfortable, it is ideally suited for Cardassians, who find the planet's weather quite pleasant. Over the past twenty years, Arawath developed a reputation as a fine place for older Cardassians who prefer a warmer climate to retire, and a place for younger Cardassians and family to carve out a niche for themselves. The colony has an older than average population because of this, and a number of Cardassian legates and other influential people retired to Arawath.

Because of the concentration of important people in the colony, the Obsidian Order maintains a secret base on Arawath, keeping a close eye on the population for any signs of trouble. There have never been any, but things on Arawath changed recently. The events of the Dominion War largely bypassed Arawath, it is too remote and has no military or strategic value. Now, with the loss of so many Cardassian leaders and officials during the war, many of the retirees on Arawath are finding their talents in demand once again. While some prefer to remain retired, or want nothing to do with talk of a "new Cardassia," many others are returning to serve the Union once again. Arawath II is fast becoming a center for political action in the Union.
