A mature Cardassian colony well over a hundred years old, Kora II is home to the prestigious Kora Military Academy. Graduation from the Kora Academy once put an officer on a fast-track to promotion and advancement, and the institution is well known for its training in logistics and tactics. During the war, the Academy's programs were accelerated to turn out officers to replenish the depleted ranks of the military. This led to a lowering of standards. Any objections were overcome by the desperate need for new personnel. Otherwise, Kora II was only peripherally affected by the war, not lying on any strategic routes.
Since the end of the war, the Academy and military personnel of Kora II looked forward to a return to traditional Cardassian order, but this does not appear forthcoming. There is considerable debate about Cardassia's future in the Alpha Quadrant, and the most prominent men and women of Kora II favor a return to "traditional values," which is to say rule by the military and the enforcement of public order. Certainly, the planet stands to lose considerable prestige if the Central Command and the military are eclipsed. While the Academy continues to train new officers to serve and honor the Cardassian Union, there have been protests, both pro- and anti-military, on the planet.
