	Only a handful of Cardassian systems or planets were taken by the Federation, and only minimal changes were made to the pre-war border agreements – a region of Cardassian influence still protruded towards the UFP core worlds, even though now cordoned by Starfleet forces. Negotiations aimed at creating a static, easily fortifiable Neutral Zone around the region were making slow progress because of the fact that both sides had established numerous colonies in the volume of space, so intermingled that no practical border surface could be drawn to separate the two sides. Neither side was ready to risk a renewed military conflict over these basically worthless colonies, yet any sort of compromise over the geometry of the border surface would have meant a fatal sign of weakness in the Cardassian negotiation culture. Ultimately, negotiations converged on the solution of enclosing colonies of both sides inside a wide Demilitarized Zone, a region of partially Cardassian, partially UFP space where civilian traffic would be allowed but military presence strictly limited.

	No major inventions or technology breakthroughs accompanied this war on the Federation side, although the advanced FN, LF and GN series warp engines were introduced. These designs fought for dominance for a while until settling for a division of labor: Shuvinaaljis’ LF would become the favored heavy duty, low performance engine family for Marine and transport vessels, Leeding’s GN would propel the high performance deep space types, while Cochrane Warp Dynamics’ FN would be used on some medium ship types until bowing out. None of the types would quite attain the near-monopoly status of the CWD LN-64 family of the past century. Nor did the introduction of the technology result in upgrading of existing designs via engine refitting, save for some experiments performed on the Niagara class.

	On the other hand, the Cardassian military acquired significant new technology when it obtained its first effective antimatter torpedoes and high powered phaser weapons. While reverse-engineering of captured Starfleet and Klingon equipment played a role, Cardassia also received covert technological support directly from the Romulans and indirectly through the Ferengi. Rising rapidly from the dense ranks of second-rate space nuisances to the more exclusive group of UFP arch-enemies, the Cardassians would feature prominently in Alpha Quadrant politics from the [[2350s]] to the mid-[[2370s]].
