The fate of the Cardassians following the Dominion War from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is one of Star Trek's biggest mysteries, and now the head editor of the Trek comics produced by IDW Publishing has teased a resolution. Last fall, IDW began a new flagship Star Trek title, and this spring the book’s second story arc kicks off. Senior Editor Heather Antos has strongly hinted it will explore the fallout of the Dominion War, which left the Cardassian Empire in ruins. What happened to the Cardassians since has been a mystery–until now.
Star Trek Senior Editor Heather Antos hinted on Twitter that the book’s upcoming arc will feature the Cardassians, revealing their post-Deep Space Nine fate. Antos was replying to a fan who Tweeted they wished to see the Cardassian storyline resolved, saying, “Boy, do I have a comic for you, then, coming this spring…” Antos then shared Mike Feehan’s cover for the series' seventh issue.
IDW’s solicitations for the issue seemingly confirm Antos’ hint, stating that Ben Sisko is hauled back to Cardassia to answer for his “war crimes” during the Dominion Conflict.
