Star Trek: Armada III Klingon-Cardassian War

"This is exactly what the Founders want; Klingon against Cardassian, Federation against Klingon." – Benjamin Sisko, 2372 ("The Way of the Warrior") The Klingon-Cardassian War was a major interstellar conflict resulting from the Klingon Empire invading the Cardassian Union, lasting from early 2372 to mid-2373. The war devastated the Cardassian state and greatly contributed to its eventual absorption into the Dominion, thus achieving what the Klingon invasion had claimed to prevent. The manipulation of the Klingons into launching an unprovoked attack on the Cardassians would prove to be one of the greatest consequences of Changeling infiltration in the Alpha Quadrant.
