| - Cardassian history is perhaps one of the most brutal histories of any species inhabiting the Alpha Quadrant. Originally, the Cardassian homeworld was that of a deeply spiritual and artistic people, which soon fell into decay when famine and plague struck their civilization. Over the years, Cardassian society evolved to adopt a philosophy that sacrificed their individual freedoms for the greater good of the state and their society. For centuries, the iron fisted Cardassian military sought to solve Cardassia's problems through the conquest of numerous worlds and species throughout the galaxy, leading to an era of expansion and conflict. This ultimately left Cardassian civilization in ruins once again after suffering the staggering losses of two major wars.
- In 2369, evidence was discovered that suggested many of the galaxy's humanoid races were descended from a single humanoid race. Around 4.5 billion years ago they had seeded many worlds with a DNA code to guide evolution to a form resembling their own. Cardassians displayed evidence of these DNA sequences. (TNG: "The Chase" ) The ancient First Hebitian civilization was a highly-developed civilization which once thrived on Cardassia Prime. The Hebitian burial vaults were said to be magnificent and filled with many artifacts made of jevonite. (TNG: "Chain of Command, Part II" )
- The first civilization on Cardassia was that of the Hebitians. They were an advanced sophisticated culture on every level, they used solar technologies but also lived in harmony with nature, valuing the soil and living a sustainable self-sufficient life envied by the surrounding planets. The Hebitian society eventually fell when Cardassia suffered catastrophic climate change, the rainforests and grasslands transformed into desert and scrubland. Disease killed millions; and the survivors formed the militaristic and expansionist society known as the Cardassians. (DS9 novel: A Stitch in Time)

(DS9 novel: A Stitch in Time) In the year 1345, the Great Starvation begins on Cardassia and saw the end of the Second Hebitian Period. (Last Unicorn RPG module: All Our Yesterdays: The Time Travel Sourcebook) In 2376 a jevonite figure was discovered in city of B'hala on Bajor. This find interested Prylar Eivos Calan a great deal, as the material had previously been believed to have been exclusive to Cardassia and quantum dating of the artifact proved it predated the Hebitians. (DS9 novel: Avatar, Book One) Also that year, Dominion shelling of Cardassia opened the oldest known tomb of the Hebitian Age. The artifacts and art at this site suggest that the first Hebitians were Bajoran, the later Hebitians being Cardassians influenced by Bajoran culture. (New Worlds, New Civilizations short story: "The Glories of the Hebitians") By the late 24th century, Elim Garak would look upon the pre-Cardassian Union time period as "dark ages."
