The Verin'kano Tactic was a Cardassian starship tactic. The tactic was best used against a static target early on in a battle. A squadron or two of Hideki-class fighters engage the target first, followed by a group of slightly larger vessels, such as Guran-class or {class|Ragar}}. With each new wave the ships get bigger and more powerful. By the time the maneuver is completed it is usually sufficient to seriously weaken or destroy any target.
