I'd like to extend my deepest gratitude to everyone who helped make the document what it is. It is because of them that you have this net book for free. Special thanks to Lace for providing us with hosting space.
The link is not working.
I had to take the archive off line for a bit to fix a problem in Book 2. It will return in about an hour.
Sorry about that.
The link is functioning again with the corrected Book 2.
Sorry for the incovenience.
I've only had a chance to skim, but the books look good. Congrats to the Cardassian team from the Trill team.
At first I wasn't sure if drawings done in anime-style fit into it, but they're growing on me. Only one nitpick: Marritza came to DS9 and was killed in late 2369, not late 2370.
Briefly skimmed both books. Loved what you guys did with the history, & liked the variety of packages too.
Good work! Any chance of you guys doing the Bajoran side of things?
I love Trek and all... But not unless they pay me. ;)
My next project is an Icon sourcebook of the sector my game is set in.
Impressive. Most impressive.
Now I have something to read over the holidays.
Oh, and by the way Centurion Tre'val wanted me to pass along thanks as well for all the wonderful intelligence you have provided the Star Command.
WOW!
Well, I have downloaded the book and haven skimmed though it.
I have one thing to say:
FRICKING AMAZING!
With the Dominion War Sourcebook, SRM1, and Spacedock, "The Cardassians" joins the list of high quality soucebooks for LUGTrek.
To all those who contributed, much thanks and appreciation.
The bar has been set for all those netbooks to follow.
Once again, I'm looking for a hard-copy supplier.
The computers I have access to (at the public library) all have firewall-type software that prevents my downloading and unzipping the material. They also have obsolete Adobe readers, anyway.
I missed the DWS entirely, so I need that, too.
If anybody's willing to help out a poor technologically-impaired guy, let me know.
I'm very impressed by the quality and depth of the Cardassian Sourcebook as well.
Its a great piece of work..especially to someone who knew next to nothing about Cardassians.
C'mon, anybody? There's 20$ of good American money in it for you...
Well my suggestion, first off is get a computer, rather one second hand. Even a k6 500 is relatively inexpensive, check want adds in the paper, etc, or reliable store selling computer equipment, if you ask they should be able to get older computers.
( don't go to places like the future shop, they won't help you, and charge too much ).
If this is not possible try a friends computer, is the next best bet.
Or a cyber cafe' , I'm sure there is one around. However uploading and downloading depends on the willingness of the owners........
Hope that helped.
Not that I would expect any.......cash, not nessesary
:D :D
I know there's very little mention of religion on Cardassia. Can we assume why this is why there weren't religious packages included?
I believe it was mentioned in the history part of the text that once the Cardies were a very religious people, with a whole pantheon of Gods, but when the New Order cmae out they abolished all religion in the Union.
Thanks, just found that section after a harder glance.Quote:

In the face of the terrible hardships on Cardassia and the onset of the modern world, religion began to die out. The Telerath Jonak religion remained until 2291 when the Central command outlawed religion throught Cardassia in response to religious protest on Cardassia Prime.
There's no reason why Cardassian characters wouldn't be religious, but there is no organised religion. Except possibly amongst the dissident movement. The Theology (Hebetian) Skill can be gained in the Dissident/Criminal skill packages.
Of course, after the war is whole different thing. In all likelyhood someone would try to re-establish a church.
Greg (Cardassian Historian and Theologist)
When I wrote the packages, I did not include a religious package intentionally. The practice of Cardassian religion, because of the reasons mentioned above, is a dissident activity. It's why you'll find some Theology (Hibetian) skills in the Dissident packages and no full-blown religion package in Book II.
Don't forget about the religious faction after the Dominion war. Their presense will be in an influence on who controls the union.
It kind of remind me of that Tom Clancy game about who will control Russia after Yeltsin died.

Alexandre Maier has created us a set of covers for the Cardassian sourcebooks. Aren't they pretty? :)
These will be added into the next iteration of the sourcebook, but until then, I figured you guys would want them sooner.
Aha! :DQuote:

ALEXANDRE.
PS : The covers for the Klingon SRM & the TOS SRM are ready, but I need an artist (somebody who can make 3D views from the ships of "the Way of D'Era") to make the Romulan SRM cover. Help is welcome...
