#ds9 #The Cardassian Union spans almost 40 named planets. It should feel more like it actually does #The real reason no one knows fuck all about Cardassian culture is only partially because they're very private and secretive #The rest is because forcing an entire species into one culture over a massive geographic region makes So Much localized variation in #That culture (such that one may think it pointless to force people into that but the Name and manufactured unity are more important than #The minutiae of wedding traditions) #Such that if you get 5 ferengi and 5 Federationers in a room theyll share 12 different regional variations of Cardassian culture
