Since the end of the Dominion War in late 2375, relations between the Cardassian Union and the UFP have been strained at times yet overall very progressive. Once mortal enemies in battle, the animosity and distrust between the two empires has remained subdued, and relations between the two factions in 2390 are now more stable and amiable than ever before. Following the Third Federation-Cardassian Treaty of 2380, both sides have since entered into a new era of cooperation and mutual progress as evidenced by an increasing number of new trade agreements and joint colonies.
