Star Trek: 10 Most Powerful Ships
7. Galor Class Cardassian Cruiser
Of all the antagonistic races in the Star Trek universe, it's entirely possible that the Cardassians are the worst of them all. They occupied Bajor for 50 years, strip mining their resources and killing millions in the process. The Cardassians were also the first species to sell the Alpha Quadrant out to the Dominion.
But they do make a decent warship.
The Galor Class cruiser was a mainstay of the Cardassian fleet for years. They were heavily armed, and surprisingly versatile, which made them perfect for any number of operations. In many cases, that meant suppressing Bajoran Resistance cells and fighting the Federation. Still, these were the ships that help build and maintain the Cardassian Union for many years.
Eventually, the Keldon Class cruisers were developed and purported to be superior to the Galor class. But they carried less armaments than their Galor counterparts and seemed to fair much more poorly in battle. Despite Cardassian military rhetoric, the Galor class cruiser was the ship that defined an empire.
