A quick question here regarding playable Cardassians, the Dominion faction and Bridge Officers.
The first question; if one were to create a Dominion character, is said character locked as a Jem Hadar or Vanguard Hadar? Can a player choose the Dominion storyline but play as a Cardassian?
To follow on from that question, are the Jem Hadar bridge officers freely available for FED & KDF characters?
I ask cause I’m considering a little emersion by creating a character using only Cardassian and Dominion ships and bridge officers with either a Cardassian or Jem Hadar character. Can it be done, short of using the alien generator which I simply don’t wish to do.
Also, Vorta. Are these available anywhere, likely as bridge officer rewards or something? There’s no playable option that I’m aware of, though may have missed that one!
Thanks in advance for all and any feedback.

> No Cardassians are not playable for Dominion, nor should they be since the Dominion slaughtered millions of Cardassians.
It amuses me when people use this argument when you consider how many Federation deaths have been the result of a Klingon blade or Disruptor blast.
Jem'Hadar Bridge Officers are available only to Dominion characters with the exception of the mission reward from the 'Facility 4028' mission. Even as a Jem, you can only buy them in white (common) quality. The only other VR ones are the ones from the story line and the ones from the Pack.
so actually a "Dominion " character should be pretty easy as a fed or kdf if want a cardassian captain it'll cost you more a little if you don't already have the big vanguard pack.
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
The only Vorta Boffs availible are the Holographic Loriss and Weyoun ones. You can find them on the Exchange.
Cardassian Boffs are available from very very rare Recruitment Assignments. Common Quality ones are available for purchase at your friendly Boff Vendor. There are some higher Quality ones on the Exchange but are quite expensive. They are there from people lucky enough to have gotten that Recruitment Assignment.
Garak was given away at STLV 2018 and is not availible unless you went or Cryptic sent you one afterwards for whatever reason. Not sure about any giveaways for him though.

Playing as the Dominion Faction, Jem'Hadar and Vanguard Jem'Hadar are the only playable options. Cardassians are only available for 2409 FED and KDF.
The Vanguard Jem'Hadar BOFFs in the C-Store and the Jem'Hadar BOFF from The 2400 are the only Jem'Hadar BOFFs available to other Factions.
Cardassian BOFFs of varying rarity can be acquired for your Jem'Hadar character via DOFF Recruitment assignments. White/Common quality can be acquired at ESD or Qo'Nos.
Other than the Holographic Vorta BOFFs, the only way to have a "Vorta" BOFF would be to use an Alien BOFF.

*points at Jeshoo* Totally looks 100% like a Vorta.
And yes, this is red-side, holoboffs of Feddies wear Fed uniforms even red-side.

Indeed you can roughly divide deaths in war into 4 categories based on how they effect the society, 1) deaths of soldiers in battle, which tend to have little effect unless they're massive, 2) deaths of civilians as an in-direct consequences of war, this would include both civilians who died due to being trapped in a battlezone and those who died to working at infrastuctal location that got targeted, 3)civilians who were intentionally targeted this would have major impact and 4)last but certainly not least deaths of children.
Most UFP deaths from the klingons would the first 2 categories (since klingons don't typically go out of their way to target civilians), while the death at Cardassia Prime were exclusively the last 2 categories.

A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."

Since I forgot to quote, I'm guessing you mistook it for a reply to your comment right before it?
Yeah that's why it's generally wise to quote the post you're responding unless you're 110% sure you'll not be mistaken to be commenting on a different post.

So there are options, combined with everything above, to get your Cardassian fix.
The hell? How are any of the other examples made here accepted over the latter? We've only ever had a single Klingon ever join the Federation, yet this game allows for more. We've never had a Trill join the Klingon Defence Force, we've only met one or two that have a background with Klingons, yet this game allows it. We've never seen a Talaxian as a member of any faction outside of their own space, and yet oddly again, this is allowed, and Cardassians joining the Warrior Way?
Aren't we suppose to be opening up to the escapism and freedom to create here? Why the restrictions?
PS: Point taken on the genocide element, but that's hardly relative when we take into account other elements of the game. The Bajorans forgave the Cardassians in lesser time than it's taken between the dates of DS9 and STO.
Talaxians are allegedly "lovable" space hobbits who allegedly are not hated by all right-thinking people, so I'm told it makes sense they're being allowed into both factions despite their awful food and constant need for captains to solve their problems. It's a special benefit to LTS subscribers that possibly sold many subscriptions just for the unlock. I was so happy!
That said, I'm not personally against letting Jem'Hadar or Vorta into Starfleet or KDF, or letting the Cardies into the Dominion. I just don't feel any need for it and there are other things I'd rather have Cryptic spend their time on.
Also, no matter how much extra they open things up, it'll never be enough for some people.
These restrictions are mostly set up as cheap references to canon events, as licenced games are wont to do. A "hey look you can be like that guy from the show" -moment. Worf in Starfleet, Dax working with the klingons, etc. Only way to point out the "special cases" is to restrict the others.
