Marqi did no wrong change my mind

You can't imagine fighting to stay in your home?

When discrete cultures are no longer merely continental or even planetary, but galactic and when all needs within a membership of species can be met, the necessity of giving in to that sentiment (especially when needless war is the consequence of obstinacy) is - quite frankly - nonexistent.

Which is what makes it an exceptional case, not one to make rules by. What if the narrative focused on the resettlement of the Novans? No just their culture, their biology was deeply affected by the adaptions they made to survive.

I rather think that that would be the exceptional case, where there was explicitly a good reason why the Novans couldn't be resettled, or at least a complication involved in doing so.

AFAWK, no such complication existed for the Maquis settlers, with perhaps the Dorvan V ones being the closest thing we witnessed to an exceptional case.

Yup.

It delves in to the unsavory aspects of humanity.

So evolved, am I right.?

20 years before 2370 was just before the Cardassian war where O'Brien cut his teeth.

That place was a warzone moments after it was settled.

For further reference: According to "The Wounded" (2367), the peace treaty was signed only a year prior to the episode (2366). According to various episodes, the Cardassian Wars (plural) started in 2347. That's 20 years before "The Wounded" and 23 years before "Journey's End".

The area was potentially a war zone 3 years before they settled Dorvan V.

They'd have to learn Cardassian.

Give up on Federation Standard (French).

Send their kids to a Cardassian School, even if its remote learning, it's still a Cardassian cirriculum, so that they will be eligible for a Cardassian University, which will put them on track for the Cardassian civil service or military.

The long game would have been for those Farmers to infest the Cardassian military industrial complex with human faces, perhaps, after a generation or two, all the way to the top.

Exceptionally well said.
