Trager

The CUW Trager (Ilojan transliteration: Trayger) was a cruiser in service during the 24th century.

History
In 2367, the Trager, under the command of Gul Akellen Macet, opened fire on the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) in retaliation for incursions into Cardassian space by the USS Phoenix and after being outmatched by the Enterprise, undertook a joint mission with Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Enterprise.

When the Cardassian Union came under Dominion jurisdiction, the Trager was one of twenty ships selected to receive upgraded sensors and transporters based on Dominion technology. This, however, had no sway upon its commander's loyalties.

The Trager continued in grudging service of the Cardassian government through the Dominion War until the devastating Septimus Massacre (known as the Invasion of Septimus III within the Federation). Sickened by the wholesale slaughter of the Eleventh Order of the Cardassian Guard--five hundred thousand souls--Gul Macet made the decision to rebel against the Dominion and ordered the eradication of the Dominion contingent aboard his vessel (Star Trek: Sigils and Unions--The Thirteenth Order).

One of the Trager's first actions against the Dominion was to participate in the Battle of Rondac III, a raid by Cardassian rebels against a Dominion cloning facility. The Trager sustained serious damage during this attack.

After the Dominion War, Gul Macet would offer the services of the Trager in the evacuation of the colony during the Gateways crisis. At this time, due to the Cardassian Union's lack of resources, the Trager still had not received repairs for numerous hull breaches incurred during its time in the rebellion.
