I've Got A Question...

The question I have I don't think has ever been addressed on any Trek board or in any of the series. When did the Federation come into contact with the Cardassians, I don't know why I'm asking but it just keeps bugging me that I don't know.

The Cardassians occupied Bajor in 2309 - http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/libr...icle/70571.html

The Cardies and Feds made first contact sometime between then and the start of TNG. O'Brien served on a ship that participated in the 'Border Wars' between the two races prior to his assignment on the Enterprise.

look it's quite simple, enterprise d made made first contact, and the character of gul ducat was the negotiator(that's the first cardassian we ever see) than thay got into a war(naturaly) and o'brien was a soldier(that's why he hates them)
