State of the Union (or What Happened to Other Species)

Bajor: This world is still occupied by Cardassia. The Bajorans are an oppressed people. The Hill Province on Bajor was the site of an uprising that resulted in a massacre of thousands of Bajorans when the Cardassians cracked down on the protesters. Prior to the uprising, it looked as if Cardassia was in talks to withdraw from the planet. Unfortunately, the result of the uprising meant Cardassia doubled-down on their control of Bajor.

Cardassia: This planet is still a strong force in its area and others it has conquered. It is not a member of the Alliance of Worlds, but rumors are that the two powers are in discussions for joining.

Trill: The existence of the symbionts is not widely-known and is still kept as a close secret by the Trill people.
