The conclusion of that conflict and significant losses for the Cardassian fleet forced designers to pivot and re-engineer the Exar as an explorer.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Exar<\/em> class is a major undertaking for the Cardassians, with only 28 completed to date. The vessel\u2019s size and capabilities have made it a successful frontier vessel,allowing the exploration and mapping of uninhabited star systems and phenomenon across the Cardassian frontier.<\/p>\n<p>To date, 1 <em>Exar<\/em> Type-3 has been destroyed and 1 Type-1 has been scrapped.
