Rantok was a 24th century Cardassian man who earned the rank of legate in the Cardassian Guard.

Biography[]

For his long service, Rantok was considered to be a legend by the Cardassian people and was honored with a large statue on the Veteran's Bridge in Cardassia City.

In order to bring a region on the planet Bajor under control during the early phase of the Occupation of Bajor, Rantok laid siege to a city for around six months. The Bajorans held valiantly for around four months, until Rantok's troops captured a nearby dam and cut off the water supply. The residents held out for eight more weeks before they surrendered, bringing the region under total Cardassian control. (DS9 - Prophecy and Change short story: "Face Value")

In 2374, during the Dominion War, Rantok was stationed on Ogyas III. After Cardassia switched sides, the Jem'Hadar were ordered to kill all Cardassians. Rantok was a casualty of the purge. (DS9 novel: The Never-Ending Sacrifice)

Corat Damar viewed the statue of Rantok in 2375. The metal of the plaque had tarnished and the stone around it had weakened. (DS9 - Prophecy and Change short story: "Face Value")
