History and specifics[]
Squadron of Inquiry-class starships led by the USS Zheng He in 2399.
In 2323, five years after formal first contact between the Cardassian Union and the Third Republic of Bajor, the Second Oder of Cardassian Central Command offered the Chamber of Ministers on Bajor to station a squadron of cruisers in Bajoran space due to the threat posed by piracy and the expansionist Tzenkethi Coalition. Minister Kubus Oak announced that in the Chamber. When Kalem Apren inquired how many vessels a Cardassian squadron involved, Jaro Essa of the Bajoran Militia explained a standard Cardassian deployment consisted of 6-8 starships plus support vessels. (TLE - Terok Nor novel: Day of the Vipers)
In 2399, 1st Devron Heavy Response Squadron, under the command of Captain William T. Riker aboard the USS Zheng He, was the first large-scale deployment of Inquiry-class starships. The squadron stared down a Romulan Zhat Vash fleet at Coppelius in the Ghulion star system. (Star Trek Adventures module: Utopia Planitia Sourcebook)
