The Ravinok was a Cardassian prison transport that was in service with the Cardassian military in the mid-24th century. Ravinok was under the general command of Dukat, and was partially composed of a uridium alloy. In 2366, the Ravinok and its crew of eighteen were assigned to transport 32 Bajoran prisoners to a labor camp. En route, it was scheduled to rendezvous with a freighter, bound for Lissepia, to transport two civilians that were also aboard the ship, Tora Naprem and Tora Ziyal. According to the script for the episode, the pronunciation for Ravinok was "RAV-ih-nok". [1]
