Akleen founded the Union on the principle of service to the state being the most important aspect of Cardassian life. (DS9 novel: Fearful Symmetry)

In 2374, Elim Garak suggested that the Federation Alliance should attack Ventani II, Akleen's planet of birth. It was ruled out as a target as it had little strategic value and the Jem'Hadar did not consider it sacred like the Cardassians did. (DS9 episode: "Tears of the Prophets")

In 2376, the Cardassian people voted in a competition between the Directorate, the Reunion Project and other political parties on Cardassia on the anniversary of Akleen's founding of the Union. (DS9 novel: A Stitch in Time)
