The Hideki-class was a small Cardassian patrol ship used for border patrols and interceptions, and later fielded in large numbers as a fighter during the Dominion War.
In Tribunal, a Hideki-class patrol ship intercepted the runabout carrying Miles O'Brien and his wife Keiko on holiday, leading to O'Brien's arrest and his show trial on Cardassia. During the Dominion War, swarms of Hideki-class ships flew alongside Jem'Hadar attack ships and Galor-class warships in major fleet actions.
