Cardassians

The Cardassians are an aggressive species bordering Federation space. For the last 70 years, they have occupied Bajor (where the wormhole in Deep Space Nine is found) and systematically pillaged the entire planet, while the Federation stood by. The Federation finally gets involved in a war with the Cardassians a few years before TNG starts, and this war has only recently finished. The Federation and Cardassian Empire have signed a peace treaty that involves both sides handing over inhabited planets to the other, to form a de-militiarised zone similar to the Romulan neutral zone.

This sets the scene for the the Maquis a group of Federation citizens from the disputed worlds who refuse to abandon their homes, form a terrorist organisation and start attacking the Cardassian Empire.

Inevitably, the Cardassians are a major force in Deep Space Nine, but we meet them and the Bajorans first in TNG, including their capture and harrowing torture of Picard in Chain of Command.
