If there were a 2nd Dominion War

Would SF hold back on using their Voyager super weapons or end it before it really gets crankin?
 
We (the Dominion) would take you out!!!!!

In the books:
When they thought there'd be a second Dominion war, they just sent a fleet to DS9 just in case. No super weapons...
I think SF would protect the Federation... and try not to compromise their values so often... maybe.

Well, that occurred well before Voyager got back and the OP is asking about post 2377/8 when Voyager gets home.

If Sisko were still in the wormhole at the time he would try to convince the Prophets to again not let vast waves of Dominion ships into the Alpha Quadrant. The Dominion itself might have a few questions about waging a war on the Federation when their one and only link to the Fed's region is unreliable.

Though if a war did start I don't see why the Federation wouldn't use its bat armour or transphasic torpedoes against the Dominion. Transphasics would be a waste against the small attack ships since it take around four torpedoes or half a dozen pulse phaser blast to destroy them. They would be far more useful in wasting the larger warships since one or two popped a Borg cube like a balloon. I doubt that these weapons would end the war before it gets cranking.

I know we see transphasic torps in the newer novels but have they done anything with the bat armour?

Oh yeah... *shakes fist at numbers*

Hmm... they might to the Fed thing and not use any of it though. Cloaks etc... being the Federation. :rolleyes:
They should work on some battle cruisers... really really big ones. With phase technology and... transphasic torpedoes... and such.

I don't think the Dominion is the first threat... but due to sheer numbers, I'm not sure it would work... hmmm...
 
how come those torpedoes haven't been taken away by the SF from the future, temporal directive and all that? The whole Voyager ending is BS imo, bunch of deux ex machina's woudn't have happened if you take previous series into consideration

I like this. I like this a lot. And future Janeway? Executed.
 
The Milky Way's Great War was much more than enough:eek:

We don't need Galactic War II:brickwall:
Ya! our WORLD WAR was bad enough we didn't need WORLD WAR 2! But we got one anyway ( Things just happen) I'm sure the further you go in to the future of trek there will be another Galactic war!
 
I would hope they would go on the offensive if that happened again. There's no need to take it a second time around.

Agreed :vulcan: I dought the FEERATION or even the entire ALPHA quadrent would survive A second war thou! Unless they fast track that FUTURE tech VOYAGER brought back from the future!

The Dominion war was hardly a galactic war. It was fought in one specific region by a few fair sized military powers. The vast bulk of the galaxy and its population were untouched (and unknowing) of the war. The novels use Quadrant War as the term people on the Gamma Quadrant side of the wormhole use when referencing the war.
 
Was there ever a novel that answered why the Dominion simply didn't use Kronoton radiation against the wormhole? You'd think they would have been able to figure that out sooner or later.

No, but if you take what Weyoun said in Tears of the Prophets when he dismissed the Prophet's and their power as superstitious nonsense then it can be suggested that the Vorta dismissed the Wormhole aliens as a threat/issue.

It has to be said that we don't know that chronoton radiation would have worked. All we know is that it can drive/expel a wormhole alien from a host body. That Pah'Wraith that took over Keiko thought it would work but if it was that simple you would think they would have tried more then once. Also if it did work we don't know what would happen to the wormhole. If the Prophets were to all die would it still exist or is its function as a wormhole purely based on their existance? We can't be sure and either could the Dominion.

Best bet would be to not do anything to anger them, treat their favoured world and even the son of their favoured being (Ben Sisko) with respect and that way the Prophets would probably stay on the sidelines. Also given the previous attempt on the wormhole and what happened in the reckoning maybe the wormhole aliens would have noticed another attempt and simply sealed the wormhole themselve since that is well within their power.
 
^^^I don't think it can be referred to as a Quadrant War. The Dominion is a Gamma Quadrant power, and the Romulans and Klingons are largely Beta.

In the first Voyager Relaunch novel they were taken away.

In the Destiny trilogy the Torpedoes were reactivated and redistributed to Starfleet ships.

Not sure if it is used anywhere else but in Rising Son, Dez calls the Dominion War, "the Quadrant War."

:eek:

First I call this Dominion War the Milky Way's Great War, aka: think Galactic War I! :)

Some DS9er comes along saying it was a Quadrant War:wtf:

So I then re-reply calling the Feds war with the Dough Boys the Quadrant's Great War AKA: Quadrant War I:angryrazz:

Now, another DS9er comes along pointing out how the Rommies & Space Cavemen are largely β Quadrant powers. No feces Sherl:vulcan:ck:mad:!

We all know the Dough Boys are THE Γ Quadrant Power! Only heard it 70,000X on DS9! & that The Wormhole connects to the γ quadrant 70,000 ly away:rolleyes:

N:mad:w what Mr(s) Fan:confused:

Was the Fed/Dough Boy War a Quadrant, Bi-quad, Tri-quad or Galactic War?:brickwall:

Make up your effing minds already people:scream::mad::brickwall:

G-zis effing Cry-Ist:censored:

Not only that but they (torpedoes) were shared with the Klingons and possibly one of the Romulan states. The Borg adapted eventually but what about Starfleet, etc, would the torpedoes be just as devastating against them as they were initially against the Borg? Or does Starfleet know how to stop them from easily penetrating their shields?
