...then send one of theirs to the morgue. ' If you and them are totally pacifists...then no problem. But surrender will bring even worse problems. The Dominion HAD to be stopped. Period. This is what they were designed for. The Cardasians HAD to be stopped. Not to do so would have been worse...

...No dishonorable retreat. ;) The Romulans also have an interesting weapon in SFC3, the mytotronic beam, which they developed from salvaged Dominion technology. It's not so much a traditional weapon but more of one that stuns existing weapons, kind of like how ion cannons in the Star Wars...

...Space ... the final frontier. These are the voyages of 98 infant changelings. Their centuries long mission....to explore strange new worlds. To seek out and map new life and new civilizations, and prepare them for Dominion overlordship. To help the Dominion create order where no order was before.

...to defend itself and survive an engagement if it gets into one, but it was not designed to fight wars. That it can do so admirably in the Dominion War is a testament to Starfleet learning lessons and implementing changes. But as we saw, the coolant system on at least the USS Enterprise...

...they haven't done so at a pace equal to that of the Federation, in those thousands of years in their past, or they would've been far more advanced by now. Either because it simply wasn't necessary, or because the autocratic structure of the Dominion still somehow stifles the pace of innovation.

...original approach to the Galaxy class. With that in mind, the World Razor should win in a fight. Later updates to the Galaxy class (such as refits for the Dominion War) could pose more of a challenge, but even then, the GCS is still fundamentally not built as a warship, the World Razor is.

Well, like all fanfic, that sounds horrible.

The Dominion will continue to improve as well. They are big enough to send a large expeditionary force and still carry out a large R&D effort.

Yes, the Dominion still enjoys a number of significant advantages, those long transporter beams being one of them, their superior shipbuilding (and soldier-producing) speeds another one. But the Federation may make up for their (dis)advantages in those fields over time, too.

That super long range transporter they've got would be handy.

...close (but still beyond detection range) to Federation territory and build your modern fleet there. Even so, the question is whether the Dominion can keep up with the pace of Federation technology development. They're either 2,000 or 10,000 years old (depending on who you believe) , but...

The Dominion can bring what they need for shipyards and cloning facilities and build or clone according to the newest technology when they get close to Federation space.

...those ships would be 80 years out of date when arriving at their target. And we've seen how quickly the Federation was advancing during the Dominion War - from impenetrable Dominion shields and Jem'Hadar fighters that destroyed a Galaxy to the Defiant slicing through those very same fighters...

The entire world is facing the same issue. The entire Western Military aparatus doesn't have enough ships compared to China right now. it's a huge problem.

...in at least scouting for a location (likely isolated as well as without life to be destroyed or contaminate the project). Which proved to be a really bad idea given the Borg and Dominion threats later discovered that Starfleet was unprepared for. Japan is facing the same issue with Red China.

They worked together briefly during the Dominion War, IIRC. Tal-Shiar & Obsidian Order. Lend-lease program? :)

One of them took a convenient wormhole back in time and determined that the best way to ensure a Dominion victory was to completely ruin the Federation's world of origin before it could be created. He managed to subjugate one political party yo his will, and the other was unable to produce a...

...benevolent goverment, freedom of expression, the rule of law, and the member planets being able to choose their own course to be good little Dominion subjects. The Federation would either break free or be treated extremely harshly. Yes, in the Dominion War the Federation only defeated a...

Maybe after a new Federation President is elected on a platform promising to Make the Federation Great Again. The results wouldn’t be good.

...impossible in itself), the mindset of average Federation citizens probably still would cause problems and conflicts. On the other hand, the Dominion doesn't necessarily treat subject worlds that don't stir up trouble badly. The Karemma for example were largely left to their own, it seems...
