...of Admiral William Ross’s office on Starbase 375 seemed designed to strip away any illusion of comfort, reflecting the grim reality of the Dominion War. Verek Thorne, fresh from his promotion ceremony, stood stiffly at attention, the new Captain’s pips feeling heavier than they looked...

Q rented the hall and engaged the orchestra to get them ready for the Dominion ;)

I'd say that's pretty much inevitable.

Hmmm... interesting. Would some of that distrust and paranoia have lingered in Federation society even after the Dominion War was over?

...in mutual trust and cooperation. When you can't trust that the person you're talking to is actually that person you disrupt the society in a much different way. As SF DEBRIS puts it, "With the Borg they might turn your friends against you. With the Dominion, you don't know if they already have".

So, what made the Dominion so particularly damaging, then, in your view? What was this heart they struck at (and the Borg didn't)?

...I doubt the Federation would've survived, had Earth been assimilated in BOBW. I would think in a simpler direction. The Borg just made two isolated (quite possibly even half hearted) attempts (three if you count Regeneration). The Dominion made a concerted war effort over months or even years.

Because the threat was one that struck at the very heart of Federation society.

...get home. Once home, Starfleet could do real research and testing. If they could fit a few Intrepid class ships that could just reach the Dominion strike and run back before the Dominion could even respond would be a game changer. No wormhole bottle neck. Just in and out. I don't remember...

It's called "Field Expediency," it's written by Dayton Ward & Kevin Dilmore, and it focuses on Duffy and Stevens.

In a sense, the Borg got Starfleet better prepared for something like the Dominion.

The Borg, ultimately, did far less damage than the Dominion.

...Do you think that is the case? From all Star Trek civilizations, I think only Bajorans and Klingons are confirm to be spiritual, well, and Dominion, in a way (Cardassians were once, but not anymore and Vulcans are… a particular example, as they don;t seem to believe in any deities but they...

Currently reading Revenant! About half way through, loving it so far. Also started on the first of the Dominion War Books.

...Raw numbers aside, I think the third season pushed DS9 forward in all areas but with only one drawback, which I'll get to later. With the Dominion being a force in the Gamma Quadrant, it gives us something tangible, so we have some sense of the order over there. The Ferengi are people the...

...really make it feel more like the TV series, compared to the full length novels who bigger stories felt more like a movies or season long arcs. There's also an SCE story tales of the Dominion War, but it's been a while since I read it, so I can't remember exactly which characters it was about.

I agree (about straying from the original topic). I don't really see how the Federation could be convinced to join the Dominion peacefully though, given their fundamentally different values. Then again, The Search was brought up by @Citiprime, and apparently that simulation was realistic...

...their respective series, they tended to move pretty steadily forward from season to season, although the DS9 novels got kind of stuck pre-Dominion War for a few years because of the difficulty of fitting novels into the increasingly serialized continuity of the show. If they ever went...

I'd go so far as to say they would be kept alive and "free" so that they could be watched *very closely* in case Mon ever attempts to make contact. Leida especially, since the ISB are well aware that there's little love lost between husband and wife. They're much more valuable as bait than as...

A teaser for a new series I'm working on. Its set during the Dominion war onboard the Defiant class USS Maverick. Stardate: 51149.5 (February 24, 2374. 13:37 Federation Standard Starship Time) USS Maverick NCC-74286 docked with Starbase 375 United Federation Of Planets Thorne’s arrival on the...
