And third... the Dominion gets their first mention here. A stroke of genius to plant the seed of the Dominion in a Ferengi episode.

...to give the Koma Tath a new mission." said Cen.
"The Koma Tath is supposed to hunt down Cardassian war criminals. and expanded to the Dominion and the Breen. They might go after Federation, Klingon and Romulan war criminals." said Sanders.
"I cannot speak for the Klingon or the Romulans...
I don't agree. There are rules for the conduct of war, beyond not starting one. Not targeting civilians or medical units, taking enemies who have surrendered as prisoners, treating prisoners humanely.
...how different the events of TNG and DS9 would be if you swapped Picard and Sisko. I think it's a given that "In the Pale Moonlight" would have progressed very differently, and possibly disastrously for the Federation. DS9 during the Dominion War needed a captain willing to get their hands dirty.
Necheyev's definitely not a badmiral, unless someone's defining it as 'any admiral who isn't entirely on the same page as Picard'. It wasn't too hard to buy the fact that she'd sign a treaty handing DS9 over to the Dominion in The Search, but that wasn't really her.
...hold.
If Starfleet had not had the mindset of tactics and shipbuilding and ship design already in place by the time the war started, the Dominion would have likely won very early in the war. Likely before the minefield was taken down, and most certainly before the Romulans came into the...
Section 31's actions in infecting the Dominion leadership would have (probably) still have happened, they still would have been dying. And the only thing that would have saved the Founders was surrender. The Dominion might have grabbed more territory yes, but they still would of had no choice...
...capabilities. They designed the Defiant, the first dedicated warship by Starfleet that we know of.
If Wolf 359 never happened, the Dominion War would likely have turned out even worse for the Federation... with a likely scenario of losing. Wolf 359 made Starfleet change their ship designs...
Yeah, he did somewhat popularise it post-Sandman, and of course he did Anansi Boys (after Lenny Henry was part of Neverwhere TV production — but there are rumours that Neverwhere itself was someone else project that the Beeb ripped off and slid onto Lenny and Gaiman plate) but the form was...
At the risk of bringing problematic people into another thread, there was more than a hint of Gaiman here (I appreciate he doesn't have dominion over all stories about gods and tricksters)
A person or nation who starts a war is never moral or ethical.
If you are on the defence then everything is fair game.
The Dominion and cardassisns were always in the wrong as they started the war. The Federation was on the defence. To survive anything is justifiable.

...he was checking his eyelids for holes. And not in the middle of the street, Nog was wrong this guy is the only one not afraid of the Dominion.
Clearly battery powered lights and radios and such are just not popular anymore. Perhaps the hubris of paradise, the power will never go out why...
