When the MU was last shown on DS9, the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance was still locked in war with the Terran Rebellion, but there's no indication of what really happens after this. The Bajoran wormhole has been discovered, so the Alliance has to come in contact with the Dominion at some point, what will happen then? And then there's that massive supernova that destroys Romulus in 2387 and goes on to threaten the galaxy; I should imagine that would cause a considerable amount of chaos and destruction. All in all, the outlook doesn't look too promising for the MU.
Future of the Mirror Universe
- Thread starter EJA
- Start date
The novels are doing a fairly good job of it:
Bajor has left, or is in the process of leaving, the Alliance. This will probably lead to a major breakup, as it was the Bajorans who facilitated the coming together of Klingons and Cardassians in the first place. Also, Spock's underground 'Memory Omega' sleeper agents are poised to strike. And in the MU, Romulus has *already* been destroyed...by the Alliance itself, ironically...and the surviving Romulans have all joined the Terran Rebellion.
Maybe the MU Rommies manage to fix the supernova problem? That would be ironic. Would it be because MU Spock is a bad-ass and doesn't dither around and let Romulus go kaboom? Maybe if he did something sufficiently ruthless and devious, the whole thing could have been avoided.
I've got the impression from the novels that the Rebellion is slowly winning the war.
I have to wonder what will happen to the Cardassians in the Mirror Universe, though. At the moment, 800 million Cardassians in the Mirror Universe are alive whose regular universe counterparts are dead, and things in the Mirror Universe have a tendency to "mirror" things in the regular universe. Cardassians seem to have a rotten choice of allies in both universes, and I often got the impression that the Alliance is dominated by Klingons.

That's a bit much.
Apart from "Mirror, Mirror" and "Crossover", I would agree, at least TV-wise. The MU novels have been great, though.

I enjoyed the Enterprise MU episodes.
Plus a TOS Constitution class kicking some booty!

By 2387 MU Spock has been dead for close to a century.
Pretty much. They are a guilty pleasure I suppose.
Actually, it's amazing how often it's been copied in other stories and tv shows. It's almost a parody of itself. And yet, the entire TOS without wouldn't be the same.
You mean his plan of making slaves of all Terran's?

That wasn't his final goal. It was only a means to an end. Spock reasoned that MU humans needed to know what it was like to be enslaved in order to prevent the Terran Empire from ever rising again. So now that they've endured that, they can be truly free - and destroy the Klingon/Cardassian Alliance, which was worse than the Empire, along the way.
Spock's ultimate plan was summed up in the last thing he ever said before being executed: "The end of my empire will mean the end of all of yours."

I hope those books continue, I'm very interested to see how Spock's plan plays out.
Romulus what, how, when?!
What are the other powers in the Mirror Universe doing, and how are they different?
I think a larger question is how will the MU counterparts of the Dominion and Borg develop?
