- "The Dominion will no longer stand by as ships from your side violate our territory." - Jem'hadar Third to the crew of Deep Space 9.
The War
Tensions between the Federation and the Dominion only escalated due to the constant convoys emerging from the Wormhole that headed towards Cardassian space. This saw large movements of ships and troops heading to Cardassia whilst diplomatic agreements were made with Alpha Quadrant powers. Through this means, the Dominion managed to secure non-aggression pacts with the Romulans, Tholians and Miradorn. Not all these in-roads into the Alpha Quadrant were successful as an attempt to bring a similar treaty to Bajor failed. However, the growing number of treaties ultimately saw Captain Benjamin Sisko campaign for a blockade of the Wormhole in order to stop the growing Dominion forces in the Alpha Quadrant in an effort to secure the peace. This saw the deployment of a self-replicating cloaked mine grid at the Bajoran Wormhole which drew a near immediate response from the Dominion. The Vorta Weyoun initially attempted to threaten Starfleet with force but attempted to trick them with peaceful overtures. These were only a ruse as the Dominion gathered their forces for a strike against Deep Space 9. In order to protect Bajor, Benjamin Sisko who was the Emissary of the Prophets convinced the Bajorans to accept the Dominion non-aggression pact. This saw only a mock attempt at the Bajoran Militia protesting Starfleet's presence at Deep Space 9 whilst the station prepared itself for the Dominion armada. This fleet was led by Gul Dukat and Weyoun who engaged the station only to discover it prepared for the advanced Dominion technology where they inflicted heavy casualties on the invaders. As a result, Dominion reserves were brought around Bajor in order to force Starfleet to depart but not before the station itself was sabotaged. Whilst the Dominion were delayed at Deep Space 9, a joint Starfleet-Klingon task force entered into Cardassian space and destroyed the shipyards at Torres III. Thus, whilst the Dominion had secured a victory at Bajor, it proved to be a costly one as they had lost fifty ships and one of their shipyards.
