The Dominion War was a conflict fought between 2373 and 2375. The Dominion was a major political power in the Gamma Quadrant, who allied with the Cardassian Union (and later, the Breen) in an effort to "bring order" to the Alpha Quadrant. The Federation and the Klingon Empire, along with the Romulan Star Empire, formed an alliance to repel these forces.

[edit] History

[edit] Prelude

The massive Dominion buildup in Cardassian space began in mid-2373. Within a few weeks, the Jem'Hadar had forced the Klingons out of Cardassian space and eliminated the Maquis. (DS9 episodes: "In Purgatory's Shadow", "By Inferno's Light", "Blaze of Glory")

The Federation's Deep Space 9 space station located in the Bajor sector served as a major staging point for many battles during the war.

[edit] Aftermath

Both sides suffered heavy loses in the war. Following the conflict the Federation's resources were spread thin not just in reconstruction of member worlds but also in aiding independent worlds affected by the war (seeking new allies and members in the process) and even aiding enemy worlds from the war, providing substantial assistance to help Cardassia recover from the final attacks from the Dominion. (DS9 novel: Avatar)
