HistoryEdit

Dominion WarEdit

During the war, the Female Changeling (posing as a Marmosan Objective Witness named Anchet Mariole) visited the mining planet of Bleak Prime, where the administrating Vorta were exhibiting a peculiar degree of free will. She was ultimately forced to kill all the Vorta on the planet when they attacked her, and killed a Vulcan woman, Bicek, who had been aiding her investigation. After returning Bicek's remains to Vulcan (while posing as Bicek herself), the Female Changeling returned to the Link to recommend Bleak Prime be abandoned. (DS9 - Strange New Worlds II short story: "Change of Heart")

At the conclusion of the Dominion War, the Female Changeling signed a peace treaty, and turned herself over to Federation authorities as a prisoner. (DS9 episode: "What You Leave Behind")

The Female Changeling was almost assassinated by Reese and Ekoor. Benjamin Sisko managed to pursuade Reese to not carry out his plan. (DS9 short story: "Requital")

The Female Changeling gave Starfleet extensive information on each Dominion facility to enable their decommissioning. (DS9 short story: "Fear, Itself")

She was incarcerated at Ananke Alpha, a maximum security Federation prison. Taran'atar visited her in late 2376. (DS9 - Worlds of Deep Space Nine novel: The Dominion: Olympus Descending)

The Founder's sentencing (for "crimes committed against sentient beings") occurred on stardate 56867.84, after which she was permanently returned to Ananke Alpha. (ST website: The Path to 2409)

By 2409, she had been moved to Facility 4028. In that year, the Dominion was able to negotiate her release, in exchange for helping to remove the Jem'Hadar that had taken over Deep Space 9. During her release, there was a Jem'Hadar attack on the facility, which caused the prisoners to be released. The founder helped subdue her fellow prisoners. (STO mission: "Facility 4028")
