Great Link

Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek content.

The Great Link was the intermingling of many Changelings in liquid form that ruled over the Dominion. (DS9 episode: "The Search")

Following the Dominion War the Link was unpeaceful as it considered reports each changeling had bought back of their massive defeat and consequences it continued to have in Dominion territory. The Link was also unsettled by ideas the changeling Odo had brought back with him of not ruling with an iron fist and greater respect for solids. Despites Odo's arguments the Link persisted in quelling rebellion with the Jem'Hadar. Laas was used by the Link as a singular mouthpiece to communicate their intent to Odo.

Despite Odo's initiative,to send a Jem'Hadar envoy to the Alpha Quadrant to further good relations, the Link feared an attack by the Alpha Quadrant powers in retaliation for the war. (DS9 novel: Avatar)
