The Dominion War mega-event I'd love to see

[FF] Vice Admiral Nairne

"The Clear Light of Day" mega-event

When deeds are done in the pale moonlight, they may escape even watchful eyes. But there's always a reckoning, in the clear light of day...

Recurring 5* crew: Patriot Sisko (CMD, SEC, DIP)

Recurring minor bonus: All crew with "Dominion" trait

Event 1: Baying Wolves

Senator Vreenak has returned from the dead, with the message that the Federation tricked Romulus into the Dominion War. Unless the anger of the Romulans can be assuaged, the Alpha Quadrant may plunge once again into conflict.

• Event type: Faction (Federation, Romulans, Section 31)
• 5* crew: Admiral Nechayev (existing; CMD, DIP, SEC)
• 4* rank: Section 31 Bashir (new; MED, SEC, DIP)
• 4* threshold: Senator Vreenak (new; DIP, CMD, SCI)

Players must choose between missions focused on overt diplomacy with Romulus (Federation), backroom assessment of the movers and shakers within the Empire (Section 31) and getting out Vreenak's message of truth (Romulan).

Event 2: Manning the Ramparts

With the Romulans debating internally, disaster has been delayed, but not averted. Ensure the Federation is prepared in the event of war.

• Event type: Galaxy
• 5* crew: Ba'ku Beverly Crusher (new; MED, SEC, CMD)
• 4* rank: Weyoun Clone 6 (new; DIP, SCI, CMD)
• 4* threshold: Chief O'Brien (existing; ENG, SEC, CMD)

Players must craft items that increase the Federation's medical facilities (in the event of casualties), retrofit and otherwise upgrade their starships, and provide the stores and equipment necessary for combat.

Event 3: Truth's Freedom

As the quadrant tips ever closer to war, an old enemy reveals that Dominion plans once fabricated by the Federation actually existed - and might yet be recovered.

• Event type: Faction/Expedition Hybrid
• 5* crew: First Omet'iklan (new; SEC, CMD, SCI)
• 4* rank: Minefield Damar (new; ENG, SEC, CMD)
• 4* threshold: Civil War Tuvok (new; SEC, SCI, CMD)

With the aid of Damar, whose loathing of the Dominion has never abated, players must locate and recover secret Dominion plans for the invasion of Romulus. They'll need to overcome Omet'iklan, the Jem'hadar entrusted with keeping those plans safe.

Event 4: Dousing the Flames

Even as one-time combatants prepare again for war, a final peace conference offers hope that the embers of the Dominion War can be snuffed out, rather than setting the galaxy alight once more.

• Event type: Faction/Galaxy Hybrid
• 5* crew: Eris (new; SCI, DIP, SEC)
• 4* rank: C.O.P. Founder Archer (existing; DIP, CMD)
• 4* threshold: Commander Toreth (new; CMD, DIP, SEC)

Jonathan Archer once brought the founders of the Federation together and forged a lasting bond. He hopes to do it once again, but this time with high-level representatives of the Dominion and the Romulan Star Empire. Aid him in his quest for peace.

*applause*

This is amazing, I love the concept, the characters, everything.

Here's hoping that one day we get a Dominion Mega that's even half as fantastic as this.

Masterfully done. +1000

Looking at this, I realize I forgot to work out the rank 3* and threshold 2* crew. I'd suggest:

• Event 1: new 2* Luaran, existing 3* Racquetball Bashir
• Event 2: existing 2* CMO Crusher, existing 3* Mirror 'Smiley' O'Brien
• Event 3: existing 2* Glinn Damar, existing 3* Security Chief Tuvok
• Event 4: existing 2* Away Team Archer, existing 3* Keevan

They'd only need to come up with a single new cadet crew, and as an alien woman Luaran would be potentially interesting for a bunch of cadet challenges anyway.

Edit to add: and I guess in a pinch they could use existing 2* Telek R'Mor in the first event; I'd just rather see a Dominion crew there.

Vreenak is my fav part of this btw

I'd want the event to start with him appearing on the screen, all zoomed up, with audio of "IT'S FAKE!"

Basically your avatar lol

Yeah. I looked at Changeling Martok and Changeling Krajensky and Changeling Lovok - I really tried to make Lovok, my favourite of the three, fit - but the problem was that I wanted to work a 5* Vorta and 5* Jem'hadar and some non-DS9 crew into the mega-event, too.

The first two parts of the story don't really have a changeling slot that makes sense. The third part could sacrifice Omet'iklan for Martok or Lovok pretty easily, but I thought it was important to bring one 5* Jem'hadar into the game. It would be easy enough to swap out Eris for a changeling in the fourth event, but I wanted someone I could give a SCI primary (again, a slight stretch, but not a ridiculous one).

Though, now that I think about it, instead of Weyoun 6 in the second event, I could substitute any of the above 4* changelings, with the idea being that the Dominion is helping the Federation prepare for the Romulans (when in reality, they just want to keep an eye on those preparations). I think that's probably an improvement!

Very excellent work. I don't think ba'ku crusher is very distinctive, but not a bad choice per se. Changling Bashir could be used as an existing 4* event 3 instead of the ones proposed possibly.

This is fantastic 😊.
