	While some Dominion technology was in many ways more advanced than that of the Federation, one Vorta lamented that Starfleet engineers were famed for being able to "turn rocks into replicators". At least some Dominion technology was manufactured by Dominion member species, it is known for example, that at least one type of torpedo carried onboard Jem'Hadar attack vessels was sold to the Dominion by the Karemma, a Dominion member. The Jem'Hadar did however, seem capable of performing not only some minor and emergency repairs but also understanding complex engineering on even Starfleet vessels.

-	~~NPC Overseer~~, ~~currently not played~~.	+	"''The Dominion has endured for over two thousand years, and will continue to endure long after the Federation has crumbled into dust.''"
		+	:- '''Weyoun 4''', (2372)

-	~~{{seealso}}~~	+	The '''Dominion''' was a major galactic political power, whose influence was exerted over thousands of planets in the [[Gamma Quadrant]]. By the year 2372, the Dominion had existed for somewhere between two to ten thousand years. The Dominion was created by the Changeling's, a species of shapeshifter's native to a rogue planet within the Omarion Nebula, who referred to themselves as "the [[Founder]]s."
-	*[[~~NPC~~]]	+
-	[[Category: ~~NPCs~~]]	+	== Government ==
		+	Absolute rule of the Dominion remained in the hands of the Founders and their Great Link, whose decisions could not be disputed under any circumstances. However, the Founders were largely content to leave the administration of the Dominion's daily affairs to the Vorta. The loyalty of the Vorta and the Jem'Hadar is genetically-engineered, which in most cases ensured absolute obedience to the Founders. The Founders themselves were rarely seen, even by their servant races, and were treated as gods or myth. Due to such a social standing within the Dominion, most of what the Dominion's member races carry out are often for the glory of the Founders, or to please them in some way, similar to how religious figures would pray or carry out an action to please their god(s).
		+
		+	A Dominion political strategy frequently used is to not use its military might during initial contacts, but rather, to take over via influence and espionage. While Jem'Hadar fighters destroyed the USS Odyssey as a show of force, the Dominion used its vast influential and espionage tactics to destabilize the [[Alpha Quadrant]]. For example, the Dominion precipitated a war between the [[Cardassian Union]] and the [[Klingon Empire]], and then struck an alliance with the Cardassian Union, knowing full well they would accept due to their dire state, so as to gain support and a foothold in the Alpha Quadrant before deploying its military power.
		+
		+	== Language ==
		+	Dominionese was at least one common language used by the Dominion. It is unknown if the Dominion member races maintained or used race-specific or planet-specific tongues. The Dominion also have a written language, as shown when the Female Changeling signs the Treaty of Bajor ending the Dominion War.
		+
		+	== Economy ==
		+	Little is known about the Dominion's economy; it is however presumed to have a massive one considering the size of its territory. The Karemma have been known to be involved in commerce, but the extent to which their activities affect the economy as a whole is a mystery. Presumably, the commodities required to build and maintain the Dominion's gargantuan shipbuilding and cloning operations are sourced from subjugate planets and shuffled as necessary, with shortfalls addressed by Jem'Hadar shock troops.
		+
		+	== Members ==
		+	[[File:Female Changeling.jpg\|thumb\|A Female Changeling, one of the Founders of the Dominion]]
		+	[[File:Kudaketan.jpg\|thumb\|Kudak'etan, a Jem'Hadar - the Dominion's main fighting force]]
		+	The Dominion comprises of several "member races", as the Founders claim to control the destinies of hundreds of species.
		+
		+	The Dominion was founded on the principle of control, with the intent being to neutralize any potential threat to the Founders by whatever means necessary. In cases involving cooperative species such as the Karemma, the extent of Dominion interference is fairly minimal and restricted to material support. However, if the target species is or becomes less cooperative, the Jem'Hadar are dispatched to wipe out any opposition. The fear of massive Jem'Hadar reprisals is enough to keep most planets in line. For a prospective member, at first contact the Dominion may appear helpful, or even benevolent. A typical Dominion strategy is to make concessions in the short term for an advantage in the longer term, which may be centuries in advance.
		+
		+	The more notable member races include:
		+	*[[Breen]] (2375)
		+	*[[Cardassian]]s (2373-2375)
		+	*[[Dosi]]
		+	*[[Jem'Hadar]] (military servant race)
		+	*[[Karemma]]
		+	*[[T-Rogoran]]s (conquered 2370)
		+	*[[Vorta]] (servant race)
		+	*[[Yaderan]]s (conquered 2340)
		+	*[[Son'a]] (allied 2375)
		+
		+	== Technology ==
		+	[[File:Jem'Hadar fighter, profile.jpg\|thumb\|left\|A typical Jem'Hadar attack ship armed with the phased polaron beam]]
		+	By the time of the Dominion War, Dominion technology appeared to have significantly outpaced that of most Alpha Quadrant species.
		+
		+	Instead of phased energy or disruptor beams, Jem'Hadar rifles emitted powerful polaron beams which had the side-effect of acting as an anticoagulant in some humanoids, thereby impeding the natural wound-healing process.
		+
		+	Similarly, [[:Category:Dominion Ships\|Dominion]] warships displayed more impressive firepower than their Alpha Quadrant counterparts. Phased polaron beams were mounted on all Jem'Hadar attack ships. These initially cut through Federation shielding without effort; however, the DS9 crew subsequently managed to adapt their shields to withstand Dominion weapons for short periods. The Breen also wielded a huge advantage on the battlefield with an energy energy dissipating weapon capable of disabling Federation and Romulan vessels with a single shot. Effective countermeasures were eventually developed by Starfleet engineers.
		+
		+	Dominion transporters utilized transponders which enabled them to transport individuals across distances as far as three light years.
		+
		+	Dominion warp capability is less advanced when compared to most major Alpha Quadrant species. A Dominion fighter was capable of at least warp 7 and a battle cruiser was capable of at least warp 4.7.
		+
		+	While some Dominion technology was in many ways more advanced than that of the Federation, one Vorta lamented that Starfleet engineers were famed for being able to "turn rocks into replicators". At least some Dominion technology was manufactured by Dominion member species, it is known for example, that at least one type of torpedo carried onboard Jem'Hadar attack vessels was sold to the Dominion by the Karemma, a Dominion member. The Jem'Hadar did however, seem capable of performing not only some minor and emergency repairs but also understanding complex engineering on even Starfleet vessels.
