Until I can figure out how to post the second chapter of my fanfic novel, I thought I'd post a list of terms relevant to the story, kinda like the series bibles that the real shows have. The main problem with writing fanfics is that you never know at any given point when something will happen on the real show that will contradict what you've written. It's also hard just to write the stuff, period. Anyway, here you go.

There are a few references from the real shows, but they only have information pertinent to ST:L. Also, I've purposely left the main character's bios vague so I don't give anything away.

Anti-Emissary, The � individual who, according to Shabren�s Final Prophecy, will take the place of the Emissary and will be responsible for much sorrow in the galaxy

Abraham Lincoln, U.S.S. � Federation starship, Merced class. Max Washington�s first posting after he was freed from his incarceration in a Dominion prison camp. The Lincoln will later be chosen to send an envoy into Dominion territory and will end up missing

Alpha Jem�Hadar � Jem�Hadar soldiers exclusively bred in the Alpha Quadrant during the Dominion War, but were proven to be unstable and prone to disobeying orders. Once the Breen entered the war, production of Alpha Jem�Hadar ceased, and most were left behind in the Alpha Quadrant during the evacuation of Dominion forces after the war. The remaining Alphas claim several sectors of former Cardassian space as their own

Arbas, Ambassador � Dominion ambassador to the Federation. T-Rogoran native. Like most T-Rogorans, Arbas hates the Founders and the Jem�Hadar, but still believes in the Dominion�s policy of conquest

Bashir, Dr. Julian � CMO of Deep Space Nine, developed a vaccine to cure the Founders of the Section 31-created virus

B�Hetrella - Ancient Bajoran term for the known Galaxy, comprising parts of Federation, Klingon, Romulan, and Breen space

Dominion � Major Gamma Quadrant power who fought and lost a war against the combined Alpha Quadrant powers of the Federation, Klingon, and Romulan Empires. Once under the control of the Changeling Founders, they abdicated control in 2377. After this period, the Dominion will be controlled by several of its formerly conquered member races, including the T-Rogorans and the Hovoli. However, it is soon apparent that the T-Rogorans desire to keep the aggressive nature of the former Dominion active

Dominion War � conflict spanning the years 2373 to 2376 involving the combined powers of the Dominion, Cardassian Union, and Breen Confederacy against the combined powers of the Federation, Klingon, and Romulan Empires

Romulan Empire � Alpha Quadrant power. Enemies of the Federation and Klingon Empire until 2376, when Alliance was formed. Government in danger of being overthrown by the Tal Shiar

Section 31 � corrupt Federation covert organization forced to go underground but still very powerful

Shabren � ancient Bajoran prophet who predicted the rise of the Anti-Emissary and the gathering of the Four Guardians to defeat him

Shabren�s Final Prophecy - roughly translated as �Once the Emissary has defeated the Kosst Amojan and become one with the Prophets, an Anti-Emissary will take his place. The only ones who can defeat the Anti-Emissary are the Four Guardians, who will come from the Four Corners of B�Hetrella (known space, i.e. the Alpha Quadrant), and will be brought together by a Harbinger. This will be the Final Path of the Reckoning, for if the Anti-Emissary is defeated, a thousand years of peace will reign.

How do you have a Dominion without the Founders? I can see other races wanting to keep the thing going, but they would have to rebuild all the infrastructure from scratch.

Remember, a lot of the Dominion member races had never even seen the Founders, or even believed that they existed. But as long as the Dominion still has enforcers (whoever they may be), it will still remain in existence.

Shabren's Final Prophecy: Star Trek: Legacy

Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :

Yes, but what I'm saying is that without the Founders you have none of the tools used to keep the Dominion together. No Jem'Hadar. No Vorta.

Why did you demote Nog? He's a JG now.

Well, maybe Duckie doesn't know that, or it's a simple mistake.

Thanks for the input, guys. This is exactly what I need to get this novel running. Please let me know of any other observations you might have.

Shik: You're right, Nog is a Lt. He's actually a Lt. in Chapter One, I just mistyped here. Edit time.

Sol: The Dominion of my fanfic is more of a situation like so: The leaders of an empire no longer rule the empire, and its subjects now find themselves in control. What happens now is the question. Will that empire fall, become even more powerful, change into something completely different, etc? I've made it so that one of the member races decides that IT should be the rightful rulers, although there will be more integration of other races aboard Dominion ships, similar to the Federation.

Shabren's Final Prophecy: Star Trek: Legacy

Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :

I guess what I'm saying is that the Dominion is suitably unlike normal empires to make that extremely difficult. No one in it, as far as we know, is allowed to keep a standing army, for instance. It's all Jem'Hadar, and the Jem'Hadar are not going to switch their allegences. Which means that our would-be heirs to the throne are going to have to create a military out of whole cloth.

Now, that could be done, and other ties between the former Dominion worlds would still exist. But it would take some time.

Posted by Dukhat (Member # 341) on :

I understand what you're saying. Let's just say that the political situation of the Dominion is far from stable, only I don't want to give any of the story away before I even post it here!
