[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] Well, considering that by the time we saw DS9 again in that alternate timeline, it had already been fifty years -- so of [i]course[/i] the station was going to look pretty run-down! It seems to me that also, in part, the Federation lost a lot of its nerve since Sisko wasn't on the front lines pushing for some action or other -- why else would [i]just Sisko's absence[/i] cause the station to be handed over to the Klingons? I think that, despite the changes, as far as the Dominion was concerned it was a less radical road. Although the UFP and KE were probably fighting each other, it seems that neither of them would ever choose to join the Dominion voluntarily. Neither would the Romulans. The Cardassians certainly would've, but only at the instigation of an idiot like Dukat. It seems to me that the Founders probably realized that they couldn't take the entire Alpha Quadrant by force. Storming through the wormhole to capture DS9 would leave them with a beachhead, and a clear supply line to bring in more troops and ships, but it would be one that would be difficult to defend, and their entire war effort would rely on the wormhole. The way it turned out in the "actual" show, they gained the Cardassian territories as a solid production base from which to launch a more widespread assault. So, without Dukat, the Dominion would never have gotten any chance of a foothold, and so eventually settled for a stalemate once they realized they could keep the chaotic Solids on the far side, busy among themselves.
