I think that even though DS9 was brilliant there was some things I FELT should have been more explored more

1) The history of Bajor
When was their first contact with Aliens? Who founded the Bajoran religion and how the religion controlled what people did in their ordinary everyday lives. Why was the emmisary so important? Where the orbs that were snatched by the Cardassians ended up? How did the orbs affect the Cardassian people who came into contact with them? Did the ancient Bajorans make it as far as Earth in their ships?
2) Why the Founders hated solids.
Who were the race that drove them into the omarion nebula? Are this race still around? Have the Dominion encountered the Borg (They must have), How did they escape assimilation? How big is Dominion Space? How do they make new Jem'Hardar warriors and Vorta's? (I know they clone them but we haven't seen the process on screen). What happened to the ships that dissapeared in the Gamma Quadrant? Are they're any POW's in the Gamma Quadrant?
3) Starfleet and Distances
What was the Enterprise E doing during the War? (This was never established in the series or movies). How far from Earth is DS9? What is the maximum warp of the Defiant? How many ships are there in the fleet? How big is Federation space? How did the Breen get to Earth without getting stopped?

"Who founded the Bajoran religion and how the religion controlled what people did in their ordinary everyday lives."

The Prophets, one would imagine. Handy, having gods that actually exist.

"Why was the emmisary so important?"

Because the Prophets said so? And maybe that whole saving the Alpha Quadrant thing.

"Did the ancient Bajorans make it as far as Earth in their ships?"

No. And what does it matter? Earth, Vulcan, Megalonopolis...they weren't exactly the focus of the show.

"Why the Founders hated solids."

This was made explicitly clear.

"Have the Dominion encountered the Borg (They must have)"

What makes you say that? Galaxy size = Big.

"How big is Dominion Space?"

Big enough?

"(I know they clone them but we haven't seen the process on screen)"

Um...question answered.

"What was the Enterprise E doing during the War?"

Important Enterprise type things that, while surely important and heroic and Enterprise-y had little to do with a show not about Enterprises.

"How far from Earth is DS9?"

Close enough for comfort but too far for a daily commute.

"What is the maximum warp of the Defiant?"

That one's answered twice. (Albeit with different answers both times.)

"How many ships are there in the fleet?"

A lot.

"How did the Breen get to Earth without getting stopped?"

Stealth and luck?

"That one's answered twice."

How about actually giving the answer? I'd also like to know.

As for the Borg and the Dominion ... I could imagine them having made contact, the Dominion occupies a large empire, and the Borg probably head out in all directions trying to find new races to "assimilate." Just speculation, but I imagine they could've "met" the Borg.

The Changelings were persecuted by the solids, which is why they hate them.

The Enterprise was doing things such as "showing the flag" inside the Federation and trying to find new members. Didn't you see Insurrection?.

BTW: There IS a DS9-thread, you know.

Oh, yes, and if you read (insert shameless plug here -->) Star Trek: Gamma Quadrant, you know that there ARE POWs still held by the Dominion in the Gamma Quadrant.

Well, according to your ideas on what happened after the war. Don't fool guys like Darkie into believing that series is real, or we're all doomed.

Well why don't we move this into the DS9-forum then, where it can rest among its brothers and sisters, hmm?

You'd think it would smack obvious for certain members to post DS9 related questions to the DS9 forum. Alas ...

Well, more like it's one brother, and sibling experiment thread. Or something.

Orgasm.

Hell yeah.

And if you read MY series, you'd know that my main characters are former Dominion POW's.

What does this have to do with the thread topic? Absolutely nothing! (I figured if Jeff could plug his fanfic, so could I )
