Starfleet-controlled space station Deep Space Nine, located adjacent
to the mouth of a stable wormhole near the planet Bajor. The Bajoran
wormhole provides instantaneous travel to the Gamma Quadrant, a region
on the other side of the galaxy. During the second season of Deep
Space Nine, the Dominion, a powerful empire in the Gamma Quadrant, is
introduced; and over the course of the second and third seasons, more
information about the Dominion is revealed. Conflict escalates through
the fourth and fifth seasons, as the Dominion infiltrates Alpha
Quadrant powers and eventually forms an alliance with Cardassia; open
warfare begins at the end of the fifth season, when the Dominion
briefly occupies Deep Space Nine, and continues until the Dominion is
finally defeated in the series finale.The Dominion War arcs present
themes that challenge the values of the characters in a manner not
attempted in earlier series of Star Trek, and have received a mixed
critical response. Developing the plot of the Dominion War also
altered how the series was scripted, shifting the emphasis from an
episodic to a serialized narrative format. Dominion War Top Movies & Young Movies
