The Alpha Quadrant is the most densely populated quarter of the galaxy, with many diverse races coexisting in close proximity. However, when first contact with the Dominion had been made, the Quadrant suddenly became the target of relentless attack from Dominion forces. The Bajoran Wormhole that connected the Alpha Quadrant to the Gamma Quadrant became the gateway where forces almost as alien as the Borg streamed through to invade the Alpha Quadrant.
When a major Alpha Quadrant power, the Cardassian Union, joined the Dominion cause, the war front looked bleak indeed. The United Federation of Planets led efforts in fighting off invading Jem'Hadar, but at every battle suffered terrible losses and few gains. All the while, Bajor, a lone planet among the vast empires surrounding it, was trapped by its proximity to the wormhole entrance. How will Bajor manage to weather the warring times? Will the Federation and its allies be able to break the Dominion's hold on Cardassia? The state of affairs with Alpha Quadrant politics has never been so chaotic and unpredictable nor has its fate been been in so much doubt. |
