The '''Dominion War''' was a two-year (late 2373-late 2375) interstellar conflict between the [[Dominion]] and the [[Federation Alliance]] that consumed the entire [[Alpha Quadrant]] in one of the most destructive wars in galactic history. By the end of the war, the Alpha Quadrant had lost a notable power: the [[Cardassian Union]], the [[Klingon Defense Force]] was set back for decades, and there remained a catastrophic death toll for all powers involved.
With the help of Odo, the Cardassian Rebellion was able to capture a [[Jem'Hadar]] attack ship fitted with one of the Breen's energy dampening weapons from the Kelvas repair facility. With the weapon delivered to the Federation, a countermeasure was able to be produced for both Federation and Romulan ships, thus returning the tactical advantage into the Allies' favor. Shortly afterwards however, the Cardassian Liberation Front was completely wiped out by the Dominion after Gul Revok betrayed it, allowing all 18 rebel bases to be found and destroyed. Even after this success however, the Dominion realized that the Federation Alliance had developed a countermeasure to the Breen's weaponry, and withdrew all of their forces from Klingon, Federation and Romulan space in order to shorten their supply lines and fortify within Cardassian territory until they were able to rebuild a sufficient armada to win the war. <br/>
Although Damar's military rebellion was crushed, his brief but effective campaign gained massive support from the Cardassian civilian population. After a raid on a Jem'Hadar barracks on [[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Cardassia_Prime Cardassia Prime]], Damar was able to rally the support of the entire civilian population on Cardassia, which proved to be vital during the Allies' final invasion. The determination was made by the Allied commanders that the best hopes of success for an invasion was now, before the Dominion was allowed to strengthen itself any further. A three-pronged attack into Cardassia was organized and led by Admiral William Ross, now Chancellor Martok and Romulan commander Velal. <br/>
