After discovering a shortcut to the Gamma Quadrant via the Bajoran Wormhole, the Federation accidentally attracts the attention of the most ruthless force in the galaxy. The guys break down the terrifying efficiency of the Dominion, an empire ruled by the mythic, shapeshifting Founders and enforced by the genetically engineered, drug-dependent Jem'Hadar. Tune in as we discuss how a desperate Starfleet was forced to completely abandon its morals to survive. From Section 31's deployment of a genocide-inducing virus against the Changelings to Elim Garak's cold-blooded assassination plots to drag the Romulans into the fight, this is Star Trek at its absolute darkest.
