Status: Hostile
Location: Gamma Quadrant
Threat: High - Military technology more developed, in some regards, than UFP

More than two thousand years old, the Dominion is one of the largest and oldest known interstellar powers.  The government of the Dominion is controlled by the Founders, a race of shape-shifters able to mimic other objects and people so well as to be nearly undetectable even with scanners.  The will of the founders is ruthlessly enforced by the Jem'Hadar, engineered warriors with a fanatical devotion to the founders that borders on worship.  The Vorta are used by the Founders to control the Jem'Hadar and as ambassadors.

When the races of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants gained access to the Gamma Quadrant through the Bajor wormhole in 2370, the Dominion reacted violently to drive the invaders from their territory.  No way was ever found to peacefully co-exist with the Dominion.  It is known that the Dominion has spies in the governments of many of the Alpha and Beta Quadrant powers, some of whom are founders, but the full extent of the network is not known.  The Klingons, Cardassians, and Federation joined forces, briefly, in the 2370's to prevent the Dominion from gaining a foothold in the Alpha Quadrant.  After the discovery of the Herod II wormhole in the Romulan Neutral Zone, the Romulans and the Federation joined forces to prevent the Dominion from establishing a foothold in the Beta Quadrant.  (It was that cooperation that led to the Romulan Entente.)

Today, the Dominion remains a threat, though one largely contained in the Gamma Quadrant.
