How the Cruelty of the ‘Solids’ Created One of Star Trek’s Most Dangerous Factions

Reupload of a video we did a while ago in which the audio was messed up😅

I’m so glad you got it fixed. I was looking forward to your take on the Dominion.

[@DANIELCloutier-ru8wg]

Great video. I loved it. I would have liked to see more of the subjugated species under Dominion control and more history about the Dominion but still very great.

[@JLAvey]

The Dominion's back story is one that actually makes sense in context of the story. It's believable. You can imagine a people who have been persecuted who achieve power and make sure nobody can ever persecute them again. What was the quote? What you control can't ever hurt you?

[@stingyblue8189]

The next antagonist that I would like to you cover would be the Xindi , especially the Reptilians. I believe the Xindi Reptilians were equal if not superior soldiers to Jem’Hedar and the Breen. I’d also like to see you cover Species 8472 or the Undine.

At least Dominion is functional, and can be negotiated with. Can't say thr same for DS9's other antagonist species, the Pagh - Wraiths.

After this war, anyone knows about the relations between the Dominion and the Federation after that? The same can also be asked about the relations with the Klingon Empire and the Romulan Star Empire as well.

To be fair, we solids can be real bastards sometimes. But it's not like we have a monopoly on that. Armus was no saint. (And don't get me started on that cloud vampire!) But the people you really need to watch out for are the non-corporeals! Sure the Medusans are all right (if you don't look at them), and the Organians stopped a war (for a minute, then they promptly forgot about it). But most of them just want to possess your body, or feed off your emotions (or both) or go around corrupting children or turning them into superhuman jerks, or have hissy-fits and wipe out entire sentient species. And I wouldn't trust a Q as far as I could kick one!

Sure Captain Kirk tried to be cruel to all of the seemingly all powerful energy beings he encountered but the solids were basically nothing compared to them.

The Dominion is and odd mix between ruthless hyperefficiency and, aparently, deliberate dysfunctionality (i.e. the lack of any proper officer corps)
