THE EXTENT OF THE
by Dewald de Coning The extent of the involvement of the Empire in the Dominion War
To fully appreciate the role the Klingon empire played in the Dominion War, it's important to note
that this conflict was preceded by two smaller conflicts, the war between the Empire and the
Cardassian Union on one end, and between the Empire and the Federation on the other. Both these
conflicts were inextricably linked with each other, and inevitably paved the way for the inevitable
outbreak of war with the Dominion. Sources
