Not to mention, just a few episodes ago, we had an episode where Section 31 manipulated Romulan politics to put their own agent in power. Seems rather awkward to have the Romulans flip sides after that.

THESE SPOILERS ARE GETTING WORSE ALL THE TIME
Well, Cloud City already falls under Imperial occupation in Empire… but that isn't anywhere near the same fate as Lakarian City.

More in the vein of 'The Bear Went Over the Mountain'…
In Contact! Case Studies from the Long War, at the link below. The chapter on the Palm Sunday Ambush alone is really interesting writing.

THE CHANGING FACE OF SPOILERS
Hell, I wonder if it took Dominion engineers to take what possibly was a pirate weapon, something for Breen privateers to use to prey on vulnerable shipping, and scale it up into the 'Breen weapon' we see, into something that could take down full-scale warships.

My dear, I think it's probably the case that the Borg have already had a kanar or two, and have since *adapted* to kanar.

The Dominion conquered Betazed back in 'In The Pale Moonlight,' …
SPOILERS
But the raid on Earth and Second Chin'Toka are the last Dominion offensives mentioned on-screen.

In retrospect, it comes off as a one-off raid, part of the Dominion attempting to make their new Breen members seem imposing and terrifying… but without the capability to follow it up.

Sir, are you actually a Breen under that suit, or are you a changeling infiltrator?

AND NOW, THE SPOILERS:
I like how his rebellion teaches Damar that no, Cardassia can't be a people that goes back to imperialism if it's going to survive… and that ultimately, it won't be the military Damar takes such pride in, but the Cardassian people who save themselves.

The Obsidian Order and the Tal Shiar, due to the nature of the states they support, are at once intelligence services *and* secret police - they have both external *and* internal threats to the established order to investigate. Starfleet Intelligence and S31 are able to focus on external threats for the most part.

SPOILER TREK: ONLINE
STO and the novels went different ways. DS9's still the old Cardassian-designed space station it always was in Star Trek Online, and the Klingons are a lot less friendly with the Feds in STO. (They're at war… sorta).

For love, and even for lust, Treknobabble finds a way.

The change in Cretaks was apparently because the Senator's original actor wasn't available.

To be fair, they set it up a bit, by making Kirk seem like he's going crazy…

I started it last week.
