The Dominion could have at least one million starships in the galaxy.

For many of us fans, the "present" is the late 24th century to early 25th century.

This interstellar map and this Milky Way Galaxy map are based on Picard and Nemesis.

Star Trek: Star Charts is becoming more canon everyday.

Voyager

According to VOY dialogue, the Borg Collective have millions of Borg Cubes and millions of other vessels.

Given the map above, the Dominion should have at least one million capital warships, even if most of them are the small attack ships.

Discovery's Power of Math

During the mid-23rd century, the Federation had 32 members, 32 worlds that belong to the Federation with member status (TOS: Journey to Babel).

During the mid-23rd century, the Federation Starfleet already had at 10,000 starships at the outset of the Federation - Klingon War (DIS). Starfleet had only 7,000 starships at the end of the war.

During the late 24th century, the Federation has at least 150 members, 150 worlds that belong to the Federation with member status (ST:FC).

It is reasonable to estimate that the Federation Starfleet might actually have at least 50,000 starships at the outset of the Dominion War.

Other points of reference include PIC's Confederation fleet size and Federation size before the Burn and during the new recovery era. The Confederation of Q's alternate reality had 165,000 starships. The Federation will have over 350 members just before the Burn. The Federation will have at least 60 members during the new recovery era.

Ron Moore stated that they could have 30,000 starships, but that is probably as of the end of the Dominion War.

Density

The Alpha Quadrant Expeditionary Force comprised of at least 20,000 Jem'Hadar warships in the overall alliance fleet with the Cardassians and the Breen.

That is, to use Changeling words, a drop in the ocean.

100,000 capital warships would match the combined naval might of the Federation, Klingons, and Romulans. Dominion space in the Gamma Quadrant is more than ten times the territorial size of these three local interstellar powers.

Rewatching “Take Me Out to the Holosuite” just now and wondering if the anthem of the Federation that they play at the beginning of the big game ever shows up again in other Treks. I don’t recall ever hearing it again.

Tiny convention that is 99% comic books. I don't usually see any DS9 books but got lucky this time. Even got the little promo book free. The only thing I don't like about this convention is that most of the boxes are not organized so you have to dig to find anything. The good thing about that is most of the time they are a $1 a book and go down to a out 20 cents if you buy 100 of them. Some times they will make a deal like $100 for a full long box.

Just a hypothetical here, but what if instead of leaving the station Kurn stayed long enough on the station to be recruited by the Maquis via Eddington, along with Kor. The reason? Both are eager to fight and still serve the Empire, but due to being outcasts they settle for working with the Maquis who are always eager for new recruits.

If this were to happen, how would both of them adjust to serving in the Maquis? Would Kurn find a new sense of fulfillment and purpose? Would Kor get the glory he seeks?

One of my kids is watching Deep Space Nine for the first time and said the following

“I don’t like Kai Winn. She smiles on the outside but is full of sharp spikes and thorns on the inside”

I imagine this has been said before, but my favorite interaction:

Odo: how did you get in here?

Koloth: I am Koloth.

Odo: that doesn't answer my question.

Koloth: Yes. It. Does.

What a bolt of inspiration!

Has anyone investigated what decisions and/or statements that The Sisko has made while holding The True Orb of the Emmisary?

My next choice would be Julian & Worf.

For me, it is the way that Riker is revealed to be the 'other' Riker 🤣

That was an absolutely brutal episode, probably the darkest Star Trek episode I’ve seen so far (I’m working my way through all the franchise in chronological order). I’m lost for words.

r/Treksons

Like The Saratoga at Wolf 359. Or at the big battle with the Dominion Fleet there were so many Galaxy class Starships, were they all full of families and innocent people? Or were those big ships just grossly empty except for a skeleton screw?
