The Dominions storm troopers, the Jem’Hadar violently enforce the will of the Founders.
Beaming into a jungle-like habitat, the away team is besieged by JemHadar, but these are very different.
They do not talk and instead act primitive, wearing animal skins and using simple weapons.
First, they took Ben Sisko and his son Jake, as well as Quark and Nog hostage.
Although the Federation has numerous enemies, few of them could compare to the JemHadar.
The Dominion ensures loyalty among the JemHadar by hooking them to a highly addictive substance named Ketracel-White.
If a JemHadar goes without Ketracel-White for too long, they will die a horrible death.
The tragedy of the JemHadar is they were not always violent and drug-addled.The Dominion made them that way.
As seen inStar Trek: Voyager#11, the JemHadar encountered on Leviathan were not too intelligent.
Indeed, they were just as savage as their counterparts in the Gamma Quadrant.
The JemHadar were not the only species in the Gamma Quadrant the Founders genetically altered.
Most subjects of the Dominion do not interact with the Founders.
Instead, the Vorta act as intermediaries.
During the war, the Dominion made massive strides in the Alpha Quadrant, temporarily occupying Betazed.
Furthermore, an underhanded tactic by Section 31 got the peace process underway.
The Federation had to sacrifice some of itself to stop the Dominion.
The true extent of the Dominions evil may never be revealed.
InDeep Space Ninesfinale, Odo convinced the Founders to abandon their war and embrace a better way of living.
