Mind you, some of those "glitched" people may latch onto their gods' weakness as justification to foment rebellion. AFAWCT it was only the highest echelons of their leadership who ever discussed that point and worship of the Founders is hard-wired into their servants on the genetic level, despite the occasional glitches in that programming. However, I don't think we can assume that knowledge of the Founders' near demise is so widespread that it would shake the faith of their worshippers. The Dominion is currently at peace with the Alpha Quadrant, and it may be that Odo's passing on his understanding of "solid" society may work a sea change on the Founders' approach to other peoples. I suspect Cardassia is going to be the "sick man of the Alpha Quadrant" for some time, relying on the good will of its neighbors to rebuild, and probably won't be in much of a position to reassert its territorial claims. Yes, the Federation, Klingons and Romulans are all hurting after recent events, but their cooperation in the Dominion War, and Federation assistance averting upheaval in the Romulan Empire, has IMHO laid the groundwork for greater trust and cooperation between them, particularly since none of them are likely up for renewed conflicts. Well, the impression I've gotten from the more recent ST series and film is that the immediate outlook for the ol' Alpha Quadrant is fairly optimistic. Re: Star Trek: Dominion War Aftermath and effects? There are many of you more versed in Trek Lore than I, and some of you just have a gift for expressing what you'd like to happen, and then what you think WOULD happen even if you don't like it, so I'm looking for ideas about the ramifications after the war, particularly along system borders and such, and who would end up allying with whom after. Who would hold onto what conquered territories? Who would shore up defenses on what side of the worm hole? Would the Klingons really give up some of the systems they'd taken in battle? Would concessions be demanded from the Dominion?Īnd is Rom going to totally throw Feraninar's economic system into the toilet with his kindler gentler approach as Nagus?
And the Founders? Well, thanks to Odo they get cured, but were they able to hold onto power among their own troops? True, the White kept the Jemhadar in line, and the Vorta worshiped them, but throughout the series hints that the former might be free occured, and the image of invincibility the Founders once had among their subjects was bound to take a hit. The Romulans seemed to come out of it looking good, at least until Nemesis threw them into some confusion. The only general consensus I seem to find is the Cardasian Union is screwed, and may not hold together, and both the Federation and Klingons are hurting. While I'll probably never get the time, I have considered a "Post Dominion War" Star Trek setting.
