Jem’Hadar conflict at Starbase 783. Klingons, Jem’Hadar fighting independently against Federation/Romulan allied battle group. Enemy forces are overcome.

February 19, 2376
Rumors begin on Deep Space Nine of planned Dominion attack. DS9 is placed on yellow alert status; all Federation ships are to remain ready in case of action.

February 25, 2376
Jem’Hadar battleship ‘K’Klaq Moor’ comes through wormhole and destroys Deep Space Nine. Jem’Hadar alerts all Beta/Alpha quadrant inhabitants of planned invasion by the Dominion; all races have two options: join willingly, or risk destruction. One week is given to decide.

February 27, 2376
Klingons attack the K’Klaq Moor with a large offensive fleet. The battlestation is barely scratched as the entire Klingon force is eliminated. The Dominion notifies all races that the invasion has begun, and thousands of Jem’Hadar and Karemma ships arrive through the Bajoran wormhole.

March 2, 2376
Cardassia - already unofficially affiliated with the Dominion - sends hundreds of cruisers to assist the Dominion effort.

March 5, 2376
First battle of the Dominion war takes place near the Beltan system. Klingon forces successfully hold off Dominion vessels until the K’Klaq Moor arrives.

March 6, 2376
Defiant class Federation Starship Sirius confronts Dominion forces near the Melina system. Sirius is destroyed almost immediately.

March 8, 2376
Dominion forces reach the outer perimeter of Federation space. Starbases 548 and 549 hold off the attackers until the K’Klaq Moor engages and destroys both bases.

March 9, 2376
Starfleet sends the Avatar, Narcissus, Wellington, Zanzibar, and Yuma to intercept the incoming Dominion fleet. Thirty Amicus fighter squadrons join battle in progress. Federation forces make progress until forced to retreat by K’Klaq Moor battleship.

March 14, 2376
Final Federation stand at Wolf 359. Starships Avatar, Avenger, Marauder, Nemesis, Intruder, Wellington, Annapolis, Vicksburg, Narcissus, Brockton, Alvarado, Kasatka, Tactical, Hornet, Terminator, Katana, Prelude, Atraiou, Scorpion, Molokai, Lone Wolf, Falcon, and Velociraptor are sent to defend, along with a substantial Cetacean tactical force. Dominion suffers heavy losses as Klingons send additional forces. K’Klaq Moor is held off for the first time until Dominion breaks through outer perimeter of the Federation defense strategy. Approximately half of the opposing Starfleet forces escape the battle, retreat to Del Amitri nebula. The rest of the Federation and Klingon opposition are eliminated and the Federation falls to the Dominion.

March 15, 2376
Cetacean colonies Alast, Delar, Hadlan, and Triatus are evacuated by the Tursiops amicus neo-dolphins. Neo-fins rush all available fighters and supplies to Federation base in Del Amitri Nebula via the Tursi Intrepid Battlestation, eluding Dominion forces en route.

March 20, 2376
Dominion forces storm into Klingon territory, decimating the Klingon defense force on their way to Qo’noS. The Klingon government is seized within three days.

March 23, 2376
Captain Kristian Johnson’s 17th birthday. The small Federation remainder forces send an Amicus scout group to survey the situation. What is found is that the entire Federation is under Dominion control.

March 24, 2376
Romulan task force arrives at Federation stronghold in the Del Amitri nebula with good news; they posses tactical knowledge of the K’Klaq Moor, and may know of a way to destroy it. Overcome with joy, the group officially becomes the Independent Federated Empire. All ships are changed to an ‘FEC’ prefix - Federated Empire Cruiser.

March 31, 2376
Dominion scout group happens upon an IFE sensor beacon on the outer perimeter of the Del Amitri nebula. Immediately notified of the security breach, the IFE’s forces make a quick exit out the other side of the nebula, and are not discovered. They proceed to the uninhabited Deinonychus system where they set up a base on a Class-M planet.

April 4, 2376
News reaches the IFE colony via cetacean operatives that the Romulan Star Empire has been captured by the Dominion. There are also rumors of a group of renegade Federation ships hiding out somewhere in sector 23520, which includes the Deinonychus system. The IFE smartly decided to find another location to begin building up forces for the final assault.

April 20, 2376
The IFE group discovers Epsilon VI in the Epsilon Indi star system, where an unusually high concentration of electromagnetic radiation would shield any ships in orbit or on the surface from enemy sensor scans, which makes it perfect for an outpost.

April 24, 2376
Amicus scouts surveying the Epsilon Indi system make a thrilling discovery; on Epsilon II, a large ship wreck is found. The vessel is amazingly intact and composed entirely of neutronium, the same alloy which makes the K’Klaq Moor invincible. Unfortunately, the planet is located so close to the sun that any attempt to retrieve it by the scouts would reduce them to dust. They return to Epsilon VI with the good news.

April 26, 2376
The FEC Molokai, the only vessel in the IFE fleet equipped to retrieve the derelict ship, is dispatched to Epsilon II for the salvage operation. En route, Dominion-controlled Romulan forces intercept the Molokai and open fire. Molokai survives initial attack until backup arrives. The Molokai, Tsunami, Tactical, and friendly Romulan Warbirds destroy the enemy forces. Too damaged to continue the operation, it is decided to return to Epsilon VI and make rapid repairs before the Dominion returns. Tactical and Tsunami remain in orbit of Epsilon II as a precaution.

April 28, 2376
The Molokai attempts another salvage mission. This time, the escort ships come under attack by Romulan & Jem’Hadar forces as the derelict is secured to the Molokai on the surface. Starships Hornet and Falcon remain behind to allow the rest of the fleet to escape, and are destroyed.

April 30, 2376
IFE forces reach the planet Pacifica, already ‘cleansed’ by the Dominion forces. This location was chosen for its beautiful oceans which would give the dolphin crew members a chance to relax from the recent events, as well as the rest of the crew. All planetary-capable vessels are secured on the surface; starships Kasatka, Terminator, Prelude, Atraiou, and Lone Wolf orbit cloaked. A polaron field networked by the cloaked orbiting ships masks the activities below, making the planet appear uninhabited. Work begins on revealing the derelict’s secrets, which the cetacean crew believe will be the weapon of their victory against the Dominion.

May 4, 2376
Dolphin technicians are the first to activate the vessel. Upon reviewing its computer logs, it is discovered that the vessel is an ancient scout ship sent by a humanoid race residing on the far side of the Gamma Quadrant. The ship was so well built that, after its crew succumbed to a bacterial infection, the ship continued on its course for several decades until it crashed on Epsilon II. The scout has much advanced technology, including a self-replenishing power generator which uses materials never heard of before, a pure neutronium hull, a lightspeed drive remarkably similar to current prototype Soliton Wave systems, a type of phase shielding never before encountered, but which works identical to an interphase generator, and two forward weapons of unknown function which feed directly off the power generator. It is decided that, after extensive testing confirms that all systems are performing correctly, the vessel will be tested against Dominion forces to find its tactical value. The derelict departs, along with the cloaked FEC Atraiou as backup. The scout’s engines must be reduced to 75% power so the Atraiou can keep up at its maximum speed.

May 5, 2376
The scout and Atraiou encounter three Romulan ships, of which the scout destroys all without assistance. The ships return with the good news. That evening in a waterfront celebration with all in attendance, the derelict scout is officially christened as the FEC Sibilant. Lt. Commander Nick Oberly, navigation officer aboard the Kasatka, is given the command of the Sibilant. The celebration continues through the night.

May 6, 2376
Early in the day, the orbiting vessels intercept a Dominion transmission. The expert encryption specialists, the Velociraptors, decipher the message and discover that it is a distress signal. A Dominion battle group stationed in Pacifica’s neighboring system have been attacked by three Borg vessels, now heading toward sector 001 at high speed. Realizing that this may be the distraction which the IFE needs to win the war, all crew and supplies are readied and all vessels depart for sector 001.

May 7, 2376
Another Dominion transmission is intercepted. Apparently, the forgotten Ferengi had escaped the invasion, and have now returned, attempting to take back Ferenginar. The Dominion is unsure whether to assign the K’Klaq Moor to defend against the Borg or Ferengi attack. The IFE decide to give them a third option.

May 9, 2376
The K’Klaq Moor, a limited Dominion force, and the IFE fleet arrive in sector 001. The Sibilant, under the command of Nick Oberly, severely damages the K’Klaq Moor, allowing the other vessels to move in and destroy it. Unfortunately, four ships are lost: the Terminator, Atraiou, Scorpion, and Lone Wolf. The Sibilant and Molokai remain at Earth to repel the Borg vessels, while the Kasatka, Tactical, Katana, Prelude, and Velociraptor leave to assist the Ferengi effort.

May 10, 2376
The three Borg cubes arrive at sector 001. The Sibilant and Molokai open fire. The Molokai sustains massive damage in the attack; however, both ships prevail, and short-term repairs are made to the Molokai. Both ships leave to join the rest of the group. Meanwhile, the IFE fleet has met up with the Ferengi, who are faring badly against the Dominion force. With the added starships, as well as the Tursi Intrepid Battlestation and Amicus class fighters, the battle is turned in favor of the IFE/Ferengi group.

May 11, 2376
With the arrival of the Sibilant and Molokai, nearly half the Dominion forces have been eliminated, with the loss of only a few Amicus squadrons and one additional starship, the Prelude. The remaining Dominion ships retreat in the direction of the Bajoran Wormhole, with Ferengi, IFE, and Romulan ships in hot pursuit.

May 13, 2376
Reaching the Bajoran wormhole with only a third of their forces left, the Dominion quickly exits via the wormhole. The remaining friendly forces return to their respective homeworlds to sort out the current situation. But one thing is clear: the Dominion has been defeated!

May 16, 2376
The Ferengi, Klingon, Romulan, and now-Federation governments arrange a post-war meeting at the planet Pacifica. A treaty is signed which begins an alliance among the four powers, and also guarantees that the technology from the Sibilant will be equally shared. The decision is also made, with the extinction of the entire Bajoran race at the hands of the Dominion, that it would be in the best interest to permanently collapse the Bajoran wormhole. The agreement is then made that the wormhole will be shut down indefinitely on May 20 by the use of a huge antimatter bomb the Federation had in storage in case of such an event. The Federation also changes all its ships back to ‘USS’.

May 18, 2376
The Sibilant, secured at Starbase 651, as well as the antimatter bomb, are stolen by Romulan forces, who then make their way to the wormhole. Alerted almost immediately, Starfleet sends the only ship able to intercept the thieves before they reach the wormhole, the USS Kasatka. Unfortunately, the Kasatka is massively outgunned and is destroyed, though many of the crew escape in shuttles and escape pods. The Romulans then enter the wormhole and detonate the antimatter device, successfully sealing perhaps the most revolutionary find of the 24th century, along with themselves, 90,000 light-years away. Somehow, the Federation believes they have not heard the last of the Romulan robbers. Later, the Federation, Klingons, and Ferengi contact the Romulan Star Empire. In typical Romulan fashion, they claim no knowledge of the theft, and persist that the Romulans involved were not acting under the government. It is then agreed that the Romulans are exempt from the treaty.

May 20, 2376
A lone Romulan Warbird opens fire on a Klingon base near the Klingon/Romulan neutral zone. The Klingons, currently possessing the most powerful star fleet of the four races, respond by destroying the Warbird, and then traveling directly into the heart of the Romulan Empire to Romulus and Remus, their two homeworlds. They then begin the bloodiest and most violent massacre of any empire’s history. Neither the Federation nor the Ferengi decide to intervene.

May 26, 2376
The Romulan government finally attempts to reason with the Klingons, but their pleas are ignored. The Klingons continue their rampage, slowly but surely eliminating the Romulan Empire.

May 30, 2376
The Romulans attempt an escape by sending thirty Warbirds into space - apparently just to get away from the horrible acts of violence the Klingons are committing. Of the thirty Warbirds, twenty-three are destroyed. The remaining seven are not heard from again, but their course takes them into the Gamma Quadrant - to the other end of where the Bajoran wormhole used to be.

May 31, 2376
The Klingon Empire stops the attack, and officially claims the Romulan Star Empire as a member of their own. And thus a new era of peace begins... but for how long, nobody can say...
