History Characters / StarTrekOnlineDominion

* BladeOnAStick: They carry the kar'takin polearm as a melee weapon, and have no qualms about using it against any enemy foolish enough to come within range.

* TheUnfought: When the player is forced to engage the two Jem'Hadar dreadnoughts she has guarding the abandoned Dominion facility, the fight barely gets started before Garak shows up with his own fleet and forces her to retreat.

* ArmorPiercingSlap: Finds himself on the receiving end of one from Kira Nerys which almost knocks him clean off his feet when he explains his below-mentioned gambit to her.
--> '''Kira:''' "You put [[spoiler:my entire planet]] at risk. People ''died'', Odo!"

* DummiedOut: "Rapier" was removed when the Cardassian story arc was rewritten in Season 11 (October 2015), and his appearances in "The 2800" story were {{retcon}}ned to Weyoun 10 by ''Victory Is Life''.

* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:She was responsible for turning the H'urq into the monsters they are now. In "Tenebris Torquent" she traps the PlayerCharacter, Garak, and Odo on the H'urq homeworld and orders them all shot in an impromptu firing squad, when the giant mutant H'urq that's been hunting the PC all mission appears and stabs her InTheBack.]]

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:Gets skewered through the torso of her humanoid form by a giant mutant H'urq.]]

! The Founders

* NoNameGiven: She is only known as the "Female Changeling" or her formal title of "Founder".

* YouHaveFailedMe: When Kar'ukan and his troops invade Facility 4028 and pledge their loyalty to the Female Changeling, she blames him for the Dominion losing control of Deep Space 9.

Diplomats and intermediaries between the Founders and the other races within the Dominion's sphere of influence. Also act as field commanders for Jem'Hadar combat units, directing them in battle and ensuring their loyalty through control of ketracel-white.

! Jem'Hadar

* RoleReprisal: The "Victory is Life" expansion had her previous appearances in the game, as well as all new content involving her, voiced by Salome Jens, the actress who portrayed the character on ''[=DS9=]''.

! The Dominion in general

* WeHaveReserves: Just as in the series, the Dominion can churn out warships and Jem'Hadar to man them at an impressive rate, allowing them to crush most enemies with sheer weight of numbers, and making a war of attrition against them an almost suicidal proposition (even the ''Iconians'' admit that the Dominion would have to be handled very carefully). The fact that the Hur'q are, in Odo's own words, winning said war of attrition, shows just how scary they are. When the Playable Jem'Hadar Captain is given their ship, the Dominion is down to a single fleet.

* FantasticDrug: Just as in ''DS9'', the Jem'Hadar are entirely dependent on ketracel-white in order to survive. However, the end of the Gamma quadrant story arc has the Dominion under Odo developing a cure for this dependency; Jem'Hadar player-characters who complete this storyline no longer suffer from withdrawal effects if they don't regularly consume it and instead can use it to provide an optional, temporary boost to movement speed and combat effectiveness.

* HeroicSacrifice: He [[spoiler: allows himself to fall into a Hur'q computer core analysis stream]], allowing Bashir to distribute the cure to the Hur'q [[spoiler: homicidal madness and swarming, as Dukan'Rex's body is infused with Ketracel, a close relative of the needed Hur'q enzyme]]... but the effort is too much for his body.

* WeHaveReserves: Just as in the series, the Dominion can churn out warships and Jem'Hadar to man them at an impressive rate, allowing them to crush most enemies with sheer weight of numbers, and making a war of attrition against them an almost suicidal proposition. The fact that the Hur'q are, in Odo's own words, winning said war of attrition, shows just how scary they are. When the Playable Jem'Hadar Captain is given their ship, the Dominion is down to a single fleet.

Interstellar superpower of the Gamma quadrant, and primary antagonist of the [[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine Dominion War]] three decades prior to the events of the game. Still remains largely unchanged despite having come out on the losing side of the war. They have allowed commerce between their client states and the races of the Alpha and Beta quadrants, but keep a close eye on all proceedings in their space.

--> Played by Rene Auberjonois

'''Female Changeling:''' I need soldiers Kar'ukan, not excuses. You failed the Dominion once, I will not give you the opportunity to do so again.

* KilledOffscreen: Loriss 3, the version players encounter from "Second Wave" to "Boldly They Rode", was apparently executed, as "Scylla and Charybdis" introduces Loriss 4, who mentions tensions with the Alliance caused by "her predecessor". This is further reinforced when the player eavesdrops on an argument between Loriss and Weyoun at the end of "The Search".

* UndyingLoyalty: [[spoiler:Continues trying to uphold the Female Changeling's will even after she's killed.]]

--> '''Dukan'Rex:''' "We do not serve you, Vorta. Where this Founder leads, we follow."

--> Played by Salome Jens

--> '''Female Changeling:''' "I know you, Kar'ukan. Your fleet failed us in the battle for Deep Space 9. We lost because you did not arrive."
--> '''Kar'ukan:''' "Our fleet was diverted passing through the anomaly, we did not-"
--> '''Female Changeling:''' "I need soldiers Kar'ukan, not excuses. You failed the Dominion once, I will not give you the opportunity to do so again."

--> '''Kira:''' "You put my entire planet at risk. People ''died'', Odo!"

* KlingonPromotion: Becomes the de-facto leader of the Dominion following the [[spoiler: death of the Female Changeling]]. As such, he implements sweeping reforms to the Dominion, such as ending the Jem'Hadar's dependence on ketracel-white, allowing the Dominion's vassals the right to self-governance, and joining the Alliance.

* KilledOffscreen: Loriss 3, the version players encounter from "Second Wave" to "Boldly They Rode", apparently suffered this fate as "Scylla and Charybdis" introduces Loriss 4, who mentions tensions with the Alliance caused by "her predecessor". This is further reinforced when the player eavesdrops on an argument between Loriss and Weyoun at the end of "The Search".

!Weyoun
--> Played by Jeffrey Combs

* KilledOffForReal: His tenth (and possibly final) clone is killed by Dukan'Rex after destroying Dr. Bashir's cure for the Hur'q madness.

--> Played by Bumper Robinson

--> '''Kar'ukan:''' "The Founders have turned their backs upon us! We are denied their glory! The only glory for us now is death in battle! We are already dead! We may reclaim our honor at the price of our lives!"
