TrekAdvent Day 9, fresh like pine, classy as wine, making the day fine. I don’t know how or why I started incorporating rhymes into my posts so we’ll see if it sticks around. While we wait, let’s have a peek at the newest craft rolling off the Dominion assembly line. After the defeat of the Shadows at the hands of the Vorlons and an alliance of the younger races, the ancient race of insect-like manipulators wouldn’t have much need for their ships. That’s where the Jem’Hadar come in. Having recently acquired their new fleet of converted TIE fighters they need someplace to dock them, and this Shadow Dreadnought (as Sheridan called it) fits the bill. Along with the massively powerful weaponry and durability common to Shadow vessels the Jem’Hadar develop a deep respect for their First Principles, chaos through warfare, evolution through bloodshed, perfection through victory. And as we all know, Victory is Life.
