2023 TrekAdvent, Day 20

For untold years the name Star Destroyer has been synonymous with the Galactic Empire and its unending reign over a galaxy far, fa….you know that bit. But now, after the cruel devastation of Cardassia Prime in the closing hours of the Dominion War, the survivors of Cardassia have made the decision to change how the Alpha Quadrant views this ship and its name. With their Basestar Class vessels taking on the role of transporting combat craft, the new Star Destroyer Class cruiser has been upgraded with modern warp engines and the original hangar bays housing scores of fighters, shuttles, troop transports and walkers have been converted to living quarters. This massive starship is now capable or relocating tens of thousands of displaced Cardassians whose homes were razed by the Jem’Hadar on the final, diabolical orders of the Founders. The ship that claimed to destroy stars is now given a new purpose, to create new homes.

2023 TrekAdvent, Day 15

“Victory is life.”
-Jem’Hadar
“Victory or death.”
-The Star League
Although their motivations and philosophies may be polar opposites, the Jem’Hadar and Star League seem to place similar values on emerging from battle through the defeat of one’s enemies. It is through this thin kinship that the warriors of the Dominion pay homage to the Starfighters by fashioning their newest line of battle cruisers after the Gunstars that once secured the Galactic Frontier against the Kodan Armada. With each manned by one pilot, one gunner and equipped with the formidable Death Blossom weapon system, these vessels cast a fearsome shadow over all the Alpha Quadrant races whose sleep is fraught with terror at the thought of the Founders once again seeking to topple the Federation, the Klingon Empire and any who stand with them.
