History: |
Very little is known about the past history of the Dominion. Even its exact age is uncertain. Once of the Founders has said that her people began "many years ago" to impose order on their chaotic surroundings with the Gamma Quadrant. More recent information suggests the Changelings, after centuries of persecution with the Gamma Quadrant, retreated to a planet within the Omarion Nebula |
About 2,000 years ago, the Changelings, who seem to view chaos as a personal threat, begin to reach out into the Quadrant and build the Dominion as a way to create order out of disorder. In the process, they become known as the Founders |
