Federation and allied Romulan
By now, you've faced the Borg.

The Collective is appearing with more frequency in the Alpha Quadrant, and Defera is facing repeated attacks.

''We've been able to push them back so far, but we can't do it forever. Not without help.''

''Starfleet has convinced representatives from the Klingon Empire, the Cardassians, and the Deferi to meet on Deep Space 9. We want you to be there as well.''

Klingon and allied Romulan
My name is Commander Mesi Achebe, and I was authorized by your High Council to contact you.

By now, you've faced the Borg.

The Collective is appearing with more frequency in the Alpha Quadrant, and Defera is facing increasing attacks.

''We've been able to push them back so far, but we can't do it forever. Not without help.''

''Starfleet is organizing a meeting on DS9 to discuss the Borg situation. Representatives from Starfleet, the Cardassians, and the Deferi will be present. Your chancellor is sending a representative as well. We want you to be there to represent the Klingon forces fighting the Collective.''

We have our differences, but some problems are simply too big to ignore.

Summary
The player is called to Deep Space 9 to attend a conference. Captain James Kurland is delayed and his first officer, Commander Karen Andrews, asks you to inform the other delegates.

Rugan Skyl, Ambassador Surah, Captain Va'Kel Shon and S'taass can be found around the Promenade and offer optional side quests. When Kurland's issue in Cargo Bay Three is resolved, Admiral Zav glasch Trem, who seeks peace and quiet in the Bajoran temple, is taken to the conference by the player.

The conference commences and Admiral Trem's bid for cooperation is countered by claims and doubts. It depends on the player to form a tentative coalition. Just as common ground is approached, the Bajoran wormhole spits out a fleet of Dominion warships. DS9 comes under fire and boarded by Jem'Hadar forces.

A Jem'Hadar beams directly into the wardroom and backstabs Admiral Trem, but is swiftly killed by S'taass. It is the player's turn to evacuate the surviving delegates. Jem'Hadar troops have to be fought while sneaking across the Promenade to the docking ring.

Once the delegates are in their shuttles, the player commands his/her ship in the ensuing fight with Jem'Hadar attack ships, punching a hole through the enemy lines and rescuing several ships under heavy attack.

With the enemy forces fighting these ships defeated, the delegates' evacuation assured and the fleet retreating to Bajor, the mission is accomplished. However, with the fall of DS9 the Dominion fleet has gained a bridgehead in the Alpha Quadrant.
