Star Trek: Armada III begins with the first stirrings of the Dominion War and allows players to take command of five unique factions, the United Federation of Planets, the Klingon Empire, the Romulan Star Empire, the Cardassian Union/Dominion Alliance, and the Borg Collective. Explore strange new worlds, seek out new life and new civilizations, and boldly go where no one has gone before.
"I used up all my tears when the Dominion slaughtered the Maquis. I sat here in this cell for three days and listened to the reports as they came in. In those three days, everyone and everything I cared about was wiped out."
"I heard the same reports. It was a tragedy."
"Your generosity of spirit touches me. But you don't give a damn about what happened to us, and I don't give a damn about what happens to you."
----------
"You want to blame me for what happened to the Maquis? Fine! Go ahead, blame me. Blame Starfleet. Blame the Federation. Blame everyone except Michael Eddington!"
"The Maquis won their greatest victories under my leadership."
"Your leadership! Your shining moment of glory! Michael Eddington gets to take off his gold uniform and play hero. That's what you always wanted, to lead troops in a glorious cause! Well, you had your chance, and look where you led them - right into their graves!"
"They died because I wasn't there when they needed me most! Because you put me in jail!"
"They died because you filled their heads with false hopes. Sold them dreams of a military victory when what they really needed was a negotiated peace!"
"We had the Cardassians on the run!"
"And they ran right into the arms of the Dominion. End of story."
Reading that description, you forget how good a commentary DS9 was on how **** war is in general :/
And yet DS9 was also a good reminder of why sometimes war is a necessary evil.
DAT AFT!
