== | ==History== | ||
The Jem'Hadar were genetically engineered by the Founders specifically for warfare since the 4th century, the [[Dominion]]s first line of defense. They were created with a god-like reverence of all [[Changeling]]s as well as an innate addiction to the narcotic ketracel-white, assuring their absolute dependence and obedience. | |||
At some point in the mid-22nd century, the Dominion encountered a space-faring race in the Teplan system, whom believed nothing was beyond their ability - including resisting the Dominion. In response to this, the Jem'Hadar left their homeworld crushed as an example to others. | |||
By 2370, the Jem'Hadar invaded and conquered a race known as the [[T-Rogoran]]s. This conveniently allowed the escape of the [[Skrreea]], a race of farmers whom had been enslaved by the T-Rogorans. | |||
The first official contact with the Jem'Hadar would occur when their forces destroyed a number of ships and colonies beyond the [[Bajoran]] wormhole, taking two Deep Space 9 citizens hostage. The Jem'Hadar claimed that the offensive, which included the destruction of a New bajor colony and the [[ma:USS Odyssey|USS ''Odyssey'']], was in response to incursions into their territory, but actually served as a cover to plant a [[Vorta]] spy into the [[Federation]]. This attempt would be unsuccessful, but would also instigate the Dominion cold war. | |||
The [[Romulan]] [[Tal Shiar]] and the [[Cardassian]] [[Obsidian Order]] were identified as key targets for the Dominion to eliminate during the war. A plan concocted by the former head of the Obsidian Order to form an alliance with the Tal Shiar, with the ultimate goal to cripple the Dominion by wiping out the Founders was found out, and a Changeling assumed the identity of a Romulan Colonel as a guarantee that the plan would be carried forward. in 2371, a fleet of Tal Shiar and Obsidian Order warships assembled in secret bombarded the Founders' homeworld, only to discover it was a trap. A large fleet of 150 Jem'Hadar fighters ambushed and destroyed the fleet, effectively crippling the Tal Shiar and eliminating the Obsidian Order. | |||
In early 2374, the war would prove disastrous for the allied Federation and [[Klingon]] forces, which were forced into retreat on most fronts. Their luck would only turn when a massive fleet of 2,800 Jem'Hadar warships disappeared inside the Bajoran wormhole, losing the Dominion's ensured victory.<ref>[http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Dominion_history ''Dominion history''], Memory Alpha</ref> | |||
