The Klingon Empire did not fare much better. Their wars against the Federation, the Cardassians, and eventually the Dominion left their military tattered. While the fighting never reached Klingon territory, their forces had been in the trenches the longest, and had to hold back the Dominion and Breen advance almost entirely on their own while a countermeasure to the Breen weapon was developed. Estimates suggested that it would take at least a decade before they had reached full strength. It remained to be seen how wartime Chancellor Martok would handle the Empire in a period of peace. | The Klingon Empire did not fare much better.

− | The Federation and Romulan Empire both suffered heavy death tolls, but among the remaining powers, it was speculated that these two would be the ones struggling for control of a post-war quadrant. Even during the final days of the war, many from both sides wondered if their alliance was only temporary. There was even some concern that worlds liberated from the Dominion by the Romulans, such as Benzar, would not be ceded back to the Federation. Although the territory would be returned, the Neutral Zone was still in effect. Serious peace talks did not begin until late 2379 following the failed coup by Shinzon. Until then, both sides maintained a defensive posture. Ship design doctrine became more aggressive. The Romulans developed new warbird classes that were smaller, but just as heavily armed, while the Federation focused on increasing the armament of all of their ships. Aging classes, such as the {class|Miranda} would be phased out in favor of newer, more advanced starships. | + | The Federation and Romulan Empire both suffered heavy death tolls, but among the remaining powers, it was speculated that these two would be the ones struggling for control of a post-war quadrant.

Fortunately the Dominion War was one of the last great conflicts. As the Alpha and Beta Quadrants rebuilt, the major powers would not face threats from each other. Instead, they would see the emergence of local threats and regional powers. Rogue Cardassian groups would occasionally skirmish along the border. The Romulans would face a number of internal conflicts, and the Klingons faced border issues with the Gorn. The Federation would see its own threats in the Galactic South, such as tensions with the [[Ritorian Confederacy|Ritorians]] and hostilities with the [[Sojourners]]. | Fortunately the Dominion War was one of the last great conflicts.
