The sixth season premiere finds Starfleet continuing to lose ground
to the Dominion in their war for control of the Alpha Quadrant. In

Odo must cope with the new reality of living under enemy rule.
The Author's Keyboard:
- Ronald D. Moore:
The War won't be wrapped up in the first episode. It will run for
a while and with a lot of interesting story lines along the way.
- Ronald D. Moore:
I'm not sure what the next step will be for the Kai (don't worry,
we won't forget about her) but I do know that Weyoun will be on
Terok Nor, uncomfortably sharing power with Elmo Dukat.
- Ronald D. Moore:
Elmo?!
It's always been his first name. You didn't know that?
- Ronald D. Moore:
We don't have an estimate on the number in the fleet -- however, we
do not believe that it was the ONLY fleet forming to fight against
the Dominion from SF.

DETAILED REPORT
Several months into their war against the Dominion/Cardassian alliance, the Federation is fighting a losing battle. Having long ago abandoned Deep Space Nine, Sisko and his crew have been taking on the enemy from the U.S.S. Defiant. But they grow more and more demoralized as fleets of promised reinforcements are demolished. Reacting to the heavy losses, Federation Admiral Ross informs Sisko that he is no longer in command of the U.S.S. Defiant.
