I think the Dominion would make that very hard for them, after all, they wouldn't have Seven to add some Borg updates every other week.

Voyager would have been up the creek in the Gamma Quadrant. The Dominion would have destroyed Voyager very early on.

Would Voygers shields work against Dominion Polaron beams ?

Technically it shouldn't. Though nothing can penetrate Voyagers character shield.

Of course, Cuntain Janeway will use the magic she has gained from her covenant with B&B to pussify the Dominion just as she did to the Borg. After that we will see Voyager triumphing against a half a dozen Jem'hadar battleships Etc.

Character shields amount to nothing more than really good luck and really bad judgement on the part of their enemies.

Had the Dominion War started when Voyager was lost? I can't remember. Either way, barring miracles, wandering wormholes or the dominion getting itself somehow involved with 8472 (or too busy with the war to worry about a wandering ship, that Red Squad Defiant seemed to manage for a while), then Voyager will get soundly thrashed by Dominion Fleets as soon as it hits Founder territory.

Actually this would be easier for Voyager. Just chart a course for the Wormhole.

Debatable, depends where in the Gamma Qaudrant.

However, I agree, Plotting a course to the wormhole would be an idea, and when they hit Dominion space, do a lot of hiding into you get there

The Dominion War began after, sometime before the VGR episode "Message in a Bottle".

Voyager gets shot to pieces and the crew lands in an internment asteroid.

Voyager gets hurled into the gamma quadrent. Spends a couple of years getting to the wormhole and playing hide and seek with the dominion. They get to throught the wormhole and breathe a sigh of relieve: they're save. Then they hit a mine BOOM!! Voyagers lost with all hands.

Or... Voyager gets home, filled to the brim with founders, Jem Hadar, and a large glowing thing with 'Star Fleet Command or Bust' written on the side... :twisted:

How would Voyger do against Dominion ships in one to one combat ?

I think she will win against the Attack ships but not before taking some heavy damage. If the Attack ship rams her like the USS Oddesy then Voyger is gone.

Against Battlecruisers Voyger does not stand a chance. She would have better luck fighting a GCS. The same goes for the Battleships.

Voyger will need a cloaking device if they are to make to the wormhole alive. I believe Janeways can only hope Sisko learns of her situation and comes with the Defiant to rescue her.

No. Voyager was pulled into the DQ over a year before the events of DS9's 'The Ship' where they captured an intact Jem'Hadar attack fighter and it wouldn't be until the end of the season in 'A Call to Arms' that through reverse-engineering the polaron weapons, Starfleet (and presumably the Klingons) were able to modify their shields against Jem'Hadar weapons.

Considering the Polaron beams will penetrate Voyagers shields I'd say it wouldn't last more than 30 seconds against a Beatle

Since Voyger can not make to the wormhole what are the chances that Sisko will learn of their situation and come to the rescue ?

Well depends where Voyager is in the Gamma Quadrant, where the Wormhole is and how long it takes for Voyager to somehow get a message to Alpha Quadrant. In Voyager they had no idea it was in the Delta Quadrant until the episode "Message in a Bottle" so odds are Sisko won't just "find out".

Assuming he does find out somehow is there anything he could do ?

Why are you asking us anyways? Did you watch the show? Ask yourself? Again I think it comes down to how far Voyager is from the Wormhole, if she is 7 years trip away then I seriously doubt Sisko could help and regardless I doubt it would be Siskos problem in the first place, if Sisko knew, the federation would know and someone else would deal with it. If Voyager was somehow close enough to the wormhole then Sisko would tell the feds, he would go back to his duty and the Federation would try to arrange some kind of deal with the Dominion to get it home safely. I also think the Dominion would use this leverage as a method of getting themselves into the Alpha Quadrant quicker :) But again, I don't see why you brought Sisko into this, its not like he would hop in the defiant and go in guns blazing.

The thing is when Voyager started the Dominion wheren't known off. However being the empire they they are the Dominion would capture Voyager on the edge of their terratory just on the princible that they are strangers.

How big was the Dominions terratory in the Gamma Quadrent anyway?

Whos writing the series? Original Voyager writers or DS9 writers?

If original Voyagers writers then the ship makes it home, survives countless encounters with Dominion ships, technobabbles effective weapons and defenses against them, and destroys the Founders, and Janeway is promoted to Admiral. :roll:

DS9 writers, the ship dies a quick death the first time it encounters a Jem'Hadar ship.

The attack ships would smash it. Oddesy didn't stand a chance, and probably wouldn't have escaped even if it hadn't been rammed. That was a GCS, Voyager is a mere scout ship.
